Our story

Building in Newcastle since 2006

Cedar & Stone Homes began with founder James Okafor, a carpenter who believed building should feel calmer and more honest than the industry's reputation suggested. Two decades on, we're a tight family-run team that has delivered more than 140 homes across Newcastle and the Hunter.

We've stayed deliberately small so the people you meet at your first consultation are the same people on site. We favour natural materials that age well, fixed-price quotes you can trust, and a build process that keeps you informed every single week.
