From luxury homes in Sydney’s most prestigious suburbs to expansive estates in the Southern Highlands, Lifestyle Building and Design has built a reputation for craftsmanship, client service, and forward-thinking project management. With a strong team of 25–40 employees and a growing focus on integrating artificial intelligence (AI), the company is preparing for the next chapter of growth—one defined by fewer, larger-value projects and greater efficiency. BUILDING FROM THE GROUND UP Parkes’ passion for building began early. At just 14, he discovered his aptitude for construction, quickly realizing that the combination of hands-on skill and creative problem-solving was his calling. By his mid20s, he took the leap and launched his own company, setting the stage for what would become Lifestyle Building and Design. “I knew from an early age that building was something I not only enjoyed but excelled at,” Parkes recalls. “When the opportunity came to start my own business, I wanted to build a company where craftsmanship, client care, and team culture were at the center.” From its foundation, the business specialized in high-end residential projects. Over the years, Parkes carefully cultivated a team of dedicated professionals, some of whom have been with the company for more than 14 years. Six years ago, he brought on business partner George, allowing him to focus more on business development and company culture while maintaining strong oversight of project delivery. A FOCUS ON PRESTIGIOUS PROJECTS Lifestyle Building and Design has concentrated its work on select postcodes known for luxury homes, including the Sutherland Shire, Sydney’s eastern suburbs, and the Southern Highlands. The company has also extended its reach to the Snowy Mountains and the South Coast of New South Wales, reflecting its versatility and reputation for handling challenging projects in diverse locations. Among its portfolio, two projects stand out: a $20 million residence in Barony Bay, showcasing exquisite architectural detail and craftsmanship and a $10 million project in the Southern Highlands, reflecting the company’s ability to deliver complex, large-scale builds in regional settings. Currently, the company is working on its largest project to date, set for completion at the end of next year. With meticulous attention to detail, it promises to be a defining example of Lifestyle Building and Design’s capabilities.
