Love where you live, but wish your home worked a little better for you?

Maybe it’s more room for the family, a better kitchen layout, or an outdoor space you actually use.

At Alegra Building Services, we help Adelaide Hills homeowners bring their ideas to life—from new home builds and renovations to decks and pergolas.

If you could change ONE thing about your home, what would it be?

Tell us in the comments—or send us a message if you’d like to talk through a project you’re considering. You don’t need all the answers to start a conversation.

The Ridge. Built in the Hills, built your way.
288m², 4 bedrooms, 2 living areas, 22m² alfresco, double garage. Designed, drawn and ready to build in the Adelaide Hills.

Most of the people come to us with a block of land and a rough idea. The Ridge gives you somewhere to start.

The plans are drawn, the costings are done and our team is ready to go, so you're not waiting months on a design before you know what your home will cost. This is a custom build, not a kit. Make modifications...if it works for how your family lives, we'll build it.

We live in the Hills, we build in the Hills, and every home we put up sits in a community that we're proud to be a part of.

Book a sit-down with our team. Bring your block, your wish list, or just a rough idea. We'll walk you through the plan and tell you honestly what your version will cost.

Introducing The Ridge by Alegra Building Services.

It's one of our new standard plans, and everything about it is already done. Drawn, costed, and ready to build.

288m² under roof. Four bedrooms, two separate living areas, and a 22m² alfresco with a timber-lined ceiling that catches the Hills views.

What you get:

🏡 6.83 x 5.37m open plan living and dining, opening straight onto the alfresco
🛏️ Master with walk-in robe and ensuite at one end, three bedrooms and a second lounge at the other
🍽️ Kitchen with a walk-in pantry
🔥 Alfresco with built-in BBQ and a raked timber ceiling
🚗 Double garage, auto panel lift door

Here's why that matters. On a custom build, the slowest and most expensive part is the bit before anyone picks up a hammer: months of design, revisions, and cost surprises. The Ridge skips all of it. The plans exist. The price is known. The build time is known. And our team has capacity now.

🛁 **Bathroom Remodel Tip: Don't skimp on ventilation.**

One of the most overlooked parts of a bathroom renovation? Extraction. A powerful, well-placed exhaust fan isn't just about fogged-up mirrors — it's what stops moisture building up in your walls and ceiling, which over time leads to mould, peeling paint, and rotting timber.

A few things we always check with clients:
✅ Fan capacity matched to room size (not just "whatever came with the last one")
✅ Ducting that vents outside — not just into the roof cavity
✅ Fan placement directly over the shower/bath, not tucked in a corner

It's the kind of detail that doesn't show up in the "after" photos, but makes all the difference five years down the track.

Thinking about a bathroom reno in the Adelaide Hills? We're always happy to have a chat about what's worth spending on — and what's not.
