Smith & Sons Hornsby / Turramurra

We had an outstanding experience with Smith and Sons Hornsby. They helped us extend and renovate our small 1930's home. Over the roughly year-long process that we have known the Smith and Sons team, they have proved themselves capable, flexible, pragmatic, considerate and trustworthy. We plan on using Smith and Sons again in the future if we require further building work. We are confident to strongly recommend others use Smith and Sons. Some details: Smith and Sons graciously guided us through our entire renovation experience (designs, approvals and build). Having a single point of contact for our renovation journey was super helpful. We needed to keep to a strict budget, and having the builders give early input on the designs helped to get good early clarity on the costs of various options before locking anything in. Smith and Sons came in on budget and were extremely transparent with costs. We saved some money on some materials, as they had a lower price than expected, and we were able to put that money towards other minor modifications. Although we were on a tight budget, the Smith and Sons team was able to successfully extend our home while maintaining its 1930s aesthetic. We were able to live in our home for most of our renovation. This surely added complexity for Smith and Sons, but it saved us the hassle and cost of finding alternative accommodation. We are extremely happy with the quality of their work. They held themselves to an extremely high bar. Any potential issues we noticed during the build, they were quick to engage with and action. Throughout our project, the Smith and Sons team proactively engaged us in conversation about small opportunities to improve things. Communication between us and Smith and Sons was quick, productive and easy. Exactly what we hoped for. Thanks so much

Brett, Mark and his team were amazing. They went to great lengths to ensure the dog & kids still had access to the back yard during the renovations, the site was always left clean and they were very accommodating with any questions or queries that arose during the build. I would have no hesitations in recommending them to anyone (and have already done so!)

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Brett and his team. From the initial consultation we appreciated Brett's collaborative style, communication, and 'can-do' approach. We were able to agree on a fixed price contract which was important to us. The project has run exactly to schedule and Brett's team have been of the highest standard throughout, whilst very respectful of our family living on site during the build. We are very pleased with the results and as a designer in the industry, I look forward to working with Smith & Sons in the near future.

THAT WENT VERY WELL! Dec 2015 we finished a large extension to our home (North Shore - Sydney). After Design & Spec stage we spoke to 6 builders and Brett from Smith & Sons was a standout. He listens, comes up with excellent advice and solutions to budget. Brett's builders, and tradies were excellent - very skilled, great rapport and a cleanup each day before leaving our worksite The build was finished early, exactly what we wanted on budget and well supervised. Highly recommended!
