Home builder with a difference - Designing & building your dream home

Kurmond Homes is a local Sydney new home builder established in 1994 with a vision to design and build new homes of quality and excellence.

The home builder business was started by two brothers, Peter and Michael Kulakovski, both raised and living in the Hawkesbury area. Peter started out as a frame carpenter and Michael as a joiner carpenter so both have many years of home building experience.
