What our clients are saying
This is our third build, and we had a list of boxes we wanted ticked in regard to this build. From the get go, with the concept plans done by Tony Karsten from Karsten Architectural Design, along with Russell, they listened to what we wanted and we have achieved exactly this and more. Russell and his team were awesome, nothing was a problem and any issues were remedied very quickly.
For us, building a new home was what we thought was an unattainable goal, but we found that with Russell’s Advice and Experience we were able to Design & Build a Quality new Home within our Budget. The Building Process with Bruce Design & Build went as we had hoped and we found Russell and his team to be very Friendly, Professional and Helpful.
After relocating from Australia, Nicola and I decided we wanted to build. Not knowing any tradesmen we spoke to a couple of builders and viewed their previous work. We felt the finishing work on the Bruce Design and Build homes stood out above the rest.
