Our recent projects
What our clients are saying
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.
When we decided to build again, the choice was made simple as to whom we should use. We have built 4 houses now, and the easiest by far was building with Bruce Design & Build.
Russell made our Build so easy and straightforward. Nothing was a problem for them.
The good thing about Russell is his extreme honesty and wanting to really make our house a “Dream Home.”
The stress of building a home, and all the decisions that comes with this was made easy. Russell was really flexible and his “can do” attitude was brilliant. Had some great ideas too!!
We thank you for building our house & will always recommend you to all our friends.
This house was to be our fourth build and we were quite clear about our vision. The “nothing is a problem” attitude and the quality of work was really important to us, as was the communication with the guys on the job each day. It really was a team effort. The quality and finishing of the build more than met our expectations and we are extremely proud of what has been achieved.
