What our clients are saying
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.
We have found the whole experience to be the least stressful and easiest build yet. They had great communication and always listened to our thoughts/ideas. Any little problems along the way were always sorted out promptly and the build was completed well within the specified time.
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.
