BCI Hawker

Excellent experience! Cannot recommend highly enough. We engaged Steve and Shantelle to build our architect-designed home in late 2022. At the time COVID had severely affected the building industry with rising prices and the tradesman shortage. Despite the challenges, Hawker BCI delivered our high-quality home on time (6 months to the day!) and on budget. Both Steve and Shantelle were very hands-on throughout the project and always available to talk with us. COVID presented many supply issues which they were able to navigate through with ease using their experience and supplier contacts. Most of the subcontractors were long-time acquaintances of Steve which resulted in a defect-free build. We consider ourselves extremely lucky to have met S & S. Having a previous experience with a bad builder which resulted in a 4-year legal battle we were very apprehensive at the start of the project. It was long before we knew we had made the right decision. Our home has now been completed for 8 months and our street has many homes that remain unfinished and built to a low standard. Many are using overseas contractors on work visas..... Thank you guys!

From our first meeting with Steve from BCI Hawker we were impressed with his vision for our renovation and his creative ideas. Steve's expert building skills and advice has allowed us to create a beautiful family home with really special design features we had not thought of ourselves. BCI Hawker's communication with us was always professional and immediate, all our questions were answered and we are incredibly happy with the build finish. We were able to really enjoy the building process because we had full trust in Steve, Shantelle and their team of skilled tradespeople. BCI delivered our build on time, on budget and with lots of friendly moments along the way. The perfectionism Steve and his team demand of themselves gave us a beautifully finished home we love. This was a truly wonderful family experience renovating our house with such an expert builder.

BCI Hawker have built our home in Kingscliff. Our personal situation meant we could not check on progress regularly so we needed someone we could trust to project manage our build and love it like their own. That is exactly what the BCI Hawker team do. Steve and his team pay attention to every little detail. He communicated with respect & warmth and we knew our build was in good hands. The outcome is a stunning, architecturally designed home that has been finished with attention to detail and precision. Highly recommend!

We engaged the services of Stephen and Shantelle from BCI Hawker after terminating the contract of our first builder mid-build. The experience that we have had with them as opposed to our first builder could not be more different and our only regret is that we did not use them from the beginning. Steve's team of tradesman are craftsman in the true sense of the word and his sub-contractors are first-rate and generally just good people. Being an architecturally designed house, there were many decisions that needed to be made during the build process. I was away a lot but my trust in Steve meant that I could happily leave decisions to him and have confidence that he would choose the best course of action. Where there were multiple possible choices available that would have an aesthetic impact, Steve would outline the options and give his opinion on the pros and cons of each which would then allow us to make an informed decision. Importantly from my wife’s point of view, her interactions with Steve and all other tradesman on site were always positive and any questions asked were answered without condescension. At the handover stage, Steve’s eye for detail saw him picking up on small things needing rectification that I would have missed. Moving into a new house is a lot like the launch of a new ship. There are always going to be small problems that arise as new electrical systems and such are used for the first time. This is where the true value of having a good relationship with your builder and in turn he having the same with his sub-contractors becomes obvious. As an example, we had a small problem with a hot water system after our first night in the house. After calling Steve on a Sunday morning we had the plumber and electrician on site almost immediately. I doubt that this level of service would be provided by many builders. Finally, the most material example of our level of satisfaction with Stephen is that we are still on speaking terms after the house has been completed! We have no hesitation in recommending BCI Hawker and Steve is always welcome to bring prospective clients to our home to see the quality of the work he does first-hand.

After much deliberation in finding the right builder which suited us, we found Steve and Shantelle from BCI Hawker and engaged them to build our new home and it turned out to be the best decision we could have made. Steve is an amazing builder, and is hands on along with Jason and Rupert his carpenters. He has such an eye for design and detail and produces a true quality finish. His team of local tradesmen are of an extremely high standard and all work so well together, they are a great team, which is the core of a good builder. Steve went above and beyond our expectations and we would highly recommend him to anyone thinking of building or renovating. We can't thank Steve and his team enough for building our beautiful home.

It is not often you are looking for a sixth star! Working with Steve and Shantell was a real pleasure. Steve's attention to detail and insistence on quality eased any apprehension we had. We really appreciated his use of quality local tradespeople and his generosity of time and knowledge. Could not be happier.!

First of all, we would like to thank Steve, Shantelle and the BCI team for the professional manner in which the construction of our house was conducted. This ensured our dream family home was completed on time and within budget. Our home is stunning and we are thankful we chose the right builder. Steve’s eye for detail and his experience with various finishes and sanitaryware are second to none which assisted us in our decision making. BCI Hawkers attentive post-build support has also been an outstanding benefit which really sets them above and beyond. We would highly recommend BCI Hawker to any persons requiring a competent Project Manager/Builder.

We recently hired BCI Hawker Group to undertake a renovation of the upstairs of our house. While this was to be undertaken we went away on holiday for a substantial amount of the renovation process. We had the utmost trust in Stephen and his company to achieve our structural and design goals whilst not being on site and maintained a level of communication during this process that enabled us to feel involved but not stressed while away. Our property is in close proximity to our neighbours and careful consideration of this was never a problem for all on site during the build. The standard of our completed renovation and the time that it was achieved in exceeded our expectation. We were particularly impressed with their ability to problem solve unforseen issues that often arise with renovating an older stlye home but maintain our budget and aesthetic. We will definitely be using BCI Hawker for any future renovation and recommend them highly to others seeking a quality building team that puts their client first.

I cannot recommend BCI Hawker Group highly enough!! Stephen Hawker and his team did an absolutely sensational job building our house. From day one they were professional, friendly and very informative not to mention extremely approachable. My husband and i were new to this so we were guided by Stephen's experience and extensive knowledge. The build was ahead of schedule and i can happily say we did not go over budget - now that is a true representation of a great builder!!! I would not hesitate to use BCI Hawker Group again and i HIGHLY recommend them to anyone seeking to find a great builder.

We hired Stephen from BCI after he was recommended to complete our full renovation of our entire home. After our first contact with Stephen, we were extremely impressed by his professionalism and competency on completing the job at hand. He was very competent in his quoting and his knowledge in renovating and design tips were very handy in completing the job. All the staff at BCI were extremely professional and friendly and nothing was ever too hard to complete. We received in the end an amazing result, within budget and ahead of schedule. We are extremely happy and highly recommend BCI with the renovation of your home or your build your dream house. Thank you Stephen and BCI...

We hired Steve from BCI on the recommendation from a friend for a full renovation on the downstairs area of our home as well as an additional build of an attached granny flat. From the moment we met Steve we were impressed and at ease with his friendly honest approach. He was thorough & informative in letting us know the process at hand. Not only was his knowledge in building & renovating but he also has some wonderful creative ideas that helped with design, colours & interior choices. Everyone from BCI were extremely friendly, professional and worked incredibly hard to deliver an amazing result ahead of schedule. We could not have been happier and highly recommend this company with your build or renovation.
