Today has marked exactly 6 months since GJ Gardner North and Bayside did handover our beautiful house. We are extremely happy living in the house since then. We have a pleasant building experience. The journey took longer than expected but we are really pleased with the end result.

No one is perfect in this whole world. Yes, we had few moments where we felt bit low / slow with the process but the quality of service and standards we received at the end are extremely satisfying.

We would like to thank Sales Consultant Blake for his inputs and ...Read more

We found our dream land and decided to go to GJ Gardner Northlakes Display to see if we can find our dream home as well. We met [name removed] and he gave us a nice house plan under our budget as requested, it was not long and we decided to go ahead with the dream house. All along, [name removed] was so helpful, not only as a Sales man at the start, but he always offered to help along the way, and up until the build was finished. [name removed] always followed up with his promises and did the best he could for us as the customers. We think [nam...Read more

We moved into our new GJ Gardner home 6 weeks ago and we couldn’t be happier.
From the very first meeting with the sales representative, Kathryn Salas to the completion of the build we had excellent service.The final cost of our build was decided before signing the contract and came in on budget, perhaps even a little less.

During the planning phase, Kathryn guided and assisted us in a professional manner. She listened to all our constant requests, and at times, frequent changes of mind to the plan and inclusions. Her knowledge of the build ...Read more

We recently had our house built by GJ Gardner Strathpine and we can not thank the team enough! From the moment we stepped into the display houses at the Stocklands North Lakes display village and spoke with Tony Lockland we knew we were in good hands. Being first time home owners the thought of the build process can be quite overwhelming but Tony looked after us and fully explained the whole process to us which really put our minds at ease.
Moving on from sales to the admin side of things Amy was amazing! She was 100% on top of everything and ...Read more

We decided to use GJ because the word the sales told us: "we are not like other project builders, we are actually builders ourselves."
During the negotiation of the plan, just after one week, the sales resigned and we are assigned to a new sales. I have to say both sales are fairly helpful to me as a first time home builder.

I signed the contract in November 2017. The actual building process starts in April 2018 and finally finished at the last day of Feb. From I received the commencement letter to the Practical completion, it takes 304 days ...Read more

GJ Gardner lived up to its review rating. From the initial planning, by Anthony, to the final inspection and follow up after the build, the people at GJ Gardner fulfilled their promise to support us every step of the way. Including the follow-up after the completion of the build.

Our supervisors always made time when we needed to speak to them or required information about the progress of the build. The tradesman employed by GJ Gardner, who attended our build, were equally great in their approach and their willingness to fulfill our requests...Read more

The quality of the build was excellent and this was down to the Construction Manager, Dennis Whaley who was a perfectionist and ensured every detail was correct. He had a no-nonsense approach, which I personally liked and we established a good working relationship. He was very helpful and nothing was too much trouble. I would also like to acknowledge Tony Lockland who was at the sales point in the display home I visited at North Lakes and he was also very helpful and nothing was too much trouble. All my questions were answered and being as this...Read more

We chose GJ Gardner (Northside) to build our new home as our daughter had her first home built by them and had a very positive experience and we were quite impressed by the whole process from sales lady (Kathryn Salas) through to completion.
Our home was a custom build and the GJ team stayed faithful to our plan but made sensible and impressive improvements. There were, of course, minor problems along the way and these were all dealt with in a timely and satisfactory manner. Having said that, I would caution people to really check the plan...Read more

I am very please to say that I had an ideal building experience with G. J. Gardner homes North and Bayside. From the sales person, Tony Lockland at North Lakes display village, to Amy Hage, the administration guru, Zac our payment and other contact person in the office, to Kevin Burrows the site supervisor, they all treated a single female building for the first time, with respect and made my experience a very personable one. Never did I ever feel that I wasn't their number one priority. They listened to my requests for some changes in the b...Read more

As a single female, the thought of building a new home on my own was a daunting thought.
I initially engaged a different medium sized building company, but due to inconsistent contact with them over countless weeks, ended my experience.
A good friend of mine recommended that I call G J Gardner Homes North and Redlands as they had previously had a great experience building with them. I spoke to the Sales Manager Martin Donovan who put me in touch with Tony Lockland, a new Home Sales Consultant at their Northlakes display home. Tony spent a n...Read more

We built our second house with GJ Gardner North Brisbane. The build quality did not meet basic building standards and we almost ended up in a legal dispute.

Poor works included large gaps in external fixings, non fixed gutters, loose brickwork, and half siliconed expansion joints. They issued variations without approval and invoices for incomplete works. They finished all internal works (plaster/paint/cabinetry/etc) without starting brickwork and reaching lock-up. The build process fell just short of the penalty rates and they attempted to ...Read more

Our experience with GJ Gardner Brisbane North has been anything but smooth. We’re not normally ones to complain, but we feel that it’s important to share our experience with other potential clients so that they know what they’re in for if they choose to build with GJ Gardner North Brisbane. We commenced our build process in late 2015 and have only just had everything finalised now (Nov 2017) after our 1 year check took place in May 2017.
It is important to add that we are thoroughly satisfied with the quality of the build with only minor issu...Read more

My journey started with buying a beautiful lot in Newport QLD. A Stockland development and months after my purchase it is turning out to be everything they promised.
The next step was to choose a builder that l can work with to create my vision for a new home. I looked closely at Metricon Homes, Plantation Homes & G J Gardner Homes all of them had their strengths and over a few weeks l put them through there paces.

I found the sales professional Tony at the North Lakes Display to be exceptional with custom designing my new home. He listene...Read more

We went to GJ Gardner after tangling with another builder...sat down with the Sales Rep Gavin, who was upfront and didn't embellish the capabilities of his company. Much appreciated.

Located a design we wanted and then assisted with the modifications.

Pricing of build and variations was fair

Quality of build is good, however would not recommend that painting contractor used for too much as quality of final finish is average in some areas

We were kept informed of all steps and invited to the property throughout the build

This sums up my experience with GJ Gardner:

*They took 7 weeks to complete the initial plans and revised sales estimate after claiming that it would take 2-3 weeks.
*In the meantime they'd sited the building too close to the front boundary (in spite of my initial discussion with the salesman about achieving compliance with the Small Lot Code) and had spent time redrafting.
*The salesman initially proposed a site works arrangement that involved a piered slab supported at the perimeter on blockwork retaining, but the revised sales estimate r...Read more
