What a quality built home
I could not be any happier with my GJ Gardner home. The quality of my build was outstanding. Right from the very day I stepped foot inside GJ Gardner homes Kingaroy I knew it was a good choice, Myles and Cara were extremely helpful right from the start, from designs all the way through handover and beyond. Being my first home and first build it ran seamlessly. Thanks guys for making my build an absolute dream

Terrible
We are very disappointed with the quality of the work carried out and certainly would not reccommend that anyone build with GJ Gardner (Kingaroy) if this is the best they offer. Quality indeed! I don't think so. I certainly agree with "birdlover" who - on 15 May 2010 - wrote about very limited selection of product. Unfortunately we had a very tight budget so could not really do anything about that. I guess the final straw was finding the undermined piers. It's quite distressing. If anyone ever asked me about a reccommendation for GJ Gard...Read more
ner then I would have to tell them very frankly of our experience, which was not at all pleasant, beyond dealing with the initial salesman. Having built 2 homes ourselves we thought we would have our new home built for us this time. In September 2008 we began the process of finding a reputable builder who would build a quality home at a fair price. We thought we had found a builder in GJ Gardner, who appeared to have a good reputation and the salesman was very convincing. He delivered quotes etc. on time and we signed a contract. Salesman was very good, very pleasant and courteous at all times. He did a good job. The work started in December 2008 and was completed(?) May 2009. The franchisee has absolutely no communication skills. He's a fast talker, but that is all I can say, often telling different stories about same things. After the recent heavy rains we have found that the foundation piers are exposed. No problem - that can easily be fixed. The problem arises from the very shoody workmanship as shown by photos which I took today. There are blobs of concrete on top of the ground, but piers underneath are very poor quality. The top dressing concrete work is approximately 450mm diameter, but the piers underneath are not much more than 250 - 300mm. The workmen tried to complete all piers on the one day, but ran into trouble when the concrete began to dry out faster than they could do the work. Work was left half done. Meantime there was some rain and mud washed onto the partially completed piers. No cleanup tookm place before more concrete was pour on top of what was already done. Our house is built on steel piers and these had to be modified in many instances so that there would be some sort of level working area. A good number of piers had to be cut off as they were left too high, but otheres were too low and also needed modifications. (My husband did some work on the piers where welding needed to be done for desired result.) When the workmen were putting in the steel piers they hammered them so hard that they were distorted. Unfortunately this is typical of the whole job. Very poor supervision and overall work. There are many faults with our house and even though we brought these to the attention of the franchisee nothing was done to correct the problems. All we got were excuses and fob-offs.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
