A legacy of luxury

Established as a family business in 1986, under the name R.H.Gillard & Sons Pty Ltd by the founding father Ron Gillard Snr. who was the recipient of the Pride of Workmanship Award. He quickly built the company a reputation for building quality custom luxury homes and boutique units for some of Sydney’s elite, the companies client list included names such as Maggi Eckardt, Australia’s first model to conquer the elite world of haute couture fashion, and Trevor Kennardy, businessman, collector of Australian history treasures, and company director.

After serving his apprenticeship under the meticulous guidance of his father, Ron Gillard Jnr. took the years of experience spent with his fathers dedication to detailed construction into other building industries. Moving from site management to project management, Ron found himself running large scale commercial and refurbishment projects. It wasn’t until he was asked to build a $9 million new custom luxury home he realised where his true passion remained.

In 2016, Ron made the decision to return to residential projects, building and extending homes ranging from $1million to $10million since 1993. Ron was determined to re-establish and maintain the company started by his farther R.H. Gillard & Son’s Pty Ltd, the company now trades as Luxury Homes Byron & Co.

With over 25 years of hands-on and management experience, innovation, strength, and stability behind Byron& Co. and honouring to continue the tradition of R.H. Gillard & Sons, Byron & Co. will provide an exceptional building experience every step of the way.

R.H. Gillard & Sons committed themselves to take the memorable skills and knowledge, which they learned from Ron Gillard Sr. and the project management  commercial construction, to contribute to the Australian building industry in a variety of areas.
