Our Founders, Tony + Deb

Rustic Touch was founded by Antony and Debra Turner, who have been designing and building homes across the Central Coast and Hunter Region since 1986.

Both bring over 40 years of experience in the building and design industry. Debra continues to work with Rustic Touch and is known for her expertise in GreenSmart design, solar passive principles, building biology and Feng Shui, creating homes that are healthy, balanced and harmonious.

Antony is a highly experienced licensed builder and building designer, whose practical knowledge of construction, materials and building systems has shaped many of Rustic Touch’s homes over the years. While no longer involved in the day-to-day business, he continues to consult with Rustic Touch, sharing his decades of experience.

 

The Rustic Difference

Our seamless design and build process provides a single source for your entire build journey. We ensure an efficient, economical build with designers, engineers and builders working as one harmonious team.

Experts Working Together

At Rustic, our design and construction team work together on each home design.

Our designer, interior designer, engineer and builders collaborate to create economical solutions that don’t compromise the style or functionality of the home.

This unique approach allows us to create architecturally designed homes at an accessible and affordable price compared to the traditional architectural model.

Curated + Custom Designs

With Rustic, you can choose from a range of meticulously crafted home designs or work with our design team to create a bespoke design tailored to your unique requirements.

Our expert multi-disciplinary team consider floorplan, architectural features, interiors, materials and construction costs and design specifically to your budget.

Holistic Design + Build Solution

Our streamlined approach saves you time and cost while providing one dedicated team for every aspect of your project. The construction costs are a key consideration throughout the design process for peace of mind, efficiency and certainty.

Transparent Pricing

For our pre-designed homes, inclusions and costs are finalised before you commit to building your home.

There are no hidden or additional costs due to design revisions once your contract is signed. View our full range of home designs, inclusions and upgrades with prices by using our home estimator.

Our healthier clients

Design meets practicality

We approached Rustic Touch to help finalise the design for our new home. Their experience in both design layout and building practicality was able to deliver great solutions while keeping costs under control. They finished the project on time and our first view of the finished home was a huge relief and pleasure. Rustic Touch has been a pleasure to work with and would be our choice for another build.

Part of the family

It has been an absolute pleasure to build our new home with Rustic Touch. They are friendly professionals to work with and the quality of build is to the highest standard. From design, picking fixtures & communication, we have enjoyed the whole process of our first build. We now feel like part of the Rustic family. Rustic Touch is a pleasure to work with. The home is perfect & everything we have dreamed it would be.

Just wanted to drop you a quick note to tell you how grateful we are for the job Rustic Touch did on our renovation at Forresters Beach. We have undertaken renovations in the past and can honestly say the professionalism and creativity you both provided was second to none. The job was delivered ahead of schedule and on budget.

Smooth process

We had a fantastic experience working with Rustic Touch.
From start to finish, the entire process was smooth and professional, they are very approachable and we were always informed and involved in making decisions. Their tam of tradesmen are highly skilled and friendly and clearly took great pride in their work – every detail was completed to a high standard.
 
Even after the job was completed, they were quick to respond to any questions or minor adjustments we needed. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Rustic Touch.
We are absolutely thrilled with the results.

Skilled and adaptable

Rustic Touch have completed two projects for me, and in each case, what stood out was their ability to work with neighbours, contractors and me to solve design and building issues that came up as the building progressed.

The team worked with attention to detail, was happy to take on challenges and re-used materials expertly where possible. Their approach to every aspect of the builds was professional and carried out by skilled tradespeople. I have no hesitation in recommending their services.
