We're an award-winning home builder still run by the same expert hands that founded it.
Pride & Passion was founded by Darren Hall in 2013, after a career that began on the tools and never really left them.
Darren came up through carpentry, found his footing on some of Sydney's most demanding sites, and spent years running complex builds before he ever put his own name above the door. He knows what it takes because he has done every part of it himself. MBA Excellence in Housing Award winner. Featured in Grand Designs Australia and The Local Project.
Still on site every single day. Not because he has to be, but because that is where the standard is actually kept and where the difference between good and exceptional is made.
Architectural renovations, extensions, and new homes built with precision and care. Your plans, our hands, and the same standard applied to every detail from the ground up.

We partner with trusted architects and work alongside you from concept. So the design you love is one that can actually be built, within a budget that was real from the beginning.
"Darren from pride and Passion was absolutely amazing throughout the whole process. His attention to detail is evident in every part of the house and couldn't be happier with the result."
"Darren Hall has worked for me across various projects, and I have found him to be a most impressive person with the most impressive work ethic I have witnessed — working tirelessly in pursuit of client happiness while never compromising on quality. He demands the highest standards from his staff, subcontractors, and himself, and his attributes go beyond being a good builder to being a good person. His business name, Pride and Passion, speaks volumes."
"We contracted Darren Hall and his team at Pride and Passion for a major renovation of our 1920s Californian bungalow, and we will be forever grateful for the recommendation — they were nothing short of amazing. Communication was first class, the quality and attention to detail were superb, and Darren's ability to see solutions rather than problems made even the most challenging moments stress-free. Any family that gets a Pride and Passion build in the future are lucky indeed."
"Pride and Passion built our beautiful award-winning home, and four years on it has truly stood the test of time. Darren's pride and passion are real — he treats every detail as if it were his own home, sets the bar high, and has never disappointed us with his prompt and genuine after-sales service. We have a great ongoing respect for Darren, and feel fortunate to have found him."
"We recently completed an extensive renovation of our Randwick home with Darren Hall of Pride and Passion, and we could not be more delighted with the outcome. Darren's attention to detail was impeccable, his communication was clear and proactive, and he worked seamlessly with our architect and engineer to deliver every element exactly as intended. He was a pleasure to work with, and we would not hesitate to recommend him or work with him again."
Clear and considered, from the very first conversation.
A considered process, clearly communicated from start to finish. We walk alongside our clients at every stage, keeping things simple and transparent. You will always know what is happening, what is next, and that the person responsible is present and accountable throughout the entire build.
