Design that fits your home, your style, your life.

Every bathroom and kitchen we build starts with design. Not a catalogue, not a template. A space tailored to how you actually live.

01 - Discovery We meet on site to understand the space, your lifestyle, your style, and the quality level you want. We check fit, access, and long-term goals before we go further.

02 - Design Consultation This is where we get into the detail. Stone (engineered, porcelain, natural), joinery style (shaker, fingerless, handleless), layouts that actually work in the space, flooring, lighting, hardware, tapware. Whether you come to us with a clear design in mind or want us to design it around you, we tailor it to one of three quality tiers: Quality, Elevated, or Bespoke.

03 - Proposal & Costings A full walkthrough of every selection and finish. No vague allowances, no surprises mid build.

04 - Shop Drawings & Final Design Detailed documentation: joinery setouts, tile layouts, plumbing and electrical positions. The blueprint your trades build from.

05 - Build One team executes the design from demolition through to final clean. Project managed by us, delivered by trades we trust, handed over on time.

06 - Handover & Support We walk you through the finished space, hand over warranties and care guides, and stay on call. Defects period managed properly, and a team you can still reach long after the job is done.

The Experience, In Their Words

Brad Smith

Great builder who communicated every step of the way. Received regular updates and felt we could trust Dan and the team with our plans. Highly recomend.

Neusha Dicembre

Danial, where do I begin. We engaged Danial for our granny flat construction. From the first moment, to the last detail, he has been nothing but professional, communicative and caring. The best decision we made is to engage Danial. Can’t wait to start planning our next build with Danial!

Amir Zonoozi

Having dealt with many builders in the past, I can vouch for Shafbuild's attention to detail, constant reassurance through effective communication and transparency, as well as delivering on promises. Their professionalism didn't make me doubt the project's timeline throughout the process and the deliverables were outstanding. I highly recommend Shafbuild to anyone who is looking for high end and quality build, whether it's from scratch or any renovations.

Emily Smith

The entire Shafbuild team were fantastic to work with. Their attention to detail was exceptional, and they provided daily updates throughout the entire project, which gave us complete peace of mind. The quality of work and communication went beyond our expectations - we’d hire them again without hesitation.

The questions we get asked most

How much does a kitchen or bathroom renovation cost in Sydney?

Honestly, it depends. Cost is driven by scope, finish level, structural changes, and the size of the room. A small bathroom refresh and a full architectural kitchen sit at very different ends of the range. We'll walk through your project and give you a clear, itemised quote, no surprises and no pressure.

How long does a renovation take?

A standalone kitchen or bathroom typically runs 4-6 weeks on site, plus a few weeks of design and selections beforehand. Larger projects and whole home renovations take 8-12 weeks and vary based on scope. We give you a realistic program upfront and keep you updated weekly.

Do I need my own designer, or do you handle the design?

We handle it. Most clients work directly with us through the design phase. If you've already engaged a designer or architect, we work happily alongside them. Either way, you stay involved in every key decision.

Can we keep living in the house during the renovation?

In most cases, yes. It comes down to scope, the amenities you've got available, and what you're comfortable living around. We work in and around the family routine, manage dust and noise carefully, and protect the parts of your home we're not touching. For larger renovations, we'll plan around what's safe & makes sense for you.

Do you handle approvals?

Most kitchen and bathroom renovations don't need council approval. Larger works that involve structural changes or extensions sometimes do, and we manage that process when it's required. For renovations in apartments, we handle the strata application and approvals on your behalf. Either way, you stay informed without having to navigate the paperwork yourself.

What happens after the project is finished?

We don't disappear after handover. Every project is backed by 13+ years of building experience, statutory warranties, and our own guarantee. We take pride in work that holds up for the long term.

What makes working with us different.

The reasons clients keep referring us to their friends.

Fully managed, start to finish. One team, one program, every trade and detail handled.
Communication you don't have to chase. Weekly updates, fast responses, a builder who picks up the phone.
We work in and around your family. Dust managed, noise managed, your home protected throughout.

Efficient programs that respect your time. Realistic timelines, kept on track, no mystery delays.
Quality that holds up. Built to look as good five years on as it did at handover.
A team that listens. To everyone in the household, not just the loudest voice.

Designed around you and your family.

We design around you. Your home, your family, the way you actually live in it.

Founder & Director

Danial Shafei

I started Shafbuild to give Sydney homeowners a builder they can genuinely trust. Every kitchen, bathroom, and renovation we take on is personally led by me, from the first conversation through to handover.

If you want a renovation done properly, by someone who's across every detail, you're in the right place.
