Our story
A considered approach.
An uncompromising standard.
We believe the best homes are the result of a close partnership: talented people, thoughtful decisions and a shared commitment to doing things beautifully.
Led by Rowan Ellis
Personal from
the very beginning.
Founded in 2008, Ridge & Frame Builders has grown from a small carpentry practice into a boutique residential building company with a simple philosophy: take pride in the work, honour the design and look after the people who place their trust in you.
Today, Rowan leads a close-knit team of craftspeople, project specialists and client advisers. The approach combines the personal attention of a boutique builder with the discipline and organisation of a highly experienced construction team.
We choose to take on a considered number of homes each year. That gives every project the attention it deserves, from early design conversations to the smallest finishing detail.
Meet the people behind the workOur philosophy
Quality is a thousand
small decisions.
The right material. The exact alignment. The conversation before a choice is made. We believe exceptional building is the sum of thoughtful decisions, made well, every day.
What guides us
Care in the craft.
We respect the materials we work with and the homes we create. Our standard is found in the details you see and the workmanship you don’t.
Clarity in the process.
Good communication creates confidence. You will know what is happening, what comes next and who to speak to along the way.
Pride in the result.
We want every home to feel right for the people who live in it. Beautiful, functional and built to be enjoyed for years to come.
