Healthier Building
ABOUT Billington Projects
At Billington Projects, founder and director Jesse Billington brings almost 30 years of experience in constructing high-end, architecturally designed homes.
Jesse’s approach to healthier building blends mindful minimalism, aesthetics, and what he calls ‘common sense building’—smart, passive design principles that work with nature.
When Jesse’s 7-year-old daughter fell severely ill due to mould exposure, his passion for building evolved.
Determined to understand how homes affect health, Jesse dove deep into building biology and trained with leading experts in mould prevention and healthier homes.
This journey deepened his dedication to the healthier building movement that is transforming the Australian construction industry.
Billington Projects was formerly BILT building co.
New name, same purpose
In the Northern Rivers, where
mould-related illnesses are common, the need for healthy, durable, affordable homes has never been greater.
However, Jesse has recognized there’s a common misconception that building a healthy, sustainable home comes with a massive price tag.
Jesse knows firsthand that it doesn’t have to.
Through the process of building his own family home and several for his clients,
he has mastered the art of balancing cost, comfort, and sustainability
—proving that healthier building doesn’t have to be out of reach.
At Billington Projects, healthier building isn’t just what we do—it’s how we do things.
Every project we take on, from renovations to new builds, is designed to support your well-being, giving families a home that’s
healthier, more sustainable, and built to last.

“I had the pleasure of working with Jesse from Billington Projects on renovating two of my properties. From the initial consultation to the final walk-through, Jesse's level of professionalism, attention to detail and willingness to work collaboratively with me made the entire process seamless and stress-free.
Jesse's ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously while still delivering on time and within budget is truly impressive.
He kept me informed every step of the way and always made sure to address any concerns or questions I had promptly.
What really stood out to me was Jesse's exceptional workmanship. His eye for detail and commitment to quality ensured that my properties were transformed into stunning spaces that exceeded my expectations.
Overall, I can't recommend Billington Projects & Jesse enough. If you're looking for a reliable, skilled, and professional project manager who will deliver exceptional results, look no further.
Thank you, Jesse, for your fantastic work on my properties. I couldn't be happier with the result!”

"I first came to know about Jesse from my best friends in Sydney, Dani and Annalee. I was impressed with their new house & they gave a lot of credit to their builder.
Over the last 25 years, I have built a few houses in different countries, and I know how difficult it is to find a great builder. When the time came to renovate and add to my home in Main Arm, I reached out to Jesse. I have nothing but gratitude for the great work he did.
Not only his abilities and skills as a professional, which are at the highest level, Jesse is a beautiful human being to work with. He is patient, honest, open, humble, attentive, creative, and operates with impeccable integrity in words and in actions. I am delighted with the outcome and completely satisfied with the quality, timing of delivery, cost and value for money.
Jesse’s communication with my architect was a seamless co-creative collaboration, they seemed to have great understanding and respect for each other. This made everything peaceful and easy for me and for the project. It was always a joy to meet Jesse on the site, but more so, it was also always a joy to work with his entire team. Everyone without exception was hard working with precision, dedication, and good spirit. It is obvious that Jesse is a great leader who his crew appreciates and respects.
As I write this testimonial, my only concern is that Jesse is going to get so busy he will not be available to build my next project next year. I can’t imagine having any other builder."

“Jesse Billington was a pivotal figure in the smooth running of the recent refurbishment of our home. He was conscientious, met deadlines, was easy to communicate with and most importantly highly skilled.
He took the care and attention to build our home as if it were his own and we would highly recommend him to others and wouldn’t hesitate to use him again.”
_ Fraser & Katina Turvey, Client
“After meeting with many builders and building companies we decided to work with Jesse to renovate and construct our new 5-bedroom house.
The entire process was professionally managed by Jesse and his team. The quality of the build by far exceeded our expectations. His attention to detail and workmanship are exceptional. The budget was managed well and he runs a very clean, safe site, managing subcontractors and staff with the utmost respect.
It was a pleasure to work with an open-minded, professional and honest builder who creatively solves challenges, communicates and keeps everything very clear throughout the process. We have nothing but gratitude towards Jesse and his company.
I would not hesitate to recommend Jesse to anyone who is looking for quality build and professional execution. There are not many companies that can deliver to this standard, keep it all moving on time, and make it an enjoyable process as well.”
