Testimonials

Hear what some of our happy clients have said about us:


I recently undertook a major repair of my house in Leopold after a fire caused by an electrical fault.

My house is a 20 Sq. open plan 3 bedroom house with a mix of rammed earth & stud walls with a curved roof, and passive solar design – so there were several non-standard details to contend with.

The fire gutted the laundry and spread through the roof causing damage that together with other heat and smoke damage required replacing part of the roof & stud walls, plus all the electrical & plumbing, cabinetry, fixtures & finishes etc.

I undertook the work as owner builder and engaged McNeil Builders as the professional builders for my project after seeing their work on a friend’s renovation nearby. Craig and his team did excellent work, but he also helped me with :

  • costing and scheduling the various stages of the work
  • recommending and sourcing excellent subcontractors for the assoc. roofing, plumbing, electrical,
  • windows & doors, cabinetry and finishes etc.
  • providing practical advice on details and finishes as the work progressed

All work was completed on time and within my budget to a very high standard.

I am extremely pleased with the result and happy to recommend McNeil Builders for such work.

McNeil Builders completed a quality job on our home renovations. Our family home was completed changed internally and a new deck was added.

Craig and his team are very talented builders. They are thorough and the work that Craig produces is of a high standard. The finishing touches look stylish and are just what we were after.

McNeil Builders were always on time, and Craig likes to be organised. He plans in advance, works off a schedule and coordinates his team of tradesman very well.

I was able to trust Craig as he always did what he said he would and there were times when he went above and beyond to help me. We  really appreciated that help. The team transformed our 3 bed 1950 weather board house into a very practical and livable home.

The greatest benefit for us as the homeowner was the amount of time the McNeil Builders team saved me as they coordinated the project very well and they delivered the quality result we’re after.

These two points combined to very much reduced all the stress of renovating for me. My wife and I highly recommend McNeil Builders and thank them sincerely for everything they have done for our family.
