Quality
We were very pleased with the outcome and quality of the workmanship. There were very few issues, but the ones that arose were promptly and very efficiently dealt with. Everyone was always very helpful and friendly, from admin staff to the owner. Representative, Erin, always helped where she could and it was a pleasure working with the project manager,John.

Excellent first home buyer experience
My wife and I were first home buyers and it was a year ago during the start of our build journey, when we found ourselves confused to understand home construction jargons everytime we talk to sales consultant. We were very lucky to meet Les Johnson from GJ Gardner Gold Coast. Les is very passionate about helping family build their dream home. Les help us understand what it needs to build a house. He also listened to us on what we really wanted and recommended what needs to be adjusted. He never left us hanging when we have questions or concerns...Read more
. From start to finish, he was right there to guide us, making sure that we were happy with the house. It doesn't stop from there even after the house got handover, Les still communicates to us. He still helped and recommend a lot of things with regards to our house. I think he is the only Sales Consultant who genuinely cares about his client. Overall, we are very happy with the build. It was efficient and hassle free . It only took roughly 3.5-4 months for them to build our new home. To all the other staff of GJ Gardner Gold Coast, special mention to Ash and James as well. Thank you! We love our new home. P.S. to James, dont forget our clothesline =) We highly recommend GJ Gardner if you are looking to build your dream home.1 comment

Many Thanks To Tony Lockland At Brisbane Northlakes Display
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.

In general, we were very happy with [name removed], [name removed] and [name removed]. They provided outstanding service and made us very happy customer. However, the office tried to manipulate and bully us into paying for services not stated in the fixed price contract, this was totally unprofessional. And for this reason we will not recommend GJ North Brisbane.1 comment

The Building Dream
After renovating and selling our first home, we were keen to give building a try. We spoke to friends and family who had built before to start the research for local builders and gather some information about the building process. Most of our friends and family who had built before encourgaed us not to build saying things like, "building was the most stressful experience of my life." It's safe to say that building with GJ Gardner Homes has been one of the most positive, productive and professional expereicnes of my life. The team at GJ were pro...Read more
fessional, efficient, honest and approachable. We have truly enjoyed every moment of the building experience and I know it is because we went with a trusted, professional, reputable builder who was available to answer any questions or queries that we had along the way. The attention to deatil throughout our home is exceptional. Our home has been carefully built with each small detail considered. Our sincere thanks to the team at GJ Gardner North (Cummins Constructions) for building us our dream home. I would encourage anyone who is consdering building their next home to build with GJ Gardner.1 comment

Great first home buying & building experience!
The build of our first home was fantastic! The team a GJ Gardner made sure we always knew what was going on, even came in under budget with added extras! Our amazing consultant Hayley took all of our requests and plan changes in her stride, nothing was too much trouble. From the admin girls, to the site supervisor and all the contractors in between it was an easy and enjoyable experience!

Awesome First Home Buyer Experience!!
I am a first home owner and this review may be a long but an honest one as I intend to cover all aspects of my entire journey with GJ Gardner Gold Coast North (Cummins Constructions) to make my dream home project a reality. Years before even I dared to dream, I was doing Market Research on various local and national builders. I did not consider GJG-GCN seriously at that time. Forward to a few years later, I was somehow able to buy a plot of land and ready to finalise a builder. This would be the biggest financial commitment for myself like for ...Read more
many others and pressure on me to get it right. There will be plenty of stories online as to how it can affect the first homeowner if not building with the right builder. In my due process of vetting out each builder, by being very thorough of what inclusions are offered along with price quotes. I even looked up each offered item online and understand how good it stacks up with other builder’s range. This was before meeting with sales consultants of various builders. I now had a list of builders display homes and offices to visit. Sales Consultant Experience: It was then I happened to come across Mat Dagg at Pacific Cove, Pimpama. Wow, I was simply blown off by him. No amount of words will do justice to his genuine work. There is something charming about old school heartfelt respect for people that Mat exudes. You will never feel any air of assumed authority or superiority which I have seen with other sales consultants, nor any convincing tactics. I had few consultants who outright tried to get me sign contract, tried to justify how superior they are compared to other builders and even not being taken seriously at what I wanted. This is why I found Mat refreshing. Who would discuss hours with you even when you tell that my idea is to build with another builder? Who would invest such time and energy to make sure you, as a potential customer still end up being benefitted. It became evident that Mat Dagg is going to be the person I trust my home with. Then there came plenty of changes to build plans, which never was an issue and took all my concerns. Suggested and made changes while leaving you satisfied. I once dropped unannounced to his office and with a smile made changes even though it was late evening on Weekend. To put it in simple terms, Mat was the reason I signed a contract with GJG. Guess I was not all surprised to see him gain recognition for making 200 house starts with GJG. Selections Process and Communications: A company is only as great as the people who work. Everyone deserves recognition for the hard work they put in. Jade Cox from the Admin team deserves mention here as perfect communication was maintained taking me through all the steps. It’s an important process for a new home builder. I never felt anxious as GJG literally took care of everything. All my email Enquiries were promptly patiently answered. Keep up the good work. Building Process: After Mat, another impressive person I met is Beau Sheridan, our building supervisor. If Mat is the mind of the project, then Beau deserves to be the heart. With a person like Beau supervising building process, there will be really no need for even site visits or inspections by the homeowner that occurs at various stages. His work commitment can be taken for granted. I have received updates on the building process EVERY WEEK without fail. I will probably be thankful for years to come for getting Beau as a supervisor. Very easy to get along with and a great person. Thank you for everything Beau.1 comment

Home build with GJ Gardner Goldcoast
After much research and review reading we opted for GJ Gardner Gold Coast as our builder for our 4 bed & study single story home as they had by far the best reviews from 1000's of customers. Our Sales Consultant Mat Dagg was exceptional and always available to assist. Our site manager Aaron was also extremely helpful and contactable whenever we needed to call him. Ashlee and Rachel in the office were easy to deal with and answered emails quickly and efficiently. The completed home is beautiful and finished to a very high standard. We would highly recommend this company to anyone considering building their own home. If we ever build again we will without a doubt go back to GJ Gardner Gold Coast.

G.J.Gardner Gold coast is cheap quality builder
We recently build with G.J.Gardner Helensvale and our experience with G.J.Gardner was terrible especially with their office staff and guy named [name removed] who believed to be a franchise owner if I am not wrong. If I have a option I would upload the pics here but on their google page I will for sure which they said to me are all correct and according the contract and QBCC guideline. which contract says to leave the paint on windows, unfixed handrails, uneven porch floor, mis paints, miss skirtings and overall use cheap quality material espec...Read more
ially when you charge someone for top quality material. When we sign up we told them to finish with high end standard which we had to pay extra and yes we did. We even paid extra for roof insulations to stop noise form top floor which was never put in, nor give us the money back for that. I called their office and guy named [name removed] I believe he is the franchise owner said to me that we build your house as per the contract and qbcc guidelines. My suggestion to all people reading their good reviews please please do not build with gj gardner Helensvale. Look for other cheap builders because after paying good money you will still get cheaper product and I am doubted all of these good reviews are fake as I believed them when I choose this builder. You please don't choose them or just do a bit more search. I hope I will get justice from their head office because I worked hard to build my dram home which is still dream even after paying $900000. I have only attached few pics as website allowed me but list is long.2 comments

Mat Dagg & James Askew - Dynamic GJ Gardner Duo!!
We narrowed down our builders’ choices to GJ Gardner & one other local builder however, Mat Dagg won us over with his superb positive attitude and his “NEVER SAY NO” approach. Mat was a very professional consultant right from the start till the end of our building process. He understood what we wanted to create & ...... brought it to life - what a floorplan! Being a custom build, we were never going to be easy to please, but Mat worked tirelessly to help create our dream home. His communication was spot on and he was always only a phone call aw...Read more

We cannot speak highly enough of G J Gardner and we absolutely love our new home."
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
design and her ability to make changes to the plan to accommodate our wishes was brilliant. Her guidance was greatly appreciated and her availability, whenever we needed to discuss things with her was fantastic. The transition from dealing with Kathryn during planning, to dealing with Bridgette in the office and Dennis, our building Supervisor was smooth and completely seamless. Bridgette’s coordination of our build was fantastic. At all times she kept us informed and clarified any matters that needed attention. On every occasion Bridgette responded in a timely manner.1 comment

Perfect home for me, more than my expectations
My house was very well built and excellent in quality. All the construction work was performed correctly. Moreover, all the G.J. gardner staff members were very polite and helpful. Mr.Russell guided me in perfect way to choose the plan and i will also appreciate the job of supervisor Tim he also did very well supervision during the construction work. Not only this, the contract manager Bridgette gave her best to build my house. She helped me to solve all the problems during the contract. At the end i am totally satisfied with contract of my house with G.J. gardner homes because of their great service quality and their deadlines.

Not satisfied!
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
in total. We were planning our Xmas and New Year in our lovely new home but unfortunately we missed both. There was not notice of delay received. During the building period, I experienced change of site supervisor three time which I will not appreciate because I am not sure if the next SS knows exactly what has happened and is going to happen to my home. After handover, 1. The Refrigerator space - we have been told any fridge can be fit in the space so we bought a big fridge (pretty sure not the biggest one). It can not be fit in! We cant leave it there blocking the walkway so we have to take the overhead cupboard door of and cut them to let the fridge go in.3 comments

The build process with GJ Gardner has been smooth, uncomplicated and the end product is of high quality. From contracting stage through to post construction, the sales, finance, customer service, design, build and vendor teams have been fantastic. We were well informed every step of the way. The finished home was delivered well ahead of schedule and within budget. Any snags were prioritised and fixed quickly. Would recommend to anyone looking to build their next beautiful home.

We are looking at building in Maroochydore or Yandina and choosing a builder at the moment. Does anyone have up to date reviews of GJ Gardner Sunshine Coast North for Yandina or South for Maroochydore. How do they compare with Coral or Plantation homes?

Steph E.G.J. Gardner Homes
Hi Charlie,
I won't speak on behalf of the clients but each office has a page on here dedicated to reviews for their area, perhaps ask one of them? Sunshine Coast South has had two reviews as recently as a few weeks ago so I'm confident they would respond to you if you asked them anything you needed to :)
Thanks, best of luck in your building journey.
