Testimonial

Working with Luke was a pleasure from start to finish - we invited 3 other builders to prepare quotes but we chose Luke because contributed some great ideas, and we had confidence in his craftsmanship and to work to our timeline. Communication during the renovation was fantastic, he was flexible when we would change our minds on things, and we were consulted at every step of the way. Our house is basically brand new and a year on, we still can’t believe we get to live here! - Mel & Michael.
