Installation of gas log fire - during build of new house. Installed firebox when needed by builder, who then encased it in a wall. Came back with 2 days of telephone call to install the rest (some months later) - cost was reasonable and competitive. Excellent work performed, I have enjoyed a very nice warm winter.

Approximate cost: $500

Salesman in showroom most helpful in selecting color of our glass splashback for kitchen install. Thankfully I took color samples provided by Builder to match it to kitchen colorings. Very happy with end product - a feature of my kitchen.

Approximate cost: $1200

Built entire new home with this Builder. Ecstatic with end result - recommend them as everything is decided before you sign - floorplan, extras, tiles, carpet, taps, design changes, paint colors. Quality build with great after sales service. Small maintenance list submitted - trades involved have attended to items professionally and as time allows. From Simon in sales; to all the girls in Admin; to Colin, the in-house draftsman; and last but not least, to Gary and Gilda - A BIG THANKYOU for our finished house!

Approximate cost: $300,000

Lived in home 3 months and asked for adjustment in 3 rooms - came within a week and redid the rooms concerned - including new ducting, larger ceiling opening and dampener installation ( no extra cost). Builder happy & Owners very happy with after sales service.

Jill is a wonderful driving instructor who is conscious that parents are as anxious as the learner - teaches both Manual and Auto, and is accredited with keys2life program. Pricing is same as most, but peace of mind is priceless! Sessions can be adapted as you require but usually 45 mins.

Approximate cost: $45

New fence erected between two properties - new house, no previous fence. They were very particular about measurements and position of the fence. Work was performed quickly and in a very professional manner. Good pricing also. Very happy with the work and would recommend to all.

Building a new home you expect the tradesman to be of equal quality in the work done....the Builder's quality of workmanship, as did all the other trades, were above this guy - he did what was necessary only and was slow to return for touch ups - commenting that marks were probably made by us since move-in. Note to painter - if Builder says you are to touch up, you'd better touch up whatever marks or unfinished spots you are told to - the Builder has to be happy with your work or there goes your sub-contract jobs. Its up to the Builder to make the Owners happy, not you! This is a new house and I'm still waiting for the Painter to provide small tins of paint for personal touch ups in the future - lucky we had a great Builder who provided within minutes.
