ABOUT US
About Jamieson Edwards Builders
The Story of Jamieson Edwards
Founded by good mates Ed Jamieson and Tim Edwards, Jamieson Edwards was born from a shared passion for craftsmanship.
Ed’s love of building began on site with his dad, where he discovered the creativity, precision, and problem-solving that construction demands. For Tim, the journey started even earlier, learning the art of craftsmanship from his grandfather, a skilled boat builder who passed down his knowledge and values.
Ed and Tim first crossed paths on the tools during their carpentry apprenticeships, where they built both their skills and their friendship. That ethos ‘If you’re going to do something, do it properly’ remains as the foundation for our company today. With honest, down-to-earth communication and no shortcuts, our team sets a higher standard in building.
We’re proud to be Tasmania’s benchmark for high-performance homes, mentoring the next generation and creating healthier, more durable homes for local families.

Our process
The Performance Pathway, How We Build Better
Discovery
Every project starts with a conversation, not about floorplans, but about how you want to live. We focus on what truly matters to you, making sure your investment and vision are aligned from the very beginning. This first step is about more than design; it’s about confirming we’re the right fit to create a home that reflects your lifestyle and values.
Collaboration
This is where true performance takes shape. In close partnership with your architect, we test and refine the concept through the lens of building science, shaping a smarter design that delivers maximum value. Through a detailed feasibility assessment, we de-risk the project, eliminate costly surprises, and give you confidence in your investment from day one.
Planning
Once approvals are in place, we lay out the road ahead in simple, clear steps. You’ll know exactly what’s coming and when, with all key decisions made well in advance. This means no last-minute rushes or overwhelm, just a smooth and predictable journey that keeps you fully in the loop.

Handover
When we hand over your home, it’s more than just the keys. We’ll walk you through how everything works, giving you the knowledge and confidence to enjoy a healthier, more comfortable, and energy-efficient home from day one.
The Annual Performance Review
Our commitment doesn’t end at handover. About a year after you’ve moved in, we return to check how everything has settled and make sure your home is performing as it should. It’s our way of protecting your investment and giving you long-term peace of mind, long after the build is complete.
Testimonials
The Lived Experience of Performance
Hear from our clients
Built With Commitment In A Remote Location
Tim and Ed were the perfect match for my off-grid house build in the central highlands. The remoteness of the location and the occasional challenges of weather needed builders who were agile, flexible, committed to the project and sympathetic to the design. As it was not practical for me to be on site for much of the time, Ed also took on the role of project management, a task which he did seamlessly and with skill.
Tim and Ed, and many subbies, were happy to bunk down in the shed, which helped to maximise productivity and accelerate the timeline. they promised lock-up by Christmas which they achieved and the quality of their work was excellent.
What I like most about Ed and Tim is their attitude and work ethic. they are top guys. their music taste on site was, at time, questionable, and their jokes need honing, but that will come with age….Get them on board, you won’t have any regrets.

Performance Delivered With Care And Precision
My partner and I would highly recommend Jamieson Edwards Builders to anyone looking at building a new home – not only for their exceptional craftsmanship but also for their friendly can-do attitudes.
From the very start of our project Tim & Ed were exceptionally easy to communicate with, always replying and responding in a very efficient friendly manner – no task was ever too much to ask!
They were very knowledgeable in all aspects of the building process which made the whole experience stress free and seamless. They also built our home on time and within our allocated budget!!! We can not thank all the boys at Jamieson Edwards enough for building us our dream home.

High End Renovation Delivered With Calm Expertise
When we decided to undertake a significant renovation of our 100 year West Hobart home, Jamieson Edwards were strongly recommended to us. We are very glad we engaged them for our project – it has been an absolute pleasure working with Ed, Tim and their team.
Right from our first meeting, their professionalism, considered ideas and suggestions, creative thinking and significant expertise really shone through. We wanted a high end finish and we have achieved this, thanks to JE’s outstanding level of craftsmanship across all aspects of our renovation.
We have been incredibly impressed during all our interactions. We really appreciated the clear, detailed and prompt communication right throughout the project period. Our project budget was maintained, and the renovation work’s timeline was also achieved – not an easy feat, given some of the challenges our city home’s location presented!
We also really appreciated the calm, positive and thoughtful way Ed, Tim and the JE team approached the project, tackling issues as they presented with absolute professionalism and a consistent focus on achieving the highest quality outcome for us.
The team’s commitment to ensuring their clients are satisfied is really evident, and that made our dealings so enjoyable.
Our sincere thanks to Jamieson Edwards for delivering a truly outstanding result – our home has been transformed, and we can’t wait to embark on stage 2 works with the JE team very soon.

Renovation Made Easy With Clear Communication
Jamieson Edwards (JE) were recommended to us for a renovation on our 50s house in Mount Nelson. It was a great decision and we immediately felt that we had made the right choice. Ed and Tim emphasised in the first meeting that client communication was a key feature of their business model. This was evident throughout the project. We always felt informed of project progress, management of subcontractors, what other work they had on, timing of various phases etc. This gave us a lot of confidence as the build progressed and allowed us to keep track of expenditure.
As far as design is concerned Ed and Tim were very creative in their ideas, practical in the execution of the work and were clearly dedicated to getting a high quality finish. Like many projects on older houses, there is sometimes a need to review designs and discuss options. All of these meetings were client focussed and made the whole process much easier than we have experienced in the past. The entire JE team are very easy to work with and client focussed. Their selection and management of subcontractors was also a standout. Every person who came on site shared the same passion for quality and client service. From electrical to plumbing, all trades were well planned and communication was excellent.
At the completion of each phase of work, the site was left in excellent condition. We even had comments from our neighbours about how easy it was to have the team on site from their perspective.
If we were to undertake another renovation we would engage Ed and Tim again without hesitation. We are delighted with the outcome.
