Goodisson Constructions is now Eleven Build Co
This is our home now.
Same hands. Same standard. A name that finally fits.
But the jobs kept getting bigger. A deck became a patio, a patio became an extension, an extension became a second dwelling, and eventually people stopped asking us to build part of the house and started asking us to build the house. Somewhere in there we stopped being a carpentry business and became a building company. The name never caught up.
Hervey Bay is not where we ended up. It is where we chose to stay, where our kids go to school, and where we will still be when the warranty period is a distant memory. This is our home now, and we build here accordingly.
Read the full storyBuilt for Generations
Two meanings, both deliberate: houses that last, and houses that hold more than one generation at once.
The first is the obvious one: build it properly and it outlasts you. Flashings that are actually lapped, timber that is actually seasoned, a frame that is square because someone checked. The things you cannot see are the things that decide whether a house is still sound in forty years.
The second is the one shaping most of our work right now. Families are moving back in together — ageing parents, adult kids who cannot get into the market, grandchildren under the same roof. That means dual living, self-contained additions, granny flats that are not an afterthought, and floor plans that give three generations somewhere to be alone. We design for that on purpose, not as a compromise.
Hervey Bay, from the ground up
It starts with a block.
Then the frame goes up.
Then it becomes a house.
Then a family lives in it.
One block on the Fraser Coast, from survey pegs to the lights coming on. This is the whole business in one gesture — we came up as carpenters, and we never stopped being the people who put the frame up.
What we build
Six kinds of work. One licence-holder on site.
New homes
One family, one block, one house that suits the way you actually live.
Multi-generational & dual living
Three generations, one title, and everyone still has a door they can shut.
Renovations & extensions
Making an old Queensland house work like a new one, without stripping the character out of it.
Kitchens & bathrooms
The two rooms that decide how a house feels to live in.
Decks & patios
Where the Queensland half of the house actually happens.
Premium Backyard Retreats
The Pool House
Designed for entertaining and relaxing, the Pool House is a luxury extension of your outdoor living space — and it can be customised to suit your home and the way you use the yard.
Indoor room & outdoor deck
A genuine room you can close up and cool down, opening onto a covered deck that carries the entertaining. The two work as one space with the glazed doors pushed right back.
Powder room, inside & out
Accessible from the deck and from inside. The single detail that stops a pool party tracking through your house.
Storage room
Pool chemicals, mowers, cushions, the inflatable flamingo. Built in from the start rather than bolted on later.
How it runs
Five stages, and you always know which one you're in.
First conversation
You tell us what you want to build and roughly what you want to spend. We tell you honestly whether those two things are in the same postcode. If they are not, you have lost an hour instead of six months.
Design & selections
Plans developed with you, then the selections process — fixtures, finishes, tapware, tiles. You do this in your own portal, in your own time, with everything recorded. No more decisions made in a hurry on a job site.
Fixed-price contract
A QBCC building contract with a real number and a real programme. Every inclusion listed. Provisional sums kept to a minimum and explained where they exist, because a provisional sum is just a decision you have not made yet.
Build
Chris on site, our own trades, and a schedule you can actually plan around. You get progress photos and updates through the portal, so you know where the job is without having to drive past it.
Handover & after
A proper walkthrough, every manual and warranty in one place, and a defects period during which we answer the phone. Then we stay reachable, because we live here and we would like to build for your family again.
Your client portal
Your build, in one place
Selections, progress photos, your schedule, variations, invoices and every document signed along the way — all in one place, on your phone, available at 9pm when you finally get a minute to think about tiles.
Make your selections online
Tapware, tiles, benchtops, flooring. Browse the options, choose in your own time, and see exactly what you have locked in.
Watch the job progress
Site photos and schedule updates as they happen, so you know where the build is without ringing to ask.
Every document in one place
Contract, plans, variations, invoices, warranties. Searchable, and still there in five years.
Approve variations properly
Priced, explained, and approved by you in writing before the work starts.
