Our story
We keep projects moving.
Most new homes are delayed in the gaps: between the agent and the surveyor, the designer and the council, the builder and the bank. We set up Hills & Harbour to close those gaps.
We work across the whole journey: finding and assessing land, subdividing it, managing approvals and coordinating the build of new homes. One team, one schedule, one set of numbers.
The name says where we work. The hills and the harbour frame Adelaide, and every project we take on sits somewhere between them.

How we work
Four principles.
They shape every report, schedule and conversation.
01
Facts, shown plainly.
Real figures, real dates, named sources. A number beats an adjective.
02
One schedule.
Land, design, approvals and build sit on one timeline that you can see at any time.
03
No gaps.
We coordinate every consultant, so nothing waits on a handover between them.
04
Built to hand over.
Every decision is made with the day you get the keys in mind.
Process
Six stages of build.
Always in this order. We run each stage and the joins between them.
01
Land
Site search, appraisal, zoning checks and the true cost to build.
02
Slab
Set-out, footings and the slab, inspected before framing starts.
03
Framing
Wall frames, floor and roof trusses, checked against the plans.
04
Internal Works
Services, insulation, plaster, cabinetry and finishes.
05
External Works
Cladding, roofing, windows, driveway, fencing and landscaping.
06
Handover
Defects fixed, certificates collected, keys handed over.
