Noted for strength and good temperament

The horse breed that built our nation, once integral to Australian society, used for log snigging and milled timber transport, and only hung up their reigns for Carlton and United Breweries in 2018. The team at Draught Horse Construction will help you re capture in your heart the appreciation and preservation of the past.

We specialise in the relocation and restoration of Colonial, Victorian, Federation, Edwardian, Inter-War and Post-War Architectural style homes.

Brisbane CBD expansion and density increases sees homes of these styles on big blocks in high demand by land developers and an opportunity to save the building from demolition and restore the old house back to its former glory as your new home.

We operate in South East Queensland and Northern NSW, Byron Bay is another example of an area where land demand creates such opportunities.

You can save thousands on the cost of building new, and contribute to the circular economy by recycling all of the materials that would have otherwise needed to be produced or have been demolished, you can also save on time. Re cycle, Re Use, Re Love.

The average cost of relocating a house is between $70,000 and $100,000 we work with specialist house relocation companies who organise road permits, pilot vehicles and escorts and use trucks with latest technology trailers featuring electronic lifting systems to enable minimal building strain when compared to sling lifting.

We help you to find a home that will suit the orientation and shape of your block, or one that can be economically modified to suit.

We teach you to read the language of your home's architectural style so you can choose the finishing touches for the home of your dreams, including finials, paired posts, window hoods, leadlight and casement windows, archways with feature droppers and, fretwork pediments that compliment the character and style of the era.

We assist you with Local Council planning and building approval and reticulation of services, using rapid implementation of skilled contractors to enable a fast return of your bond, so that your overall finance cost to complete remains low.

It is generally cheaper to raise a house and line the lower level than it is to build a shed, or you may want to build in underneath to maximise your potential floor space and increase the open space on your block.

We don't have pages and pages on the website, we have a statement that notes our strength and good temperament.

And just like the Draught Horse...... We help you to carry the load......
