Ben and Aaron Tass were done with plans changing after the slab was poured, so they put the architect’s desk next to the builder’s. A multi-award winning construction company, every custom job now starts with real numbers, not wishful thinking. They walk through upfront cost breakdowns, clear client chats, and keeping growth steady in a brother-run shop. Want fewer variations and smoother builds? Give this one a run.

What sets us apart is those hard conversations have already been had with the clients. It's not like, let's just start the job and we'll see. We make sure everything is done upfront.

About the Tass brothers

 

Ben Tass is co-founder of TASS Construction, an award-winning Sydney firm building high-end custom homes. With his brother Aaron, he’s embraced a design-and-construct model, bringing architects, estimators, and project managers under one roof to streamline builds and avoid budget blowouts. Early collaboration is key—aligning design with real costs from day one. Their work has earned recognition including HIA Emerging Builder and NSW Professional Small Builder of the Year.
