F J & N Richards

F.J. & N. Richards Master Builders is a family business with a rich history that spans over 50 years. Established in Camberwell in 1964, we have built a reputation for delivering high-quality homes and renovations. Owned and run by the Richards family, Ben Richards is now the third generation to continue the legacy of building exceptional homes. We specialise in new designer homes, period style renovations and extensions, sustainable design and construction, underground rainwater tanks, earth moving, and natural stone construction.

Our experience in sustainable design and construction practices enables us to build not only new sustainable homes but also renovate existing homes with these principles in mind. We have established close working relationships with some of Australia's leading architects, and we can easily arrange for the design and construction of your new home or renovation.

Renovations and Extensions

We pride ourselves on matching existing architecture, incorporating new concepts in open space and sustainable living. We can match every detail of period design homes, from plaster cornices right down to sourcing the exact bricks that the original house was built from. Our tried and tested quality tradesmen will give you "The best possible job at the best possible price". If your family is growing, and you need more room, we will transform your old cottage with badly planned layout into a grand home full of light and space. We strive to build for you an extension or renovation that restores that "whole new house" feeling.

Underground Rainwater Tanks

A recent addition to our range of services is the supply and installation of Atlantis Underground water tanks. These tanks are amazing! We can install tanks under your lawn or driveway or even under a house before construction! With the ability to bear massive loads (up to 38 tonnes to the square metre) Atlantis matrix tanks are so versatile. Catch every drop of rainwater with our unique catchment system. Build your tank any size. We can easily store 50,000 litres of rainwater on a regular suburban block with absolutely no loss of yard space.

Earthmoving and Excavation

Our experienced team can handle all aspects of earthmoving and excavation for your construction project. We have the expertise and equipment to complete any size job, from small residential excavations to large commercial sites. Our machines are perfectly suited to this work, small enough to get into yards and big enough for even the toughest digging.

Natural Stone Construction

We specialise in natural stone construction for an elegant and sophisticated finish. Our skilled tradesmen have years of experience working with natural stone, and we can incorporate this beautiful material into any aspect of your home, from feature walls and floors to outdoor entertaining areas.

In conclusion, F.J. & N. Richards Master Builders is a family business with a long history of building quality homes and renovations. We offer a range of services, from new designer homes and period style renovations to sustainable design, underground rainwater tanks, earth moving, and natural stone construction.
