Decks, renovations, extensions & outdoor living — built properly by a trusted local team. Fixed-price quotes, a tidy site.
Ben PhillipsOwner & carpenterA short video on how Takara works, and what you can expect from start to finish.
From a new deck for summer to a full renovation or extension — one trusted local team for the lot, across Newcastle & the Hunter.
Based in Newcastle, working the Hunter and Lake Macquarie. You deal with Ben start to finish — not a call centre — and we arrive when we say we will.
You'll know the full cost before we start. No blow-outs, no scope creep sprung on you halfway through — just an honest, fixed-price quote.
Quality timber and finishes, set out properly, no shortcuts behind the cladding. We build it once, build it right, and back it with a workmanship warranty.
Clean site every day, offcuts and rubbish cleared out. You shouldn't have to live in a mess while we build — except now you've got the deck or reno you wanted.
Takara Construction is owned and run by Ben Phillips — a local Newcastle carpenter and builder. When you ring, you get the person doing the work, and the same person sees it through from the first chat to handover.

Takara Construction is built on doing the job the way it should be done. Here’s the kind of feedback we aim for on every deck, reno and extension across the Hunter.
Ben built our new deck off the back of the house and it's become our favourite spot. He turned up when he said he would, kept the site spotless and the price didn't move from the quote.
We had Takara renovate the front of our home and the finish is exactly what we hoped for. Easy to deal with, no surprises, and you can tell he genuinely cares about the work.
Added an extension and a new pergola — Ben talked us through every step and the carpentry is first class. Tidy, honest and finished properly. Couldn't recommend him more.
