Initially, Matt Sands was referred to me by a close friend, and as I was living on the other side of the world, I sent my father to meet him. After speaking to him a number of times on the phone, and going by my father’s comments, I was confident with my selection of a quality builder. Upon building our home on 4 Norman Street, we have found him to be exceptional in quality, patience and perseverance. Matt assisted us with the design and managed to save us significantly which we could then put towards better finishes and enabled us to upgrade the pool living areas. Matt has been responsible for the building works associated with the total rehabilitation/renovation of our property. I have demanded a high specification for all of the building work, in particular finishes and fittings. I have been continuously impressed by Matt’s and his subcontractor’s very high standard of workmanship and for his attention to detail. As I was unable to make certain selections for this property, there were a number of choices that I left to his discretion, all of which I have been very impressed. Furthermore Matt has the ability to develop practical solutions for problems associated with reconstruction of building works, particularly when we were not able to view and talk through a practical solution. We were kept up to date and informed throughout every stage via international calls and a ‘blog’ that was set up for us to view photos, brochures, and sketch plans . Matt offered fresh new ideas, ones that we hadn’t thought of, and we felt he dealt with the project as though it was his own. We would have absolutely no hesitation to in recommending Matt Sands for involvement in the design or construction of your new home.

In 2009 we started to investigate various builders to build us a house. We enlisted the services of Matt Sands very early in our overall design process. His objective was not to build us a house but a home; something that we would be proud of and that we would enjoy living in. Being fussy owners we needed a builder that would understand what we were after and also our level of standard requirements. Matt met this without hesitation. From the initial plans he was able to identify problems that could arise and helped us adjust the design and rectify these problems. The building process can be a very stressful one and often many questions would arise. Matt was always able to answer every question with accuracy and in a timely manner. Every tradesperson that Matt employed for the job carried out their work to a standard that met or exceeded our expectations. Often during the process Matt had to make decisions on our behalf. In all cases he chose what he would do if it was his house, and not once were we disappointed with the choices he made. We have no hesitation in recommending Matt as a builder to anyone that is looking to build. The final outcome for us is that Matt and his team of people have built not just another house but something that one would be proud to call their HOME! The attention to detail that all have shown in producing this home is shown in the final product and all that have participated on the project can be proud of the work that they have done.
