Absolutely Love Our New Home built by G.J. Gardner
With our discussion to retire in the country after many years working in Adelaide we decided to build a new home on the block that we purchased some five years ago . We had a fair idea of what we wanted and when we sat with Meg and a slab layout was shown to us which suited what we required and the changes were so easy for Meg to present exactly what we wanted within the price range . Any issues were minor and dealt with without issue, this is the third home we have built and this one is by far the best quality, we love it . As for cost to the estimate any variation was our idea and pricing was reasonable, we ran a budget and it was easily met. We can only thank Meg, Rob and the team for the best home we have ever had .

Our forever home
We started this process with a solid plan of what we wanted but absolutely no idea of how to bring it to life, fortunately for us we chose GJ Gardner Riverland as they have been amazing.
From the first meeting to handover day the whole team have been fantastic, nothing was ever too much trouble, any issues (which were few) were dealt with promptly and we were always kept in the loop.
Our site foreman (Jason) was awesome, always made time for us and happy to answer our million questions. The tradesmen were incredible and took pride in there wor...Read more
k which is definitely reflected in the outcome. Overall it has been a wonderful experience and we are extremely proud and grateful of our new home. Thank you to the whole team at GJ Gardner Riverland for bringing our dream to life.

Fantastic first build. Fantastic first experience.
This build was mine and my fiances first build. Heidi kept updated weekly on the progress of the build. Britt was excellent to deal with in regards to the floor plan and selections. Rod's communication was excellent, he met us at the site quite often to discuss the happenings of the build. All our questions were answered well. During the build we hit a couple of issues with our soil report which meant we needed extra footings put into the concrete, and the septic needed extra work. But these were at no fault of GJ, it was simply where we chose to build! We admittedly went over our budget, but again no fault of GJ, we made many changes to the original plan :)

We love our new home!
We chose GJ Gardner Homes Riverland due to the solid reputation of the professional & friendly team in the Renmark office, combined with the high quality local tradesman. They guided us through the minefield of options available these days for all parts of the build, including colour selections. We honestly couldn’t have done it without them & are thrilled with the final result.

Early Christmas Present
My partner and I never thought we would be able to build and now we are stoked to have a beautiful home that we get to call our own! The team G.J Gardner Naracoorte/Mount Gambier have been amazing from start to finish. Meg was very helpful with the planning stage ensuring that we knew exactly what they had included in our quote. Throughout the build we have had regular updates from the staff in the office but also regular site visits with the supervisors Rod & Chris. We were able to meet with them regularly on site and any questions or concerns...Read more
we had were answered in a timely manner. The trades were friendly and always great to work with. We are a week from our handover date and we could not be more impressed with the quality of work in our home. My partner and I stressed at the start of the build that we were in a rush to get in our home before Christmas and G.J's have managed to make that happen! We cannot recommend G.J Gardner Homes Naracoorte/Mount Gambier enough to our family and friends. The quality is second to none and it honestly shows in their work.1 comment

So glad we chose GJ!
The whole process was smooth and stress free from start to finish. Quality products and quality service. Any complications were solved quickly with a friendly chat and without issue. Change of mind or ideas were easy and staff offered small changes which has made all the difference. Final cost was nearly spot on! Extra special thank you to Glen for his friendly and easy going manner. Always kept us in the loop, quick to respond to any questions or complications. Thank you so much GJ Riverland, we love our new home.

Pleasant experience from start to finish.
I chose to build with GJ as they had a good reputation. Right from my first consult to the end of completion, everything was handled professionally and with smiling helpful staff. I love everything about my new home. I stuck to a budget and the team at GJ were helpful in ideas and ways to stick to my budget. I'm very happy with the workmanship, looks better then I imagined. Thank you to everyone involved.

First build. Very happy with our new home.
Being the first time building a home, it was all very nerve racking. We had contacted a few local builders for quotes but GJ Gardners Naracoorte were the most prompt and professional. Meg found us the perfect plan to suit our family, with a price to suit our budget. The build was managed well by Rod with hardly any hiccups. Overall we are very happy with our new home. Thank you.

First home
We built our first home with GJ Gardner and we have absolutely had an amazing experience. From our very first day we met with Brittany we just knew GJ was the right builder for us. Brittany was absolutely fantastic she made the whole process easy for us always answered our million questions and if we where unsure she always made the process easy! Brittany made us feel so comfortable to talk to and was outgoing and bubbly which made it even better. The build went great no major set backs. The whole Process was smooth. Heidi in the office was ju...Read more
st a great she sent updated emails every Friday informing us what was happening each week. She always answered our questions and helped the process when we had our doubts. Everyone was just so friendly and professional. Every minor issue was also fixed straight away no hassles what so ever. Rod was also professional and made us feel comfortable. We are so happy with our first ever build and its now a home! Everything just ran so smooth no hassles what so ever. The one thing I can only comment on is I think they should allow the excess dirt left over from the build should be put in the contract so the back yard/front yards are all flat ready to go for the landscaping.. as we had a massive pile of dirt left over... but thats the only thing I comment on. The price was great suited us nicely as we built our first home so it was all new for us. GJ had a nice deal where it had the paths around the house, driveway, aircon, blinds, clothesline included in one of the packages and it was to good not to take. The builders where great too they communicated with me and kept me in the loop to.. which was great and asked me before putting things in just in case it wasnt right which was very good of them. Highly recommend GJ GARDNER we cant wait to build again with them in the future.1 comment

Living the dream.
I have known about GJ Gardner for many years having lived in Nth Qld where the company originated and they were very popular. Now living in Cape Jaffa we decided to build with them. Our consultant, Chris, was very patient and guided us through every aspect of the building. It was a pleasure to work with him. I was impressed with management as in choosing the tradespeople. Rod selected the best of them and after hearing from other people we found that they had very good reputations in the area therefore the workmanship was of a high standa...Read more
rd. Our house was difficult to build at times with the inclement weather but the tradespeople handled it professionally and with a high degree of safety. The framework of the house was explained to us by Rod about the double strength thus giving us confidence with the extreme weather at times that our house will be safe. Overall we are extremely happy with the final product. The finishing touches are above average and our home is very comfortable and a pleasure to live in. The final cost came in as expected which we were very happy with.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Our Perfect First Build!
It was our first time building and we found GJ Gardner Naracoorte/ Mount Gambier to be incredibly helpful. They were able to accomodate all of our ideas whilst suggesting new ones and able to fit a plan around our needs and within budget. Rod and the team were continually keeping us updated with any changes or questions to make sure that it was exactly what we wanted. When changes were made they were actioned within the day. We absolutely love our new home and can't thank them enough for our perfect first build.

Very Happy with our New Home
We have been living in our new home for around three months now and couldn't be happier. When we first went to Rod & Meg in Naracoorte with our own plans, they were nothing but accommodating in seeing them through to the end. They were also very price competitive and their customer service and follow up was exceptional compared to other builders we have dealt with.
There was several times during the build that we changed our mind (and some of the plan) but it was never too hard for them to help us. It was great to have Rod's knowledge a...Read more

What a wonderful team
As first time home builders, we found that the entire project was well managed by great staff at Renmark. We chose them because of their friendliness and welcoming approach. It was apparent that this business has a genuine family feel about it. All of our queries along the way were handled cheerfully and to our satisfaction.
As the build progressed any alterations deemed necessary were readily addressed.
We are extremely happy to be living in a home that flows so easily through all the spaces and would absolutely recommend GJ Gardner's Riverland to any prospective home builders. Thank you.

Couldn't be happier!
We would like to thank GJ Gardner Homes Riverland for building our new home. From the very beginning of a dream to the beautiful reality; all of the team helped us in a professional and caring manner. The build was managed very well and we feel we were involved every step of the way. We were always given indication of when things would be happening next in the process. The workmanship is fantastic and the quality of our home is excellent. There were no issues too big or small that couldn't be fixed. We never felt an inconvenience. We were informed of all costs up front and warned if any variances would be required. We would highly recommend the Riverland GJ Gardener Home team. Couldn't be happier!

Overall very happy with our home!
We had a unique situation with our land subdivision which GJ helped a lot to have it moving forward. We had to wait for our slab for a little longer than we hoped and there were a few hold ups at the beginning of the build but we were in a hurry due to the pending birth of our first born, otherwise the customer care was second to none. Helen in the front office was absolutely incredible, she helped to ease my mind on a daily with any concerns. I can't explain enough how amazing she was to deal with. Sam was extremely helpful throughout the build process and we felt lucky to have his ongoing care. If I built again I would not hesitate to choose GJ once more. Amber

Terrible
Everything [name removed] said and more. Couldn't make building a house any more difficult. Extremely unethical conduct regarding the timing and demands for progress payments to be made, issuing of stop works notice without justification and threats to charge interest. I also had to waste money on a lawyer. Heaps of things remain unfinished on my home and they never fixed the maintenance defects, even though hand over was some time ago. I communicated all this to GJ head office along the way and they never got back to me on any of it.
