At FIRACU, everything we do is guided by three core principles:

CRAFTSMANSHIP ABOVE ALL

Every detail matters, from structure to finish.

COLLABORATION, NOT JUST CONSTRUCTION

We work hand-in-hand with architects and designers to bring ambitious visions to life.

TRANSPARENCY & TRUST

Open communication and reliable execution are the foundation of every project.

These principles shape how we build, how we communicate, and how we deliver homes that clients can trust.

CLIFFORD AVENUE

Michael Edwards and his team renovated my apartment, which included a full demolition. They delivered everything on time and on budget - when does that ever happen? The quality of the work was excellent, and the whole team was a pleasure to deal with. They were also considerate of my neighbours and the common areas, especially during the demolition phase. What stood out most for me was how responsive and communicative they were throughout the process, which made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. I couldn’t recommend them more highly.
BALMAIN

We recently completed a knock down and rebuild with FIRACU, and we couldn’t be happier with the result. From the start, Mike and his team were engaged through the design development stage, helping us with cost engineering to make sure we stayed on budget without compromising on quality.
The build itself was finished two months ahead of schedule and on budget, which is remarkable. Working on a tight terrace block required careful planning and coordination, and FIRACU delivered flawlessly. Their attention to detail was clear at every stage.
The project managers kept us informed with daily site reports and excellent communication, which gave us complete confidence in the process. The entire team was professional, approachable, and genuinely a pleasure to deal with.
We highly recommend FIRACU and will not hesitate to use them again on future projects.
BOWER ST

Michael Edwards, renovated my Manly unit and delivered on time and on budget. He worked seamlessly with our strata, kept communications clear throughout, and maintained high-quality finishes with real attention to detail. Any snags were handled promptly and without fuss, and variations were resolved quickly and amicably. His teamwork with trades, myself the owner, and the independent designer was excellent, with regular on-site meetings helping to resolve the inevitable renovation details swiftly. I would recommend Michael without hesitation.
