Testimonials 

RENOVATION + ADDITION

Sarah is not your typical Builder, she is so much more! She Project Managed and Built our extensive renovation and addition beyond our expectations, at our open house more than 200 people walked through the door, with mouths open wide, gasping at the beautiful spaces we had created.

The fact that she has a large commercial project background served us well due to her knowledge of processes, procedures and pitfalls. She takes the large project approach with every build, no matter how large or small, ticking all the boxes along the way, design development, buildability, materials selection, cost planning, tendering and programming all her trades, building code and development application condition compliance and inspections, from Construction to Occupancy Certificate all the way. Sarah communicated with us throughout the entire build, keeping us involved in the decision making process. Sarah has a passion for building homes that have high thermal performance and energy efficiency, she explained to us the ongoing benefits of upgrading the our specifications to get a more comfortable home. On a blistering hot day you walk inside and it is cool! We love it.

NEW BUILD - Dual Occupancy
“We approached Sarah to build our Dual Occupancy development from scratch, we agreed with her principles and approach to building, that building for better outcomes was the way to go. We could see that the average investment property being built was a result of poor design and construction ending in an inferior product, for both the investor and the tenants who would live in it. Sarah’s network includes experienced Architects and Engineers who with her guidance designed the houses with solar passive principles, so that the house works for you in terms of thermal performance not against you and your running cost budget.
Sarah has the edge over your standard Builder, in that she is so well practised in the back end of the process, her guiding quote is; “80% in the planning, 20% in the doing, do it once and do it right”, most typical builders are good at what they do, but not so good at the business, planning and compliance side of things, Sarah knows the entire package from start to finish.”
