Custom homes and renovations

Lennox Head & Ballina Builders.

MGM is a family run residential builder based in Skennars Head, working across the Northern Rivers from Evans Head to Mullumbimby.

Building or renovating a home is a long process, and the relationship matters as much as the result. MGM has spent two decades doing both across Lennox Head, Ballina and the Northern Rivers. Most of our work still comes through people we have built for, or people they know.

What we do

Six things, done well.

New homes

Architect designed custom homes, built to plan and budget.

Extensions

Considered additions to existing homes.

Renovations

Full home renovations, large and small.

Bathrooms

Bathroom renovations, end to end.

Kitchens

Kitchen renovations and replacements.

Laundries

Functional laundry renovations, designed to last.

Recent work

A selection of recent homes and renovations from across Lennox Head, Ballina and the surrounds.

14 Roder Place, Richmond Hill

A two-bathroom renovation in Richmond Hill that nearly doubled the size of the master ensuite by relocating the walk-in robe, paired with a full rebuild of the main bathroom for a cohesive, contemporary finish.

10 Seaside Avenue, Skennars Head

A mid-century modern inspired family home in the Aureus estate at Skennars Head, built by MGM as both builder and client. A showcase of craftsmanship, natural materials and a seamless connection between inside and out.

Swell Avenue, Skennars Head

A pavilion style architectural home in the Aureus beachfront community at Skennars Head, with a central courtyard pool. Designed by Create Architecture, built by MGM.

How we work

We get involved early, often before the architect, and stay involved through to handover.

Early engagement

We help shape the brief before it goes to the architect, so the project comes in on budget.

Fixed price contracts

What we quote is what you pay, with variations only when the scope changes.

Approvals handled

We manage DA and council requirements across Ballina, Byron and Lismore councils.

Built to last

Two year defect period as standard, and a relationship that continues well beyond it.

Cert IV in Building and Construction

22 years of residential building experience across the Northern Rivers

We remain thrilled with our experience building with MGM. Matt’s knowledge, skill, and attention to detail are unmatched. His communication was clear, honest, reassuring and patient. What truly sets him apart is the respect he has with his trades, suppliers and architects. That cohesion made for a seamless build and an exceptionally refined final result, even through Covid border closures and repeated floods.
