About us

SMD Projects Co is a family-run building company based in Newcastle, delivering high-quality homes across Newcastle and Lake Macquarie.

Led by Stewart, with over 20 years of industry experience, we specialise in custom new homes, renovations and extensions tailored to each client.

Known for our hands-on approach, attention to detail and trusted team of skilled trades, we take pride in building spaces that are thoughtfully designed and beautifully executed.

As a family business, we place genuine value on clear communication, honesty and trust. We take the time to listen, keep our clients informed throughout the build and make the process as smooth and enjoyable as possible—from first conversation to final handover.

Quality without compromise, and homes built to be lived in.
