NEW HOMES BUILT FOR TASSIE LIVING – HOBART’S FAMILY-RUN BUILDING SPECIALIST
Building a new home should feel exciting, not overwhelming. At JH Eastwood Builders, we make the process simple, clear, and enjoyable from day one. Based in Hobart, TAS, we specialise in high-quality new home builds, tailored to suit your lifestyle, block, and budget.
With over 20 years of hands-on experience, we’ve seen how stressful building can be — especially when you're stuck coordinating trades, chasing paperwork, or dealing with builders who don't return your calls. That’s where we’re different.
We’re a small, family-run business that believes in honest communication, down-to-earth service, and delivering homes we’re proud to put our name to. You’ll deal directly with Josh, the builder, from the first phone call to the final handover. No middlemen. No runarounds. Just straight-up quality.

Every home build starts with your vision — and we bring that vision to life with care, skill, and full transparency.
Whether you’re after a compact home, a large family residence, or something custom, we build all styles of homes to suit Hobart’s conditions and your personal needs.
Our full-service approach means we take care of everything, including:
- Site inspections and planning
- Working with your plans or helping develop new ones

- Handover is ready to move in
You don’t need to manage a dozen contractors or guess what happens next. We handle every component of the build and keep you in the loop every step of the way.
ADDITIONAL SERVICES
A new home is more than walls and a roof; it’s a complex project that needs technical expertise and local compliance knowledge. We take care of all the extras behind the scenes, including:
BAL RATINGS
If your block is in a bushfire-prone area, we organise your Bushfire Attack Level assessment and ensure compliance.
ENERGY ASSESSMENTS
We manage your home's energy rating assessment so you meet local sustainability requirements.
SOIL TESTING
We arrange soil tests to inform the engineer of your home’s foundations.
WASTEWATER SYSTEMS
We coordinate aerated or alternative wastewater solutions for rural and off-grid blocks.
ENGINEERING
We liaise with qualified engineers to guarantee structural integrity and safety from the ground up.
All these services are integrated into your build, saving you time, money, and headaches.
FLEXIBLE, TAILORED SERVICE
We can work with your plans and architect, or we can connect you with a trusted draftsman to help develop your plan for you.
Every homeowner’s journey is different. Some people come to us with complete architectural drawings. Others just have ideas sketched on paper. Either way, we’ll meet you where you're at.
We’re happy to build from:
- Your existing plans
- Plans developed by your chosen architect or designer
- New plans created with help from our trusted local draftsman
We’ll also provide honest feedback on design choices, layout, materials, and what will work best for your block and budget. Our job is to make sure your dream home is not just buildable, but also liveable and long-lasting.
SHED BUILDS
Looking to add a shed to your new home project? We also build custom home sheds of any size, whether it's for:
- Storage
- Garages
- Workshops
- Garden tools
- Rural or lifestyle blocks
Like everything we build, our sheds are designed for Tasmanian conditions and made to last. We can include shed construction as part of your home build or as a standalone service.
