They who hold the
pen tools,
hold the power.
Built In-Kind is a design and fabrication workshop who specialises in custom furniture and joinery commissions, and the design and delivery of educational building programs for women and diverse communities.
Through classes which teach design, tool use and construction skills, we aim to build a community empowered to have greater agency in their built environments, and create a culture of self-sufficiency and resilience.
Whether you would like to commission a custom piece of furniture, are a social service provider wishing to design engagement programs for your clients, or a creative individual who would like to learn to build more and develop your skills – Built In-Kind is excited to work with you and learn together!

Built In-Kind is located on the unceded land of the Awabakal People.
We wish to pay our respects to this spectacular country, and to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, and extend that respect to Elders, past, present and emerging.
We acknowledge that building and construction are tools of colonialism, which continue to inflict violence upon Country, and are used to perpetuate divide between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australia.
We hope to respect country by teaching an ethic of care and consideration when building, to consider who we are building for, why, where and how – so that we do not commit further violence against our precious landscapes and our communities.
