Honest Client Testimonials

Right from our first meeting with Richard, I was struck by his attentive, confident and calm approach, encouraging close consultation and impressing us no end with his organisational skills (and organised office!).

Richard has a real commitment to ‘green’ building, and our vision was to build a home that was as energy efficient as we could afford, and was built to a high standard as our ‘forever’ home – so it was a really good matchup between us.
Looking back over this building experience, we can honestly say that we always felt our home was in safe hands with Richard.

Dear Richard

As I look back, I am very glad we found and selected Canberra Home Builders to construct our new house. We quickly established a friendly and constructive relationship with Richard and it became evident that he cared about our house turning out great just as much almost as we did.

Now that we have been living here for over 8 months, we are extremely happy with the outcome and the relationship with Richard has continued.

Canberra Home Builders turned building a house – something we were honestly dreading – into a fantastic experience for us. Building is a massive and frightening investment, but their team helped us feel reassured and confident right from day one.

Our home needed to be energy-efficient, which is why we were attracted to CHB’s dedication to green building. They were even able to create an ‘energy use data collection’ system for us to monitor our home’s ongoing eco-friendliness, which is fantastic! We really appreciated that they share our same values in this matter, and we were thrilled with the quality of the final result – I know this is a home we’ll love living in for many, many years to come.

The house CHB built for us really is perfect – beautiful with open spaces, and exactly what we envisioned. We’re very grateful to the team’s hard work, ethical approach and commitment to communication. We’d definitely recommend them.

The team at Canberra Home Builders did such a wonderful job. They didn’t just build our house – they built our dream home. We had high hopes and specific ideas, and they were able to bring our sketches to life. Of course, it was also really convenient that we didn’t need to move to a new neighbourhood!

All our friends and family have complimented our new home. Some acquaintances with experience in the building industry have commented on the high-quality workmanship, while others have simply been amazed by how great the property looks (thanks in part to all the natural light the design lets in!).

The building process itself was a pleasure too, thanks to the friendly and efficient staff. We found the whole team helpful and always available to provide updates or advice.

Would we recommend Canberra Home Builders to other people? Without hesitation, yes – in fact, we’ve already done so!

I just wanted to say thank you to the entire team at Canberra Home Builders. Together, you have built us a beautiful home that I am very proud of, and one that I cannot wait to show off to all my friends. I am very grateful for all your hard work.

You made the process very easy for me, because as you know at times I had no idea about a few things, which you were able to clarify with the ease and patience that a lay person needed. Now my family and I have a place to call home again. Once again, thank you so much!

Richard has been wonderful and patient in getting our dream house ready to be built. Richard’s experience and knowledge of the industry are a great asset and he has helped us navigate the building process with confidence. We have seen some of his finished houses and the quality of the build made us sure we made the right choice.

To Richard and the Canberra Home Builders Crew,

Thanks for a fantastic job of building of our dream home. Everything has turned out as we had hoped and the ideas we had on paper have been turned into reality thanks to you and your team.

The quality of the work performed is outstanding. This has been reflected in the responses we have had from family and friends, some of whom are involved in the building industry.

In addition to the high standard of workmanship, we thoroughly enjoyed working with you and your team throughout the building process.

Thanks again for your time, patience and professionalism.

Hello Richard and Jenny

I just wanted to say thank you. You have built a beautiful home that I am very proud of and cannot wait to show it off to all my friends. I am very grateful for all your hard work. You made the process very easy for me, because as you know at times I had no idea about a few things. Bo and Rille now have a place to call home again.

Once again thanks you so much.

Working with Richard and Canberra Home Builders was an exceptionally positive experience. We found him to be extremely professional, knowledgeable and responsive. He worked with us to help overcome obstacles with some of the blocks of land we were looking to purchase, and delivered a building quote that met our requirements completely. While we are continuing our land search, when we do find the right block, Richard and Canberra Home Builders will be our preferred builder. Would absolutely recommend.

Richard is one of the most honest builders you will find in the ACT.

We engaged Richard to get a rough price guide for doing a knock-down rebuild on the current property that we are renting, and he talked us out of it basically doing himself out of a job and recommended that we look at established houses or a better block to rebuild on.

He could have easily just told us what we wanted to hear and made a good profit but he was extremely honest which we greatly appreciated. He has given us good sound advice about some properties we have looked at and we can’t wait for him to build our brand-new house when the right time comes.
Richard, thank you so much for your strong work ethic and wisdom. You are not allowed to move from the ACT or retire until you build our house!
