Our recent projects
What our clients are saying
There was much family input, which Russell took on board. He was very receptive to our suggestions, and he was a pleasure to deal with. The overall build and finish was immaculately done, and is much admired by our friends. We are extremely glad that we chose Russell Bruce of Bruce Design & Build.
We engaged Bruce Design & Build to build a property for a member of our family. We needed someone that was honest, reliable and a high standard of workmanship & we found Russell and his team to be all of the above. During the process of building, as always there can be a few hiccups/changes along the way; Russell addressed these with no hesitation so things proceeded very smoothly.
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!
