Custom home builders on the Central Coast
Owner-led new homes, duplexes, additions and renovations across the Central Coast - delivered to a high standard by Dean Grunsell and the Novacoast team.
A Central Coast builder, from the lakes to the beaches
Novacoast builds, renovates and extends homes right across the Central Coast - through Gosford, Erina and Kincumber, along the beaches at Terrigal, Wamberal, Avoca and Copacabana, around Woy Woy and the peninsula, and north to Wyong and The Entrance.
From Avoca to Gosford and everywhere in between, we provide the full range of residential building services: new home builds, home renovations and extensions, kitchen, bathroom and laundry renovations, duplexes, decks and more. Our experienced local tradespeople use premium materials and proven methods to deliver a high-quality result on every build.
The Coast throws up some of the most interesting sites we build on: steep and battleaxe blocks, coastal and bushfire-prone land, and views worth designing around. Getting those right takes a builder who plans for the site conditions and Central Coast Council requirements before the first sod is turned - not one who discovers them halfway through.
The benefits of building new on the Central Coast
Building a new home gives you complete control: a design tailored to your block, your lifestyle and your budget, with the latest energy-efficient construction to keep running costs down year after year. New builds come with warranties and modern safety and smart-home features, need less maintenance in the early years, and tend to hold their value well.
Best of all, you get the satisfaction of creating your dream home exactly the way you want it. Speak to our experienced home builders on 1300 660 691 for a free, no-obligation quote.

A well-planned renovation or extension modernises and personalises your home, improves how it functions day to day, and can add real value to your property - often a more cost-effective move than selling and buying again. It is also the chance to fix structural or safety issues, improve energy efficiency, and create the extra space a growing family needs.
Whether it is a kitchen or bathroom renovation, a second-storey addition or a full transformation, Dean and the Novacoast team manage the whole project so the result is practical, beautiful and built to last.
Common questions from Central Coast homeowners
A custom builder designs and builds a one-off home around your site, your needs and your budget. A volume (project) builder puts up large numbers of homes from a set catalogue of designs. Novacoast is an owner-led custom builder, so your home is tailored to you and your block, not pulled from a brochure.
It depends on the size and complexity of the project and the site conditions, but a standard new home typically takes around 6 to 12 months from start to handover. Custom or larger builds can run longer. We give you a realistic timeline up front and keep you updated throughout.
Yes. The Central Coast has plenty of steep, battleaxe and coastal blocks, and we plan for the site conditions - drainage, access, BAL bushfire requirements and Central Coast Council approvals - before construction starts, so there are no nasty surprises along the way.
Start with a clear, detailed fixed-price contract that spells out exactly what is included. We provide that up front, communicate regularly, and document any changes so you always know where your project stands.
Right across the region - Gosford, Erina, Terrigal, Avoca, Kincumber, Woy Woy, Wyong, The Entrance and everywhere in between - as well as Newcastle and Lake Macquarie.
