Our Story

Holmit Building are a Hobart based building company with almost 20 years’ experience in
the industry.

We aim to develop a harmonious relationship with our clients through open communication and collaborative planning. We make efficient use of materials to maximise quality and minimise cost. Our ultimate focus is on producing a quality finish both owner and builder can take pride in.

Born out of a love for carpentry, the story of Holmit Building is one as family-oriented as it is client-focussed. After returning from an extended break from the construction industry, the owner Jonathon Dobson created Holmit Building in 2013. The name lends itself to the importance of family, as it comes from the names of his children – Holly and Mitchell. Jonathon has used his expertise and leadership to develop the skill sets of his employees, all whilst continuing to produce high quality building work and growing the company. Holmit Building are a versatile and proficient building company and the right choice for you and your project

Our Services

  • By providing a collaborative and client-centred approach, we ensure your dream home is built exactly the way you want. From the planning stage through to handover, we’ll be alongside you every step of the way to make sure that your vision becomes a reality.

    With an understanding of the individual needs of clients, we recognise that every home is different. This means that we put in the extra effort to distinguish the little things that make your home yours.

    With a focus on producing a high quality finish both our team and our clients can take pride in, we are the ideal choice to build your dream home.

  • We work alongside your chosen architects to produce the desired outcome for your commercial project. With a detailed understanding of project management and a skilled construction team, we are well positioned to co-ordinate resources and trades to ensure your project is completed on-time and to a high quality finish.

    With these kinds of projects there are always several moving parts, and it is often difficult to find builders who are capable of performing the juggling act that is commercial project management. But with their adaptability, prioritisation, problem-solving, and organisational skills at hand, our experienced project managers find themselves thriving in such environments.

  • Whether you want to reinvigorate your old home with a new renovation, or add on to your existing home to increase your floor space or even add another level, we have the expertise and the skill to make your vision a reality.

    With a strong focus on communication, we work alongside the client to ensure their desired result becomes the end product. Our experienced project managers and skilled carpenters work together seamlessly to deliver your ideal finish on or ahead of schedule.

    It is often important with these kinds of projects to prevent new additions from appearing segmented from existing dwellings.

    We recognise this challenge and devote a strong focus to matching elements of the old with the new, in order to produce a unified and high quality end product.

  • Whether you need a deck built to entertain family and friends, a shed constructed to store your tools and vehicles, a driveway formed and poured, or anything else built on or around your property – we have the experience and skill required to see your ideas come to fruition.

    We have built countless decks of varying sizes and materials including softwood timbers like treated pine, hardwood timbers such as jarrah, blackbutt, merbau, spotted gum, and Victorian ash, recycled composite products like Modwood and Ekodeck, and premium fibre cement products such as HardieDeck – for which we are the James Hardie preferred installer for Southern Tasmania.

    We have constructed sheds as small as 6m2 and as big as 600m2, often including additional features like roller doors, personal access doors, external cladding, internal lining, and mezzanine levels.

    The variety and depth of experience across all members of our building team means our company is able to display a versatile skill set and take on all types of projects.
