Testimonials

Honest work, lasting results

"What an amazing company to deal with! Nigel is just awesome in listening to dreams and then converting them into something even better than we could have imagined! His guys could not have been more professional in their work ethic and output and our house looks amazing as a consequence. Nigel and his team have delivered what they said they would on time and on budget and I look forward to working with them again on future projects."

Maree C

New build

"Stellar team, Stellar work! We embarked on building a minor dwelling on our property. From the get go, Nigel and his team (Josh and Mitch) were professional and responsive. Nigel is genuine and honest in his word which speaks to his credibility as a professional. He ensured communication with both his people, other tradesmen and us was seamless. The team completed the project within the scope of our budget, expectations and timeframes, no last minute surprises or changes. Very pleased with our experience. Look forward to working on more projects in the future."

Total Build's builders and Owners were 100% professional at all times and did a FANTASTIC job making the alterations. They came within budget and early finish! Would highly recommend Total Build for any work you are considering, very fair prices and wonderful, trustworthy people."
