About OTJ Building

OTJ Building is a licensed Northern Tasmanian builder delivering new homes, custom builds and renovations, with certified Passive House expertise behind every project. Whether it’s your first home or a one-off architectural build, you get the same thing from us: a clear price, a straight process, and a home built properly.

One point of contact, start to finish

You deal with Oscar, the licensed builder, from the first estimate and quote right through to handover and beyond into maintenance. You won’t be handed between a salesperson, a project manager and a call centre. The person who prices your job is the person who builds it, and the one you call if anything needs attention afterwards.

Detailed, fixed-price quotes

Our quotes are itemised and fixed-price, so you know exactly what you’re getting for your money before you sign. No vague allowances, no guessing, and no nasty surprises halfway through.

A proven variation process

Changes happen on every build. When they do, we document them, price them and get your approval in writing before any work goes ahead. Combined with our monthly client walk-throughs on site, you always know where your build and your budget stand.

Built by qualified tradespeople

Every part of your home is built by qualified, experienced tradespeople we know and trust, not whoever happens to be available that week.

Protected by Master Builders contracts

We use Master Builders Tasmania contracts, giving you an industry-standard agreement that clearly sets out the rights and responsibilities of both parties.

What Clients Say

“We recently completed renovations with Oscar and the OTJ Building team and were impressed with their service and attention to detail. Oscar managed all the trades efficiently and even came to the house after hours when we had a leak to help problem solve and get it fixed. Oscar is passionate about building high quality homes and is really approachable, even with our young kids around he managed to keep the work up and make them laugh! I would work with Oscar again.”
