Build Professional Canberra

We decided to engage Build Professional to undertake a major renovation of our family home after we had met with them several times. Our decision was based on many contributing factors, those being strong references from past clients, a good relationship with the team and knowledge of their quality work. It was an easy decision as it was clear from the beginning that Matt and his team had listened to our brief and understood what we were wanting to achieve.
Our project was quite large, involving both an extension and a complete renovation of our existing house. It commenced at the beginning of COVID which for most businesses created uncertainty however Build Professional continued with business as usual to ensure the delivery of our project remained on schedule. Whilst renovations and extensions can be challenging we felt involved throughout the process and were impressed with the quality of the subcontractors that Build Professional had engaged. The site team were always willing to accommodate our schedules for meetings and to ensure we were kept up to date with the site activities and program. The team treated our house like their own and they always ensured they had understood our expectations and delivered accordingly.

Our hopes were high going into the project and we are delighted with how they were not only met but well and truly exceeded. We have been delivered a quality home that we love living in and this is a testament to the hard work and attention to detail applied by the Build Professional team.

Matt and the Build Professional team’s professional manner, strong attention to detail and excellent communication skills, leaves us with no hesitation in highly recommending them to others seeking a quality renovation and/or extension.

Our house has become our home and we couldn’t be prouder of it thanks to everyone involved.

We engaged Build Professional to undertake a full gut renovation of our home in 2023. We bought the property with the intention of renovating, and we were grateful to Matt for coming out and assessing what was achievable before we had settled.
The Build Professional team were always easy to deal with and they have an established network of quality tradespeople who are similar in their approach. This network is invaluable as it is extremely difficult to find really good tradespeople in Canberra who are available when you need them.

The team gave us a lot of confidence as the renovation progressed as we had a complex house and block which required a lot of real time problem solving. Matt and team were good communicators and they always clearly set out our options and worked with us to identify the best way to proceed.

We’re extremely satisfied with our home and the quality of the works undertaken. Build Professional helped us to modernise a late 70s home and we now have something contemporary and beautiful which we’re very proud of.

We are so pleased with the results of our renovation by Build Professional, which has transformed our pokey 1970s home into a light, calming and functional space for our family.
Our project included the creation of a second bathroom, a new kitchen, deck extension and updates to windows, flooring and externals of the house. Having lived in the house for a number of years we came with plenty of ideas and questions!

Ryleigh worked so collaboratively and patiently with us to imagine old spaces into new, taking on board our ideas and bringing forward lots of excellent new solutions to meet the brief.

Through the selection phase Lynn provided outstanding support and was an amazing sounding board for our choices. Lynn really went above and beyond to help us achieve the look and feel of the house, bringing outside and inside together through colour and design.

Moving into the build phase was really smooth, with excellent communication about timeframes, sequencing and costs. Matt, Matt and Tim led the charge on construction, with Tim leading the tradie team and coordinating subcontractors to complete the demo and build to a quality standard. The regular site walk throughs with Tim and the other (excellent) tradies were really valuable and ensured everything was completed with functionality and quality finish in mind.

The Build team were really responsive when any issues arose, often identifying issues before we did, and worked with us to find solutions and offer clear advice to guide our decisions. BP really wowed us from start to finish with a strong commitment to communication (listening and keeping us updated), excellent project management and high quality results.

We’ve now been back in our ‘new’ house for 12 months and are in love with the results. While modest in size our house is an absolute joy to be in and functions so much better as a space we can live and relax in. Massive thanks to the whole BP team!

We are very happy we chose Build Professional for the renovation and extension of our ex-govie home. We really felt supported by Matt and his team through the different phases of the building process. We appreciated the fact that everything was done in-house, including drafting and planning permissions. In particular, the opportunity to work with their interior designer helped us make some great design choices. Matt really put a strong focus on ensuring the building process was a positive experience for us. He understood the importance of communicating clearly and was respectful of our needs. We felt supported and in safe hands throughout the build. And the best bit is that at the end of that experience we have a beautiful, cosy, energy-efficient and well-finished home which we love!

We contacted Build Professional (BP) on the recommendation of a friend who had used BP in a reconstruction of her home and had been very satisfied with the result. While not the cheapest quote, we were more focused on a quality build and staying on schedule. BP met both these requirements.
BP’s approach was methodical and highly pleasing. They listened to what we wanted, visited the premises, produced detailed plans in accordance with our requirements, made sensible suggestions and did not attempt to upsell us on items we did not want. They checked out the existing structure, arranged all necessary approvals and commenced work on our second story extension promptly, allowing us to continue in residence in the original building, which was important as we had small children in the house.

BP kept us informed on a regular basis of what to expect as the next stages. Construction was finished to high standard and within the timeframe originally proposed…to the surprise of some of our friends who had prophesied significant delays. All of the several sub-contractors arranged by BP proved thoroughly competent and considerate of our needs. They were also very pet-friendly and none of our four pets escaped during the process.

We were very impressed with the end results and feel we received excellent value.
