Cave Cottle

Renovation
Completed in April 2025, Cave Cottle was a highly collaborative renovation in New Acton East — designed to bring new life, warmth and character to a unique apartment for a creative family of three. With a shared love of design, music, art, and architecture, the clients wanted their home to reflect their passions while solving several layout and functionality challenges.

Renovation
Custom Carpentry
Completed in early 2025, this renovation was designed for a young family who love cooking, entertaining and time together. In collaboration with MYMYMY and trusted trades, we reworked the kitchen, dining, lounge and ensuite to maximise light, flow and function. Featuring custom carpentry, recycled blackbutt flooring, bold stone and double-glazed timber windows, the result is a warm home that blends mid-century and art deco style with everyday liveability.

Custom Carpentry
Completed in December 2024, this renovation and custom carpentry project focused on reworking the kitchen, living, laundry and ensuite to improve function and flow. We extended the ensuite, reshaped key layouts, and installed custom joinery using Victorian Ash timber, alongside double-glazed sliding doors — all delivered in close collaboration with JC Interior Design and a skilled team of trades.

Our services

New builds & knock-down rebuilds
Whether you’re starting fresh or rebuilding on an existing block, we take a practical, tailored approach to every new home. We manage knock-down rebuilds from start to finish, coordinating demolition, construction and final detailing with care and precision.

Our experience means we spot challenges early and guide your project through each stage with minimal stress. We build homes that are made to last and feel right from the day you move in.
Home renovations & extensions
We create spaces that work better for the way you live. Whether it’s rethinking the layout, opening up living areas or adding extra space, we take a tailored, practical approach to every project.

No two homes are the same. We plan carefully, work respectfully within the existing structure, and make sure new work feels like it’s always been there. Our team manages the details and keeps things moving smoothly from start to finish.
Custom carpentry & feature pieces
Carpentry is where DXT began, and it continues to set our work apart. From architectural timber details to one-of-a-kind structural elements, we create custom features that bring warmth, character and craftsmanship to every build.

Whether it’s a feature wall, bespoke furniture or outdoor structures built to last, we design and construct with precision, intention and a deep respect for the materials we use.
Sustainability
At DXT, sustainability is part of how we build. We look for practical ways to reduce waste and reuse materials without compromising quality.

Where possible, we upcycle elements to reduce waste, including hardwoods and unique architectural features, and give them new life in all our projects.

It’s a simple way we help create a more sustainable future.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Duncan and Tim from DXT Constructions on a major renovation of our home. From start to finish, they were professional, friendly, and incredibly approachable. Their attention to detail and commitment to delivering a high-quality finished product were evident throughout the entire project. What really stood out was their excellent communication and flexibility. They kept us informed every step of the way, listened to our ideas, and were always willing to adapt as needed. Renovations can be stressful, but Duncan and Tim made the process smooth and enjoyable with their calm and genuine care for the work they do. We’re thrilled with the outcome and strongly recommend DXT Constructions to anyone looking for skilled, reliable, and personable builders.

We couldn’t be happier with the result — the work exceeded our expectations. The quality of the craftsmanship is excellent. Tim is a perfectionist, backed by a strong team of skilled craftsmen, and their attention to detail is truly exceptional. The space they created is both functional and beautifully simple. It feels calm, elevated, and thoughtfully designed, embracing natural light and a seamless sense of flow. The custom joinery, craftsmanship, and overall finish reflect a refined and welcoming atmosphere. Tim and his team were always solutions focused, with a clear motto: “Never a problem, only solutions.” We have no hesitation in recommending Tim, Duncan, and the team to anyone looking to build or renovate.

Jerrabomberra Home Renovation

Duncan, Tim and their team are very professional. We are so happy with the major renovations they completed on our home. Each day the site was cleared and cleaned. The team were always polite and communicated the tasks and schedules. We are so proud of the finished project and impressed by the timeline. We would personally recommend them to anyone who wants minor or major improvements to their home.

Deakin Home Renovation

DXT came highly recommended to us and proved to be responsible, reliable builders who delivered quality results. They executed our interior design plans beautifully, and gave good advice on minor adjustments to make the plans fit the space. They communicated well about any changes so there were no nasty surprises re: budget and timeframes. DXT managed the project and various subcontractors so that we didn’t have to find tilers, joiners, painters, plumbers etc ourselves. The DXT team were very friendly and helpful, and always cleaned up the site as soon as they could. DXT made the process of renovating a house while living in it as painless as it could possibly be. No hesitations recommending them to anyone who needs a builder.

Jerrabomberra Home Renovation

DXT Construction recently finished a kitchen, ensuite, WC, laundry, flooring, and repainting ceilings for me and the whole process was easier than I expected. It took about two months, but only because I added extra work partway through. They were flexible and accommodating the whole way through. What really stood out was how detail, oriented they were. You can tell they take pride in doing things properly. Every contractor they brought in was great too - polite, professional, and just easy to deal with. Good communication and a quality finish.

Holder Kitchen Renovation

A five star rating for our recent kitchen reno which is totally warranted. Tim managed the project with total professionalism ensuring we were always aware of each stage of the process. We were provided regular updates and the dates and timings provided by Tim for every stage of the process were always met. The quality of work was exceptional and I cannot speak more highly of Tim and his team.
