What our clients are saying
This house was to be our fourth build and we were quite clear about our vision. The “nothing is a problem” attitude and the quality of work was really important to us, as was the communication with the guys on the job each day. It really was a team effort. The quality and finishing of the build more than met our expectations and we are extremely proud of what has been achieved.
When we looked at building our third home, we considered various building companies until we had a chance referral to Bruce Design & Build. Upon meeting and working with Russell and his team, we felt that we were onto a winning combination!
Living onsite during the build process and seeing the progress on a daily basis allowed us to fully appreciate the quality of materials and the workmanship that went into our new home.
The contract itself offered us certainty of price, while allowing us scope to use other products and suppliers if we chose. The end result was a home that we love for a price that we could afford.
