G.J. Gardner Homes

We’re halfway through our build with GJ Gardner Liverpool, and we’ve had a great experience with Kirstie. She’s warm, approachable, and always ready to help — her communication has made the whole process feel much easier. Even when we faced issues with the kitchen team (INZ) and a period where the build stalled due to scheduling, Kirstie stayed… Read more ·  1

proactive and supportive. She’s been a real bright spot in the journey, and we’re genuinely happy with the way she’s looked after us so far. We hope the rest of the project continues just as smoothly and that we keep working well together right through to completion.

The team at G.J. Gardner Homes Goulburn were absolutely amazing to work with, from the office to the site all personal were always willing to help and work hard to achieve a high standard and quality build. Start to finish there were no issues, with constant up dates, always happy to answer any questions and an end product we are super happy with.… Read more ·  1

We can’t thank the team enough for their hard work and friendliness along the way. We just love our new home.

We have just finished our build with GJ Gardner Taree and we could not be happier. The entire build from begining to end was easy, fun and so smooth. This was our first build ever and everyone said how stressful it will be, but not for us. We explained what we wanted and they delivered. Nothing was too hard, actually, not once did they say that… Read more ·  1

can't be done.... they just made it happen. They advised us of the pros and cons of doing particular things, and each time we could see what was best for us. We absolutely recommend GJ Gardner Homes Taree for your build and we are proud to say, everyone that has seen our home raves about the look and quality of build... and that includes from other professional builders.

We honestly cannot recommend GJ Gardner Homes Adelaide Hills enough! Looking back on our whole building journey, one of the biggest things that stands out to us is the team. From the people we dealt with every day, to the people working behind the scenes and all of the trades who helped bring our home together, it really was a huge team effort. … Read more ·  1

Throughout the whole process, we never felt like just another number. Everyone knew us by name, knew our build and was always willing to jump in and help. If someone was away, someone else could pick up our file and know exactly where things were at. That personal approach made such a difference and made us feel like our home actually mattered to the people building it.

A massive thank you to Kellie, Steven, Rachel and David, our site supervisor, for everything you have done for us. Each of you played such an important part in getting us to where we are today, and we really appreciate the time, care and effort you put into our build.

Rachel deserves a special mention for helping us bring our custom ideas together. We had taken different aspects from floor plans we loved and wanted to create something that felt completely like us. She helped us improve on our ideas and turn them into a plan that worked, rather than simply putting us into a standard builder design.

We also really appreciate the whole team working with us on our owner supplied items. We know we had A LOT of them and that this probably wasn’t always the easiest thing to manage, but everyone worked with us to make it happen.

And then there are all the people we don’t always get to see. The people behind the scenes, the trades and everyone coordinating each stage of the build. From the slab, to the frame, bricks, cabinetry, tiling, painting and all the finishing touches, there were so many people who played a part in creating our home.

We really want to acknowledge every single person involved, because the finished home is a reflection of the entire team, not just one person. The pride and care that went into our home has been clear throughout the build, and we are so grateful for that.

Building a home will always come with its challenges, but having a team that communicates, supports each other, listens to you and genuinely cares about the end result makes all the difference.

We are now sitting in a home that feels completely ours, and we couldn’t be happier with how it has all come together.

Thank you to the entire GJ Gardner Homes Adelaide Hills team, everyone behind the scenes and every trade who helped bring our home to life. We genuinely appreciate every person who played a part.

We love our home, we love that it feels like us, and we are so glad we chose this team to build it.

Our experience with GJ Gardner Homes, Toowoomba region has been fantastic! From the initial consultation through to the completion of our home, the team were amazing, very professional, friendly and easy to work with, nothing was too much for them. Communication was excellent throughout the build with weekly emails advising what was happening… Read more ·  1

for the week ahead. The quality of the workmanship is excellent. Kev, Aaron and Jules have certainly taken pride in delivering us a home we are very proud of. We are extremely happy with our new home and can’t recommend G.J. Gardner Homes enough to anyone that is looking to build. Thank you to the whole team for delivering us a home we absolutely love.

GJ Gardner Shepparton delivered our home ahead of schedule while providing excellent value for money and outstanding quality. The design stage was seamless, and the entire process was managed professionally from start to finish. Throughout the construction phase, the Construction Manager consulted with us at every stage of the build, ensuring we… Read more ·  1

were well informed and actively involved in decisions regarding any variations or amendments to the plans. We were extremely pleased with both the quality of the finished home and the level of communication throughout the project.

This is my second gj gardner home. Second experience better than first. Planning, construction, handover went smoothly. The Toowoomba team, Kev, Tracey and Jules were friendly, professional and knowledgeable in their tasks. My new home is high standard built, my modifications, wishes and requests heard and done. Luck and good decision in choosing gjgardner well founded. Cheers and best wishes to all. Show details ·  1

From start to finish the whole team guided us through our new home build, all our questions were explained clearly and were no trouble to the friendly team from front desk to the tradies.A running invoice kept track of the costs and was exactly as quoted, We have been in our new home for 3 months now, had a couple of teething problems we let them… Read more ·  1

know, all sorted straight away, We couldn't be happier with the professional services provided by the G.J Gardners Grafton Team, thanks everyone.

Very helpful from the first contact. As my build was not the usual surburban block but a country one. The build had many different requirements eg Bushfire area. Dual occupancy requirements. So far the tradies used have been very good. Quality so far very good. Site supervisor and office management have kept me informed during each stage. Show details ·  1

We couldn’t be happier with our experience with this building company. They are efficient, tidy and professional throughout the process so far. All of the trades are respectful, friendly and took great care in their work. We are always kept updated and, importantly, they stayed on track with the timeline. It has made the whole building process… Read more ·  1

feel smooth and stress-free. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and professional building company.

We live in Sydney and were looking for a builder in the ACT area for our new home. After speaking with several builders, I had an initial conversation with Skyy from GJ Gardner, and from day one, her level of enthusiasm, interest, and engagement really stood out from everyone else we spoke to. We were particularly impressed by the amount of… Read more

effort Skyy and the design team, especially Trina, invested in helping us assess our options before we had even made a commitment. Skyy worked hard to understand what we were trying to achieve and was always transparent throughout the process. She never overpromised and was honest about what could and couldn't be done, which gave us a great deal of confidence.

By the time we signed the contract, we had already built a strong level of trust. Thankfully, that positive experience only continued throughout the build. Danielle was instrumental in getting plan approvals.

Karen is simply amazing. She seems to have the memory of an AI model, remembering every detail from phone conversations and emails. She guided us through our selections, carefully documented everything, and provided thoughtful advice whenever we were considering upgrades or changes. We had more than 20 variations, upgrades, and add-ons throughout the build, and every one of them was managed with incredible attention to detail. We also really appreciated that the pricing of upgrades and add-ons was reasonable, and that the team was always willing to accommodate our requests with a positive attitude. Please note that the standard selections provided by GJG were still very good and sufficient.

Alison from the office is an absolute gem. Her weekly updates became something we genuinely looked forward to, and she was always helpful in coordinating our selection appointments and keeping us informed along the way.

Jacqui from accounts was equally fantastic. We never encountered a single issue with invoicing, and everything was always accurate, clearly communicated, and professionally managed.

As for site supervision, we couldn't have asked for anyone better than Jyle. Since we live in Sydney, we were only able to visit the site four or five times during the build. Jyle was always accommodating and willing to work around our schedule. On one occasion, we had arranged a site visit without realizing it was an ACT public holiday, and he still met us onsite at 8:00 am to walk us through the progress of the house. There were also several other occasions where he went above and beyond to help organise things on our behalf, saving us unnecessary trips from Sydney. His support and willingness to help made a huge difference throughout the build process.

Overall, the entire team at GJ Gardner Mitchell led by Rob exceeded our expectations. Their professionalism, transparency, attention to detail, and genuine commitment made what could have been a stressful process an enjoyable and rewarding experience. We are incredibly grateful for all their hard work, extremely happy with the outcome and would happily recommend them to anyone considering building a home.

As a first home buyer GJ Albury specially Shoana help as alot. From design that we like he even show as some ideas and help us when we have some questions. They are very helpful and flexible. Show details ·  1

Dream Family Home We came to GJ Gardner with a vision, an empty block, and a picture of what we wanted our next family home to look like. Over many months of planning, changing house plans, deciding on the size of spaces, layouts, facades, and designs, we finally had a set of house plans that suited us perfectly. GJ’s team then helped turn that… Read more ·  1

vision into a reality, exceeding our expectations when it came to building supervision, keeping everything on track, keeping us informed every step of the way, and ensuring we were involved in all decision-making throughout the build. Our site supervisor, Andrew Hansberry, deserves a special mention, as he played such an important role in bringing our home to life.It has now been just over six months since our handover, which we were lucky enough to receive just in time to move into our new home before Christmas.

Our house is finally complete, and we couldn’t be happier with the result. We are absolutely in love with our new home—it has exceeded our expectations in every way. Not only do we love how it looks, but the comfort, style, and functionality make it the perfect home for our family. Every day we’re reminded how grateful we are to have turned our vision into reality.

Looking back at where we started with just an empty block, it’s amazing to see what has been created. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and genuinely love coming home every day.

Our advice to anyone looking to build a new home would be to spend time developing a clear vision before you begin. Having a good idea of your preferred layout, design, colours, style, and interior finishes from the start makes the decision-making process much easier and helps create a home that truly reflects your personal taste. If there are specific products or finishes you’ve always wanted, sourcing some of these yourself can also be a great option to ensure you achieve exactly the look you’re after, while still making the most of the great range of selections available through GJ Gardner.

We’d also recommend taking your time during the final handover and in the months that follow to thoroughly inspect your home. Building is a detailed process, and it’s worth checking that every item has been completed and finished to the standard you expect. Keeping a list of any small items that need attention makes it easy for your builder to address them and ensures you’re completely happy with the finished result.

Thank you again to the GJ Gardner team for creating a beautiful family home for us to live in, enjoy, entertain in, and create so many wonderful memories in! Hamish and Elizabeth Eske

From display home consultant, to builder, site supervisor and office staff - all were professional, knowledgeable and respectful of our needs, budget and past property flooding issues. We were communicated with, listened to, and involved in the whole process. The design team incorporated our desires, and came up with a unique, spectacular and… Read more ·  1

achievable design that will never get old. We were openly and expertly guided by their interior design coordinator to showcase our home with the scheme we wanted but one that blended well with our surroundings.

The site supervisor was visibly ensuring work flowed as smoothly as possible, and provided weekly updates including photos of the progress - right up to hand over day.

We are very happy and satisfied with the build quality and workmanship of our home - even converting from gas stove to induction has been a cooking and cleaning game changer!

As with all house builds there were variations and cost additions, but the total project came in within budget, and we were informed of the changes and variations every step of the way.

The GJ Gardner Northern Gold Coast team understood our wishes and our needs, as well as our constraints and time frame. What they have delivered is a place we are proud to call home - and ahead of schedule. The icing on the cake? They made sure the house was ready for us to move into so my partner could wake up in our beautiful home on her birthday - with a birthday hamper!!

It is now 6 weeks on and we are truly thrilled with our well constructed and well finished build. Thanks to the GJ Gardner Northern Gold Coast team we finally have a safe, secure and stunning place we can proudly call home!!

Follow up on previous review! We have moved in and cannot be happier! G.J.Gardner Homes have been excellant from beginning to end! First class communication all the way. Knocked down our old house of 18 years in Dec 25. Started construction after holidays in the third week of January and we got the keys on the 29th of June 2026! A duplex each side… Read more ·  1

Our experience with GJG Inner East has been outstanding from the very beginning, and we would like to sincerely thank Luke Tuckerman, Andrew Timms, and Andrew McAuliffe for making our building journey such a positive one. Luke was extremely professional, patient, and took the time to answer every single question we had. He was a major reason we… Read more ·  1

chose GJG Inner East. His genuine and authentic approach stood out—he never overpromised or undersold anything. Instead, he was transparent throughout the entire process, showed us a variety of completed builds, and gave us the confidence to make an informed decision. His honesty and authenticity built our trust in both him and the GJG Inner East team.

Andrew, our Building Supervisor, has been equally exceptional. He made what can often be a stressful building process feel effortless. His consistent and clear communication, attention to detail, timely guidance and advice, and regular progress updates gave us complete confidence that our home was in the best possible hands. We always felt informed and reassured, knowing Andrew was managing every aspect of the build with professionalism and care. He truly removed the stress from the process, allowing us to enjoy the journey.

A special mention also goes to Andrew Timms, whose leadership and commitment to excellence were evident throughout the project. Under Andrew Timms' leadership, our home was completed in almost half of the original scheduled timeframe without compromising on quality. The workmanship has been commendable, and every commitment made to us was delivered—often ahead of schedule. His focus on efficiency, accountability, and delivering on promises made the entire experience even more impressive.

Thank you, Luke, Andrew Timms, and Andrew, for your professionalism, dedication, and commitment to delivering an exceptional customer experience. We couldn't be happier with our new home and would highly recommend GJG Inner East to anyone looking for a stress-free building experience, completed on time with outstanding quality.

I contracted with G J Gardner Homes Wodonga to build a new house for me in October 2024. The house was based on their Bridgewater design with a number of modifications and additional inclusions. We needed to have a special facade designed and many… Read more ·  1

other modifications and special items including retaining walls, air conditioning, solar panels etc. The project was completed at the end of June, 2025 and I have occupied the property since the first week in July, 2025. It is fair too say the whole experience dealing with the team at G J Gardner Wodonga exceeded my expectations, from the initial quoting process by Glenn, detailing of fittings by Kylie, the general administration of the project by Katie and construction supervision by Tom Grearly. A big thank you to the team of G J Gardner Wodonga, I love my new house

All the staff at G.J. Gardner Swan Hill were very courteous and helpful throughout the process of building my forever home. I was kept up to date on a weekly basis and they were very helpful with any changes I wanted during the build. I would certainly recommend them to everyone. Show details ·  1

We had a very poor experience with the GJ Gardner Camden franchise. In 2023 we were referred to the Camden franchise. When we met with [Name Removed], he was initially personable and gave us confidence that if we could dream it, he could build it—so we chose to proceed with the GJ Gardner brand. Before signing, we checked his background and… Read more

contacted GJ Gardner HQ, and everything looked fine at the time.

We signed the contract in August 2024, after the plans were finalised. A lengthy process in itself and quite frustrating. By January 2025, things started to go wrong—especially with the roof installation.

The subcontractors provided by Stoddarts repeatedly installed the roof incorrectly. Colourbond was handled incorrectly, fittings weren’t done properly (including gutter-related details), and basic installation requirements weren’t followed. Insulation was also left exposed for long periods. Two independent roofing reports later confirmed our worst fears: missing washers, Colourbond short-sheeted, and leaks. We had two reports because they attempted the roof three times and the problems were still there after each attempt.

We contacted GJ Gardner HQ in June 2025 about the ongoing issues and serious concerns regarding projected time frames. From then, work stalled—after the builder had an argument with the kitchen installers and became 'angry' with us for contacting HQ, promptly destroying personal property (a $500 camera installed to monitor temporary fencing around our pool build). We were left with only two payments left while also paying rent, storage, and covering about 90% of our home loan. Monitoring and quality assurances didn’t match what actually happened, and the build effectively stopped progressing.

We’ve been in the home since 3 December 2025, three months outside of contract and seven months over his worst case projected build time. We’re still waiting for the defects identified in Independent Building Reports (May and November 2025) and the Defect liability period to be properly rectified.

Recommendation: Proceed only if the builder/franchise is genuinely transparent, responsive, and able to complete quality work and timely defect rectification when issues arise.
