Build Professional has transformed our lifestyle, bringing by design more functional space and natural light to our old home. We are delighted with the results and enjoyed the care and energy brought to the design and build by the Build Professional team.
We were drawn by the benefits of engaging a company that delivered both design and construction. Our challenge was to improve the functionality and efficiency of our home for our family of five, including adding a second story and double garage, whilst phasing the renovation to allow us to remain living in situ during the build. With due consideration for our needs and through resourcefulness by the whole Build Professional team, the journey was efficient and effective, delivering a design that met our needs – sympathetic to the surrounding street scape, maximising space and the northerly aspect, yet with a more modern feel. We were so appreciative of the Designer and Matt Hall’s patience and advice as we worked together to develop the design best for us and our budget. The Build Professional team set us up smoothly to commence the build and took the hassle and risk out of searching for builders against a design and gaining local approvals.

Our Project Manager, Wayne, and his subbies were cheerful, skilled and reliable, on site early and putting in a full day’s work, and often weekends throughout the build to keep on top of schedule. A very pleasant and competent Build Professional team kept us informed of progress and drew to our attention early any emergent issues or potential cost drivers invariably associated with renovating an old home. Matt Hall and his team were courteous and did everything they could to make our lives comfortable during the build.

We have thoroughly enjoyed our relationship with Matt Hall and the whole team at Build Professional. When at times opinions may differ as is expected through a major undertaking such as ours, we always sensed it was a ‘team effort’, us and Build Professional, working to
accommodate the best outcome.

We are so happy with our choice of Build Professional and would happily recommend them to others. Thanks again Matt, Wayne and the team.

We’re thrilled with how our family home has transformed.
The team at Build Professional understood what we wanted to achieve and have exceeded our expectations. Our family now has a place to entertain and enjoy for many years and life experiences to come.

A special thanks to our Project Manager and the Build Pro team for guiding us on the journey and making our plans a reality.

We had Build Professional extend our home to allow for multi-generational living (i.e. adding a fancy new wing for aging parents/growing children), and to create an outdoor alfresco area that was both attractive and functional. I wanted the extension to look like it really belonged to the existing home. I feel we have achieved all of that!
From the outset, Matt Hall and their design team were great, and super patient with my seemingly endless list of questions. We found that talking with the team that were also going to have to do the building, meant we got really practical answers and a quick, clear picture of how our design ideas translated to costs.

Having been a bit fearful about the actual building process, I was pleasantly surprised by how smoothly things went (even in the midst of Covid restrictions). Our project manager was well organised, professional, and just really easy to work with. Similarly, we found their preferred subcontractors to be pleasant and of a generally high standard. We have certainly kept a list of names for future reference!

On the occasions where issues or queries did arise (no build is perfect), we felt that the team worked with us in a cooperative and reasonable way to resolve the issue, and to get an outcome we were happy with. We consistently felt that their team cared about what they were doing, and about the quality of the outcome.

We wouldn’t hesitate to use Build Professional again in the future.

We needed help! Our place was quaint and charming but completely lacked functionality. With two growing boys (one requiring accessibility modifications) we needed to create more space without extending.
From our first interaction with Build Professional it was evident that they ticked all the boxes. Professional, robust processes and procedures, open communication and, design conscious without sacrificing function. Design and build was the perfect option for us, as we wanted someone else to take charge from beginning to end.

The design process was a complete breeze. The team listened to what we wanted and although we had a really good idea of how the space could look the design that they came up with was so much more beautiful and functional than we had imagined. It was also within budget.

We had lived through a number of renovations before so we were prepared and at no time were we left without the essentials for living such as hot water or electricity. We really appreciated that the construction phase was so well orchestrated. Everything was so well organised with all the trades coordinated so that the build time was as speedy as possible.

Build Professional went above and beyond on two occasions during the build process. The first when they noticed water damage in our bathroom that had been renovated 3 years prior. The team contacted the builder responsible and ensured that they rectified the damage in a timely manner.

The second occasion was when our heating system failed. The team were on it straight away, recommending a supplier that was competitive and could get a new system in very quickly.

We are so thrilled with the final result. We have a light filled kitchen dining space that leads onto our beautiful garden. The renovation has made our lives so much easier – especially in relation to accessibility for our youngest son.

Thank you so much and we’ll definitely be in touch for phase 2.

With three young children in a three bedroom house, we needed more living space for our family. We wanted to find a way to renovate our house while being able to live in it while the building work took place. After doing our research, there was only one company that was consistently recommended – Build Professional.
We gave them a brief that sought the addition of an upper story, including two new bedrooms and en-suite, while being faithful to the original look of our 1970s-build house. The result has been exactly what we wanted. The project was managed on time and on budget. Communication was excellent and timely, from design through to delivery.

We were able to tailor design options to suit our budget, and the overall experience has proven to us the value of the project managed approach that Build Professional offer. We felt that all of the team and trades took great pride in their work. We are extremely happy with the final result, and have no hesitation in recommending Build Professional to others.
