“White Pebbles oversaw the building of our house in Blairghowrie. We had no idea what we were in for in building a new home. We had built, renovate over the years but things have changed so much Re councils etc. White Pebble went over and beyond and we could not have done it without them They showed us so many things we were unaware of and picked up lots of things in the plans etc that we had missed.”

“Pascon Group Pty Ltd was by far the best Builders I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. I started a significant development project on my two properties situated at 194 & 195 Canterbury Road St.Kilda West where I fully renovated and made rear extensions to these properties and Pascon Group Builders delivered with the highest possible workmanship, they delivered the project on time and on budget. The father son combination with this building company was without doubt the best I have ever experienced. The most impressive thing was that I was stress free throughout the entire project as the directors took control of the project they made improvements and recommendations as we went along and they delivered with an absolutely stunning finished product. The two properties have subsequently been sold with a significant profit thanks to the hard work provided by the builders and the excellent finished product they produced. There is no doubt that my next building project will be with Pascon Group Builders once again and I would have no doubt in recommending this company to any prospective owners undertaking a building project.”

“We engaged Tony to help us renovate our house. We had our own ideas on what spaces we would like. However we were struggling to understand what was possible with the existing building fabric, how to make best use of our small site, and how to accommodate everything we wanted within our limited budget. We looked at Tony’s own house prior to engaging him, and were amazed by how some inspired thinking and years of experience could totally transform a property. Tony spent a lot of time investigating how our house had been constructed (it was quite unusual), so as to ensure all decisions were cost-effective. A priority for us, was to construct an energy efficient home which would make the most of our corner block location in order to reduce the need for excessive heating/cooling. After investigating a number of alternatives, we settled on an option which incorporated two key concepts – construction within in a disused side setback (which we had never imagined possible, due to its proximity to the boundary), and a new living space with a cathedral ceiling. These two ideas unlocked our property’s true potential, and turned what was a dingy, worn-out house into a light-filled, modern home with everything we need - and which we absolutely love coming home to! Tony's years of experience, consultative manner, and innovative style assisted us in completing our project on time, under budget and with minimal stress.”
