What we build

Pool tiling & coping

Travertine pool coping meeting clear blue water

Travertine, stone and porcelain surrounds. Coping, tiling, headers and drainage finished as one job, so the pool edge reads as a single clean line.

The work speaks

See all work

Six recent projects, photographed as they were handed over.

EXLVN

Built once,built properly.

Big outfits hand your backyard down a chain: a salesperson, a project manager, whoever turns up on the day. EXLVN stays small so nothing gets handed down. The builder who walks your site prices the job, runs the job, and stands on it every day until it is finished properly.

How a job runs

Five steps, no surprises.

Get in touch

Tell us what you are imagining. A drawn-up plan is welcome, but so is a few phone photos and “this backyard could be so much more”. You hear back within two business days.

Walk the site

We stand in the space with you and talk about how you want to live in it: where the morning sun lands, where the long dinners happen, what the pool should feel like in January. Then we measure everything.

One written quote

The whole picture in one document: a clear scope and a fixed price, so you can say yes with certainty. No obligation, nothing buried in fine print.

The build

The part where you watch it turn real. An agreed start date, a tidy site at the end of every day, and straight answers whenever you want them.

Handover

We walk the finished job together before we call it done, and if anything is not right it gets fixed first. Then the first evening out there is yours.

Common questions

All questions
Do you do garden maintenance?
No. EXLVN is construction only: pool surrounds, paving, concreting, timber work and the hard landscaping around them. For mowing and upkeep you want a maintenance crew.
Where do you work?
Most jobs are in the northern beaches, eastern suburbs and north shore. Projects further out are case by case, worth a call either way.
How do quotes work?
Call or send the form, then a site visit, then one written quote. No obligation either way.
