Testimonials “Having been told that building could be a stressful experience we found that working with Chris, William and his team was an enjoyable and extremely satisfying time. It was obvious to us that William had a very good working relationship with his sub-contractors who were all so well informed and time-coordinated that there wasn’t one day during the Granny Flat build that someone wasn’t onsite working as per the agreed time and schedule. As a result the Granny Flat was finished as per the schedule with a Top class quality one of the best -- as per the certifier, we begin enjoying our wonderful new unit with family and friends. On a personal note Chris and William advised and consulted us on every decision and nothing was a problem if changes needed to be made, their suggestions were sound and cost effective not like other builders where they are interested with variations and we got lot extra items done in good faith. William has an eye for detail, brings his own design flair and experience to the project and the quality of finishing was to the very highest standard. It is obvious that Blue Gum Granny Flat Builders take pride in their work and genuinely enjoy building granny flats for their many satisfied clients. We would definitely engage Blue Gum Granny Flat Company again if we build another project similar to this in the future. Regards,” Prashant and Hemangi, Girraween “It was a very fortunate day when Blue Gum Granny Flats were recommended to us. After starting our granny flat as owner-builders we hit major problems with certifiers, neighbours and council, it was at this point that William and Chris come into the picture to save the project. Being of European heritage I can be a nightmare for tradesman as I have high expectations and a real eye for details — but William leaves me for dead in this regard — which is great as a customer. But funnily enough his tradesmen speak highly of him as well. I think you have to have high standards yourself to keep working with him — which they all do. I cannot speak highly enough on their professionalism, attention to detail and willingness to do just a little bit extra. The end result was a completely stress free project for us and a result that exceeded our expectations. The granny flat was completed exactly to timetable and without any variations from the quote — actually we received a few unexpected extras. Blue gum Granny Flats saved our build and the end result was that it rented out on first viewing for $450 per week — a financial result well above our starting expectations. I would recommend Blue gum Granny Flats without any reservations” Linda, North Ryde “When I first contacted Blue gum granny flats I was amazed at the service I received. I got 3 quotations from other builders and found they were the best priced but also had the best inclusions these are not kit homes like the other companies but traditionally built homes. The fit out of my granny flat is of the highest quality and the build time is amazingly fast about 10 weeks from start to finish. This experience has changed the way I look at property this is the best return on investment by far and I will be looking at doing another project with Blue gum granny flats in the new year” Philip Hester - St Andrews “I have had a very good experience in working with Blue Gum Granny Flats. During the construction period they were very keen to hear my own choice and were very flexible to accommodate that” Dr. A. Rashid - Wiley Park “Working with Martrin & Walker Construction (Blue Gum Granny Flats) was a very good experience. Its people were very attentive toward ensuring my project plans became a reality. Also, they were always available to answer or discuss any queries I had during the construction process. I often felt like a partner, rather than just one of their clients and overall, the company are professional, genuine and reliable and working with them was a pleasure. Regards,” Joe Vitale — Seven Hills Dealing with Chris and William has been absolutely pleasant. From quoting to building, the communications have been great; there is no hidden cost or nasty surprises. The job has been completed exceeding my expectations and within the time frame. Thanks for a job well done.” Christie Chen — Campbelltown “We would gladly recommend Blue Gum Granny Flats to anyone seeking a builder who is both professional and communicates well. This was our first build and so the extra level of communication was just what we needed. With the build being to ‘turn key” the place was ready to rent from handover. Our granny flat was built quickly and without many of the issues that you hear about. Everything is explained up front and you know exactly what is involved. The quality of the build was second to none.” Paul & Felicity, Baulkham Hills “We are extremely satisfied with Blue Gum Granny Flats. Their tradesmen are some of the best we have experienced, and the work done was well above our expectations. Chris & William were always available to answer any questions we posed, and would go out of their way to help with any additions we required. They are highly professional and we do not hesitate to recommend them to anyone who is contemplating a building project. Many Thanks,” James & Panisara - Sylvania Heights “The Granny Flat looks fantastic. I cannot say how pleased we are with how it has turned out. We signed a tenant on the spot on Saturday at a higher rate than we previously advertised. As the tenant said, “This isn’t a granny flat, this is a house”. Stephanie and I both agreed that the quality of the granny flat and the landscaping was very high and contributed towards this result. Thank you once again for your efforts, and I look forward to working with you on our next granny flat (hopefully in around eight weeks). Thanks,” Andrew Mencinsky — Heckenberg “I would like to take this opportunity to pass on most sincere thanks to Chris, William, and Co. The flat looks great thanks to the hard work and expertise of the tradesmen involved. The real measure is how the project runs when there is an unforeseen event or situation. Am glad to say they kept me informed at all times, and the team rose to the occasion to work through/around any issue and complete the task at hand. They are good people to deal with and take pride in their work. No shortcuts are taken, there is great attention to detail, and the finished result looks excellent. Everyone I’ve taken to see the flat is very impressed. I would have no hesitation in recommending Blue Gum to any of my friends. With kind regards, Julian Williams — Leumeah “This was my first build so I really needed some one who was professional, helpful and had good communication and customer service skills.
