Rick Altavilla
OWNER & BUILDER
It all started at a very young age, apprenticed by my father, Richard Altavilla Snr. I obtained my Carpentry & Joinery License by the age of 18, followed by a complete Builders License by 21. I furthered my education in Project Management at UTS in 2011.
My family and my life in the beautiful Blue Mountains is what motivates me to grow both as a builder and as an individual. I have a particular love of the local, historic style architecture, respecting and preserving original styles, with a modern approach. Being a builder in the Blue Mountains requires a lot of creativity and adaptability, working within such a dramatic natural environment.
Let’s chat and bring your vision to life.

We promise to keep you informed through daily site reports, immediate updates on discoveries backed by photographic evidence and weekly site meetings to go through where we are and where we’re going.
We understand a major concern when choosing a builder is what happens if something goes wrong. That's why we have a standard 10 year structural guarantee (4 years above industry mandated standard), and 7 years on workmanship and materials.
So, we’ve got your back for the next decade!
