About Build Up

Specialist recruitment, built on reputation.

We set up Build Up because the industry didn't need another generalist agency. It needed one recruiter who actually knew high-end residential, and who would tell the truth whether or not it closed a fee.

Ross Breen

Director, High-End Residential Specialist, Sydney

Helping Sydney's best architectural home builders find top talent.

Fifteen years in recruitment, with the last ten focused entirely on Sydney's high-end residential construction space. In 2022, I launched Build Up Recruitment with a single goal: to bring a more honest, practical and personal approach to hiring in this corner of the industry.

I work with a deliberately small network of quality builders, and place every role that matters on a premium Sydney build. Carpenters, Leading Hands, foremen, site managers, contracts administrators, estimators, project managers and construction managers. No interstate generalism. No CV spray-and-pray. No fluff.

Two-time Award Winner
Best Construction Agency NSW, 2024 & 2025

I've got a genuine passion for residential architecture and love helping people find roles and teams that actually fit. Based in Sydney. Placing candidates NSW wide. And yes, I answer my own phone.
