About G.J. Gardner Homes Sydney - North (Brookvale)

Locals at hand

If you are looking to build in the Northern Beaches of Sydney, you need look no further than G.J. Gardner Homes Sydney North. Having lived in the area for most of their lives, and with nearly 30 years of experience within the building industry, husband and wife team Mel and Horst, along with their daughter Daisy certainly know what it takes to make a home.

They successfully bridge the gap between an inflexible and ‘generic’ looking project home and a “million dollar bespoke” rebuild for the Northern Beaches and North Shore market. Their signature Hampton style home has been a definite crowd pleaser, and cements the dynamic duo as having created an achievable ‘niche’ between a project home company providing a standard plan and a bespoke builder. Customers benefit from the national supply deals that the G.J. Gardner brand can bring, as well as the local knowledge and passion for our area in the materials and style we build.

Having grown up in the Northern Beaches, Mel’s passion for the area is one that many share – including Horst who moved to the area almost 30 years ago after the pair met in Austria. The pair love the Northern Beaches lifestyle, and it is there that they chose to raise their two children and build their business. The service that the G.J. Gardner Sydney North team provides is far reaching: from building family homes, generating work for local trades and small businesses and providing regular funding to local sporting teams, community groups and initiatives.

The franchise operates within the Sydney North area and we look after homes to be built in North Sydney, Mosman, Willoughby, Lane Cove, Kuring-gai, Pittwater, Warringah Shire and Manly Council areas. Our trades and staff all live in the North area of Sydney also and therefore the location of our premises in Brookvale is central for all arms of our operation. It is our express mission to become the premier Knock Down Rebuild specialist builders in the ‘Sydney North’ region.

Horst has managed to bring with him, his quality and trusted team of tradespeople across to the G.J. Gardner, model as well as introducing new suppliers and trades to the mix. The current reputation of G.J. Gardner Homes in NSW has given the Sydney North team a great foundation to build upon. The solidly established business is prestigious within the industry, renown for its reliable base of subcontractors, suppliers and experienced team of staff

Daisy Lueckl

Construction Manager

Daisy is the daughter of Melissa and Horst, and has too grown up in a 'building family'. Her background is in fashion, but in 2016 she decided to step into the family business. Since then, she has begun a Masters in Construction Management and has worked tirelessly to provide a premium end-to-end customer service experience for all.

Horst Lueckl

Owner/Builder

Horst Lueckl was born in Austria into a 'building family' and came out to live in Australia in the late 1980s. After his tertiary studies in Graz, Horst was inspired by working on unique and challenging building sites for his brother and father. The high quality methods and training that Horst learned in Europe set him in good stead for continuing his career here on the Northern Beaches.

It was in this unique part of Sydney that he fell in love with the abundance of natural materials used in residential builds, our open plan living styles and our knack of designing homes that encourage easy entertaining with a focus on family friendly house plans.
