Home Restoration Services in Newcastle, New South Wales

“Nick and the team at Green Chip did an amazing job on our back deck extension. Each day we'd come home from work, we were amazed at the progress they had made during the day. They were also very consultative and fluid in their process, adapting to our decisions we were making as the build was underway (eg: How high we wanted screens once the deck was in place). A couple of years later and we are using the deck more than ever. A great investment and would definitely recommend them to friends.”

“It took us several years to find the right architect - Debra was recommended to us by two different people - by a builder who had worked with her and by a friend who was Debra's client. Debra was able to design something that was a great home for the family and took advantage of the house's position and view - and she kept within our budget! She is great at the technical and creative aspects of her profession, but the upsell with Debra is her relationship and communication skills. Our job ran smoothly - not only because of the quality of the workmanship of our builder who she helped us choose - but also because Debra's communication style was considered, open and consultative - she acted as the perfect go-between for us all and issues were resolved quickly and easily. We've had many friends whose building projects have turned into nightmares - but ours was very hassle-free and much of the thanks for that goes to Deb!”

“ESD project managed the total renovation of our home including concept design, building plans, Council submissions and on-site management during construction. Their professional approach, attention to detail, experience and friendly can-do attitude made the whole process stress free. The project was completed on time and the end result was amazing. We have no hesitation in recommending their services.”

“I have known Don Hamilton for the past 4 years on a professional basis of client to builder. During that time I have found Don to be honest, hardworking, with creative building suggestions to help problem solve and also ideas on ways to reduce your building costs. Don has completed three home improvements over this time for myself and I have been very happy with the finished product (new Kitchen & laundry, new bathroom on-suite & new veranda steps). I have no hesitation in recommending Don’s building service – H3 Projects. Your sincerely Peter Carmichael”

“We hired Lauran with the appreciation that she was an enthusiastic and intelligent designer. Lauran was able to provide us with a number of potential designs to see which we gravitated to the most, and then through a process of refining ideas, we were able to come up with a design that was aesthetically pleasing and functionally common-sense. Something we appreciated was how readily our ideas were considered and trialled on a 3D BIMX model. This allowed us to visualise whether or not certain ideas would work in practice as we "walked" through the design on our computers and smart phones. Overall, Lauran's honest hardworking approach, combined with her knowledge and experience, allowed us to realise what we could build for our family home. Many, many thanks Lauran”

“We have worked with Rustic Touch on and off for 7 years, and have engaged them to design and build two large homes as well as a renovation to another. You often hear dreadful stories about the relationship between builders and clients. Fortunately every experience we have had has been fantastic, which is probably why we have used their services more than once. Tony and Deb are incredibly professional in their approach to every part of the build. They are both very talented in design and build and it is because of them that we have a house that we absolutely love. We could not recommend them highly enough.”

“A quality builder that always goes above & beyond for their clients. Michael is extremely knowledgeable & genuine & is always a pleasure to work with. I can't recommend the Bull Building team enough!”

“Simon and Mia built and designed our extension and pool at our home in Avalon Beach in 2016. We were very pleased with the result! Simon & Mia work very well as a team & helped us choose the best materials for the build! Simon is a very tidy builder & cleaned up every day. I can recommend them, because their work is of the highest quality & they are very pleasant people to work with.”

“The lake house is a much loved holiday home. However having survived being the host for over three decades to four children and countless family and friends, it desperately needed some work. Despite several attempts to do it ourselves, living in Sydney made it essentially impossible. Bringing Jasmine onboard as the project manager changed all that. Jasmine was professional, diligent and understanding of what we wanted and what the house needed. She sourced reasonably priced quality tradesmen and oversaw each step of the process. Without being pushy, Jasmine provided ideas when we were stuck and identified items to consider that weren't initially in our scope but that significantly improved the final outcome. The completion of the works has been timely and we're still coming to terms with how amazing the place looks now! We will definitely be using EKAH Studio again and highly recommend it to others.”
