New Home Build

5 out of 5, reviewed on Oct 19, 2018

I had a wonderful experience with GJ Gardner Homes Ballina and Tweed Heads. Pete and his team were always very accommodating and kept me up to speed at all times. Minimal defects to rectify prior to final handover. Would highly recommend them to anyone without hesitation. It was such an easy process and the staff were always helpful and provided guidance as required.

Stress Free, Amazing Value & Exceptional Service!

5 out of 5, reviewed on Oct 17, 2018

We were so lucky to have walked into the GJ display home at Pimpama!
From the very start Mat made the whole process easy! He listened to us and helped us to put our custom build together with the unique touches we wanted, within our budget.
We went for a Hamptons style and cannot believe that our dream became a reality.
The service didn't stop with Mat, he introduced us to our Site Manager James who was nothing short of amazing!
James was easy going but his attention to detail, timeline and delivery of quality build was nothing like we have ever seen. There were a few changes made by us during construction which we thought would be an issue or costly, not at all though. Our Site Supervisor worked with us to make sure we were happy with the result.
Whenever we phoned James he answered or called back almost immediately, and he never called with any issues that he didn't already have a solution in mind for.

If we build ever again, it will be hands down with GJ Gardner homes.
Mat, James & the office team were all so above our expectations.
We have and continue to recommend this company when anyone asks who built our home.

Our Dream Home - Amazing Experience, Highly Recommended!

5 out of 5, reviewed on Oct 17, 2018

Deciding on who we would contract to build our dream home was a tough choice. Working in the real estate industry it was always going to be hard as i had high expectations and we really wanted to get it right. Choosing GJ gardener was a fantastic decision, the worked with us with the design and really listened to us as the clients. They took time to change things when i changed my mind, which was often and i felt the end result showed the care and effort that was put into the build. The quality of the home is amazing and on the call back to fix any major issues there was very little to fix. It wasn't an easy build as we had no electricity connection so we build off grid and we were in the middle of no where but GJ Gardner worked around all the obstacles. Our build supervisor was Chris Niblett and he continually went out of his way to help where he could and I believe the home wouldn't be the same without his advise and attention to detail. We are in love with our dream home,I thank GJ Gardener for their patience and care and the time that it took was worth it, they even got us in a couple of weeks early in time for my sons birthday. Working in real estate i have always noticed the GJ Gardner homes are well built and are of a high quality and I am definitely recommending them to a number of buyers. Build with GJ Gardner and you will be impressed with the outcome. Thank you Thank you Thank you to the entire team. I am hoping to one day build an investment and i wouldn't even think of going anywhere else.

GJ Gardner Orange - great customer service & quality build

5 out of 5, reviewed on Oct 17, 2018

Communication from beginning to end was easy & always fast. All my questions could be answered & changes to plans were never an issue. The first plan didn't quite work for me & without hesitation Mark re-designed the whole kitchen/living area & it ended up spot on. There were no unexpected costs & it was kept to the original quote. No interuptions to the build & it was finished ahead of schedule.

Very happy with how my house turned out.

We built our dream home, not kidding we did

5 out of 5, reviewed on Oct 15, 2018

The build went very quickly, few wet days but finished in good time.
The build quality was excellent, we only had one issue with the door to the garage having a gap and letting in a draft but this was fixed.
The final cost was dearer than the original quote but we did add a LOT of extras. And we are so glad we did them before the build.

Our gorgeous GJ Garner beach house

5 out of 5, reviewed on Oct 10, 2018

We are absolutely delighted with the beach house GJ Gardner Bass Coast have built for our family.
From our very first visit to the office, we were greeted with the informative, attentive and extremely proactive Susie who helped us throughout the design and costing stage.
The display and showroom included good quality and an extensive range of products.
The advice we received throughout from John, Rob and Gill at the contract administration and estimation stage was practical, no nonsense and informative. Whenever we asked questions, the team responded almost immediately. At all times, we felt valued and that our project was important. We, as the customer, really felt like we were at the centre and never dismissed.
As the construction commenced, we met our extremely talented, technically proficient, logical, no nonsense and pragmatic construction manager Paul. His honesty and willingness to update us with progress was refreshing and welcomed. It was clear from the moment we met him that his aim was to build a product that would last and his practical tips and guidance throughout made us extremely happy.
We have a house they we are proud of, happy to show off and share with our family and friends.
Even though we have since moved in, we are still made to feel like a valuable past customer and their service on following up remaining items has been first rate.

Thank you Gill and Garry for running a professional building company and for employing caring and technically proficient staff.

Nicky, Glenn & family

The Build Of Our Family Dream Home

5 out of 5, reviewed on Oct 08, 2018

Very happy overall with the team at GJ Gardener Tamworth, from top quality workmanship to friendly staff to deal with, nothing was to much of a hassle. I would highly recommend the whole process from working with Chris in sales, Maz & Jay in admin, all the construction contractors, site supervisor Dan and finally Jez in QA. It was also much appreciated to be able to work in with the team to complete my own works including water tanks, concreting, earth works and the laying of turf before the handover date.

Thanks GJ Gardner Tweed.. we love our beach house!

5 out of 5, reviewed on Oct 08, 2018

We really love our new home! Thanks to Peter, Caren, Robyn, Mark and all the great tradies for a wonderful job. From consulting and design modifications through to the finished home we were kept informed on all aspects of the build and it was great to have the flexibility to personalise our Nelson Bay design to suit our lifestyle and design aesthetic. Even the challenge of building two separate homes on the same block and some challenging council requirements the GJ team sorted the issues and gave us two quality homes. Again thanks and well done to Peter and the team.

Our dream Home is now a reality

5 out of 5, reviewed on Oct 08, 2018

I contacted GJ Gardner Bacchus Marsh prior to even selling our first home. From the first phone call, the service we received was amazing. David helped with all my questions, there was never anything to hard.

Following the sale of our home, we secured a block and started the more formal discussions with GJ. Again, this process was smooth and all parties in particular David, Caitlin and Ben were all very accommodating, helpful and patient with my many changes.

Once construction commenced, again it was overall smooth sailing. Site Supervisor, Shane was helpful, kept us up to date and tried to accommodate any changes that he was able to do.

We have now been in our home for 3 weeks and are absolutely thrilled with the end result. We had a couple of cosmetic issues that were fixed straight away.

I highly recommend GJ BM! Great jobs guys and thanks again for making our dream a reality.

Everything was easy!

Everything was easy from start to finish. Bruce was so helpful during the planning stages and Grant & Katie have amazing attention to detail. We never felt like minor changes were a big deal and any concerns we had were actioned instantly.
The house has been built to high standard with very little to fault.
We were pregnant during the build and really pushed the deadline to be completed way earlier than expected, GJ Gardner Wodonga managed to do this with no compromise to the build standard, which we were so thankful for.

Would certainly build again through GJ Gardner Shoalhaven!

5 out of 5, reviewed on Oct 03, 2018

From the first part of contact to hand over of the property we were thrilled with GJ Gardner Homes Shoalhaven. The whole process was made easy and enjoyable and we certainly felt in safe hands.

The weekly communication, advice of what to expect at each level, advice of what would happen next, the quality of the workmanship, the time line, the estimated cost being a true value and the professionalism of the whole team; let alone the personal care each member of the team from administration to directors of the business expressed to us was far beyond our expectations. Thank you GJ Gardner Homes Shoalhaven, we would certainly build through you again!

The nicest house on the street!

G.J.Gardner have just been a fantastic company to deal with throughout our entire building process. We had a rough start with a previous builder, and G.J. Gardner went out of their way to help us create our dream home within our budget, and make it a reality. From beginning to end they were great to deal with, both the office staff and the builders themselves. The quality of our house structure, design and finish is such a high standard, it really stands out in our street. A big thank you to Kathryn and Kevin from G.J. Brisbane Northside & Bayside.

New Home Build 1st time was a wonderful process.

5 out of 5, reviewed on Sep 22, 2018

We had looked at 3 other big name builders and were not happy.
Matthew Johnson at G J Gardner was our sales consultant he was very easy to work with and always available to us.He made this process so easy for us no matter how many times we made changes. Matthew was the only sales man that could give us a finished price from the beginning. Our home was finished on time and as we pictured.
Beau Sheridan was our Build Supervisor. Beau and his team did any incredible job building our home.Everything was exactly as we wanted. Beau and his team were always polite and all their workmanship was excellent. He advised at every stage what would be done and when would be finished and was always correct. Would defiantly recommend G J Gardner to anyone. No hassle No arguing Easy building with. Matthew and Beau along with all the staff from Helensvale G J Gardner made building our home a very happy and enjoyable process. 5 star rating..

WE LOVE OUR NEW HOME!

5 out of 5, reviewed on Sep 22, 2018

GJ Gardner Orange were very approachable and easy to deal from the very beginning. We got initial estimated prices from them and these were very accurate with the final price (only slight variations from our choices). They were efficient and timely with getting information, quotes and designs to us from the very beginning. Once we got underway with the build they were absolutely on the ball with every aspect. We got weekly updates and any questions we had were answered immediately. A few very slight minor issues occurred during the build and Jake was immediately on it and getting it rectified. The house was built as if it was their own with no shortcuts and only the best quality. They finished and handed over at least a month ahead of schedule which was fantastic.
Jake and Fiona are an absolute asset to the GJ Gardner Orange team and they made our first build experience one of the easiest things we have done! We would build with them again in a heartbeat!
WE LOVE OUR NEW HOME!

Extremely happy with the way the building project was managed, particular as we were not living locally at the time. Very pleased with the quality and workmanship in the finished article. A few issues to deal with during and post construction but they were all attended to in a professional manor. Break-up of costs was well explained and variations well documented giving us options , so no surprises with the final cost of the home.

Has anyone recently built with G.J Gardner in Rockbank, VIC? If so, which branch and what was your experience?

Mel K asked on Oct 17, 2018

Answer this

Yes I have and they were brilliant. I was really impressed with attention to detail and the finished home looks like a custom build. I work in real estate and when you sell a gj gardener home buyers are often confident with them as builders.

Michelle Winckle replied on Oct 19, 2018

Hi, is it GJ Gardner policy to pay the final payment upfront before the house is even started?

AussieFrog asked on Sep 27, 2018

Answer this

G.J. Gardner Homes Official

Hi AussieFrog, you'll have to provide a little more detail what you mean? Normally we use the standard industry progress claims set out by the HIA and MBA industry bodies. Often when a buyer has no bank security behind them (i.e. a cash buyer) we'll ask for some sort of proof and security that you actually have the finances to complete the build (for your own sake as well as ours!). Best regards, Eddie

G.J. Gardner Homes replied on Sep 27, 2018

Hi Eddie, yes I'm self funded, I realise that GJ Gardner want a guarantee, but where's the guarantee for the customer, what if the last inspection is not satisfactory? They might turn around and ignore my request as they have been paid! The contact doesn't stipulate that the final payment has to be paid up front, and according to consumer affairs, department of justice, this is an illegal demand. I already send my bank statement to show that the money is available. Very disappointed with this issue.

AussieFrog replied on Sep 28, 2018

Thanks for mentioning this AussieFrog, we are currently looking at building with GJG, and also self funded. After building previously with a company that went into liquidation, we will not pay final payment in advance, looks like i have to take GJG off my list, shame...
