Residential · Scope

Granny flats. Duplexes.
Luxury homes. Renovations.

Whatever the residential scope, we bring the same standard. From a secondary dwelling at the back of a Sydney block to a full luxury new build. We've done it, and we're doing it now.

02.
Contracts · Design & Construct or Builder Only

Your designer or ours.
We work both ways.

We offer design and construct contracts where we take you from concept drawings, through CDC or DA approval, all the way to handover. One point of contact, one contract, no gaps.

Already have your own architect or designer?
We work as builder only. We plug into your team, manage the construction, and deliver to your plans.

Delivery · Full Scope

No handoffs.
We run the whole build.

From footings and frame through to joinery, tiling, painting, and fixtures. We project manage the full scope on site. We don't disappear after the structure is up.

01
— Brief, site, scope

Initial Consultation.

We visit your site, understand what you're trying to achieve, confirm what's feasible, and walk you through which contract type suits your situation.

02
— Drawings, CDC or DA

Design & Approvals.

For design & construct clients, we prepare concept drawings and manage your DA or CDC approval from start to finish. If you have your own architect, we review their plans and get construction-ready.

03
— Contract, schedule, procurement

Pre-Construction.

Scope is locked, contract signed, materials ordered, and a realistic construction program is set. No surprises once we're on site.

04
— Footings, slab, frame

Structure Stage.

Footings, slab, and frame are completed to engineer-certified specifications. Every structural element is inspected before we move forward.

05
— Plumbing, electrical, mechanical

Services Rough-In.

All plumbing, electrical, and mechanical services are installed and positioned correctly before walls close up.

06
— Joinery, tiling, painting, fixtures

Finishes Stage.

The build transforms into its final form. Custom joinery, tiling, painting, cabinetry, fixtures, and fittings are all installed to spec.

07
— Plumbing, electrical, final connections

Services Fit-off.

Plumbing fixtures, electrical fit-off, and all final service connections are completed and tested. This includes tapware, basins, power points, switches, lighting, and any mechanical connections. Everything that goes in after the finishes are done.

08
— Defects, quality checks, landscaping

Final Touches & Inspections.

We complete a full defects review, address any outstanding items, and carry out final quality checks throughout the build. Silicone, sealants, and all fine detail work are finished off. External works including landscaping, driveways, and site clean-up are completed. All inspections are signed off before we move to handover.

09
— Inspections, certifications, keys

Handover.

Final inspections, occupation certificate, and a full handover. We walk you through the completed build and hand over the keys.

What clients say
"Working with Josh and the Devali team was amazing. They delivered our café fit-out a week ahead of schedule in just 4 weeks, with experienced, trustworthy trades who took real pride in their work. The team was organised, presentable, and easy to deal with from start to finish, the final result speaks for itself."

"The Devali team were outstanding from day one. They managed full night works to keep us operating, delivered everything with precision, and even supplied all the appliances, which is rare for a fit-out contractor. Their organisation, communication, and attention to detail made the whole process smooth and stress free."

About · Devali

Two brothers. One obsession.

We started as builder's labourers and worked our way through leading hands, site supervisors, foremen and project managers, before launching Devali.

A year delivering duplexes and renovations across Sydney. Then a café fit-out for Créma-Lane in Surry Hills shifted the entire direction of the business. Fast timelines, refined detail & operational thinking. Commercial fit-outs is our real lane.
