Empire Building Constructions

Reliable Quality Builder – We would like to provide a review for Rob Paxton of Empire Building Constructions. We wanted to demolish two internal load bearing walls and replace an external 1.8m glass door with a wider one. We jad asked an engineer to prepare and design an engineering report for the removal of the walls. We approached several builders with the report. Out of 6 builders, 4 builders said they could do them without any issues. Rob was one of the two who flagged potential issues. In fact Rob was the only builders who then declined the works because he was concerned about the potential damage to the bathroom directly above these walls. He then called the engineer and communicated his concerns that notwithstanding the prescribed steel beem, there would be deflection that would crack bathroom tiled walls and waterproofing membrane and potentially would cost us ten of thousands of dollars. The Engineer acknowledged his concerns. Rob then drew and recommended change to the drawing which was then accepted and approved by the engineer to demolish one wall instead of two. His knowledge is superb

I find Rob to be honest, trustworthy and reliable. He takes pride in his works - a rare trait of an old fashioned tradesman. He is neat and tidy and always cleans up after work. He is generous with his advice and patient in answering our questions.

Because we were happy with his works we wanted to give him more works. He said he could do but would not recommend because it would not improve the value of our house compare to the money we spent.

His prices are not the cheapest but is competitive, fair and reasonable.

My wife and I are satisfied with the quality of his works and therefore are happy to recommend his to anyone who wants to renovate his/her house - small or big works. I am happy to talk to anyone who wants to know more details about what works he has done for us. A good builder is hard to find these days so I wish to spread the good news about this 5 gold star rated builder.
