client experiences
Hamish and Craig were highly recommended by several contacts, both from within the building industry and others they have worked for and after meeting with them to get their thoughts on our build we were immediately impressed by their open and honest natures and obvious strong work ethics. During the build itself the boys kept us very well informed of progress as well as any issues that arose. They also made recommendations of changes that they believed would add more value and increase the liveability of the house. It soon became very clear that with their expertise we should follow their recommendations and everything that they suggested turned out to be exactly the right move. Hamish & Craig also project managed our build for us. We are very thankful that we had their direction and input to add to the vision we had for the house which has resulted in a home that we absolutely love and clearly has been built to a very high standard. We have had a consistent stream of positive feedback however most pertinent being the comments from our valuer who was very, very impressed with the quality and level of detail that the house had been finished to. He said it was very obvious that the house had been built to a high standard by builders who clearly cared about their workmanship and about delivering a house that they could be proud of. We were very impressed by the diligence, can-do attitude and level of engagement shown by Hamish and Craig and we would highly recommend them to anyone who is contemplating a new build or renovations. Thanks Lads for delivering us such a beautiful home.”
