WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY ABOUT US

  • We met Dale during our kitchen upgrade, on the advice of Bryan from Waterfall Kitchens. We had been considering whether to build a new home but didn’t want to give up our neighbourhood. At our first meeting, I decided quite quickly we would go ahead and renovate and I wouldn’t seek out anyone else to quote for the job. Dale was punctual and professional and really listened to me. We increased the scope of the work to include a general renovation of our home, including 2 bathrooms, a bathroom / laundry and a general facelift of the property. We discussed my ideas in detail and he suggested a realistic plan he could deliver within budget to achieve the result I envisioned. I appreciated his honesty and his enthusiasm to achieve what I wanted within the confines of my budget and vision. He was a great problem solver and always solutions focused. Every tradesperson who entered my home was an absolute delight and Dale made sure the worksite was as clean at the end of the day as when they arrived. He closely managed the 3 month project and was in constant contact when he wasn’t here in person. If something was not completed to his high standard he asked for it to be revised. Dale is a highly skilled project manager with a real eye for detail and design; Also an all round nice guy. Very quickly we developed an easy working partnership and a great degree of trust. Dale and his team have created a bespoke home for us that we never could have imagined. We are just thrilled with what he has delivered and we couldn’t be prouder of our ‘new’ home.

    Olivia — Hamlyn Terrace

  • Dale is the ultimate professional who is reliable, friendly courteous. Contact is made throughout the job, if he says either he or any of his team are going to be there, they are, and on time! Dale has a great team working with him and their expertise in their area is spot on. I have felt relaxed and no worries throughout the job as everything has flowed along well. I have no hesitation in recommending Dale for any job big or small, everyone is treated the same. Dale, it’s been an absolute pleasure, 100% satisfaction!!!!!

    Margaret — Lake Munmorah

  • I had an excellent experience with Dale and his team on my home renovations. We knocked down walls to create open plan living and dining, relocated and installed a new kitchen (Waterfall Kitchens), added a skylight and large sliding glass doors for better access to a patio, and removed an external door and window to make some of those floor plan changes. From the moment Dale came to quote on my job to the day the job was officially completed, he’s been highly professional, reliable and accessible. The quote was fully itemised so I could clearly see the costs, which helped to make decisions about what to include or remove from scope to stay within my budget. The finished product is excellent and Dale and his other tradies were all reliable, considerate and easy to have around the house. Nothing was a hassle and Dale was responsive to phone calls and messages. I would highly recommend Hughes Building & Construction.
