Bringing your home improvement dreams to life
As one of Adelaide’s most highly skilled boutique carpentry and building companies, we’re here to bring your home improvement dreams to life.
At Elite Built, we’re not one of those typical builders who’ll try to pigeonhole you into doing what’s easiest for us. And we won’t send a sales representative to get you to sign the deal, only to have what you want get lost in translation before the builder even gets to your door.
From our first meeting, our skilled team will work with you to design, plan and build exactly what you need to make your house the home you’ve always wanted.
Whether adding on a new space for your growing family or a full renovation to turn your aging house into a sensational modern home, we’ll take you from concept to reality with quality work and exceptional attention to detail.
At Elite Built, we are:
Highly skilled
As trained builders and carpenters, we bring the skills you need to get the job done. We know how to solve tricky problems and meticulously plan our work to achieve exactly what you want.
Collaborative
Your home improvement goals are our building goals. We’ll ask all the right questions to make sure we understand what you really need so that we can create the right space for your home.
Trustworthy
Being invited into your home is a privilege we don’t take lightly. We take care to minimise disruptions to your everyday life, and we always leave your home tidy at the end of each day.
Reliable
We’ll deliver beautiful, high-quality work for your home. We do what we say we’ll do, and if things need to change, we’ll come up with a solution and keep you informed every step of the way.
We custom build to your needs
We take a bespoke approach to designing building solutions to suit your home and your budget. That’s how we ensure you get the right solution, the right materials and the right final result for your home improvement project.
We take on jobs the others won’t
We’re all about solving those tricky building problems and finding ways to make what you want possible. And our carpentry mastery means we’re not afraid of new ideas or ‘out-of-the-box’ work other builders won’t even quote on.
We build your project ourselves
At Elite Built, we don’t make you pay extra for salespeople who don’t understand your goals or how to achieve them. With us, the person who takes your brief will be the person who’s there on the tools, making sure you get what you want.
We can take care of everything
From small extensions to entire renovations to backyard transformations, we project manage the entire process for you. We’ll take care of the design, approvals, engineering, and all trades and contractors. So you don’t have to.
The Elite Built team is here for you
With years of industry experience, Duane Lucas is a trained carpenter who leads with exceptional trade skills and demands the highest standards from his team.
The Elite Built crew takes pride in their work and upholds our core values and attributes of being:
- Highly skilled
- Collaborative
- Trustworthy
- Reliable
We hold all necessary building licenses and insurances. And our crew ensure all on-site safety precautions are in place to protect your family and ours.
Our team are professional, polite and knowledgeable tradies who care for your property as a trusted friend.
Clear and collaborative processes
Our clear and collaborative process ensures we understand what you need right from the start. And as the project evolves, we’ll keep you informed every step of the way so there are no nasty surprises or unexpected outcomes.
We get the right people for the right job
In home renovations and backyard transformations, you need the right people for the right job. At Elite Built, we have the in-house expertise to take on all carpentry and building needs.
But when it comes to the trade work we don’t do ourselves, we can work with your preferred suppliers or enlist any one of our trusted trades and project manage the right experts from our wide range of local networks to deliver the result you’re after.
This could include people like:
- architects
- engineers
- landscapers
- plumbers
- electricians
- painters
- plasterers
- cabinet-makers
- interior designers
- draftsmen
- roofers
- pool installers
- bricklayers
- stonemasons
and everything in between.
From years of experience, we’ve aligned ourselves with the best professionals and tradespeople to join your project team. And we’ll manage your renovation from start to finish, ensuring all crews work together to build your project to meet our demanding Elite Built standards.
We’ve worked with some pretty serious renovators who love us for our master carpentry skills, problem-solving ability, and flexible way of working.
That’s why they call us
‘the builder serious renovators choose.’

What we wanted
“From the very first meeting, Duane had suggestions on ways to do things and good ideas around slight alterations to make the job more efficient and aesthetically pleasing. He suggested materials we weren’t aware of and asked all the right questions so he could understand our concept and exactly what we wanted to achieve.”
