Custom build without any fuss
We were looking for a company to do a custom build and G J Gardner were very accommodating. We even changed from our own design to a combination of some of their own and this was never a problem. Their sales rep (Karen) was patient and helpful during the design and the building supervisor (Luke) was very inclusive with my many on-site visits and our attention to detail. The house is well finished and we a very happy with the result. The project was on time and on budget and all the staff were friendly and professional. We would recommend this team to anybody considering building their first home or investment property.

Home Among the Gum Trees
As first time new house builders we had visited many display homes and we liked the look of the G J Gardner plans with many options and a flexible attitude towards our needs. We believe our build experience was well managed, G J Gardner's staff who were all very pleasant to deal with and attentive to our inquiries each and every time. The workmanship was very good and the quality of our home is very high. We must admit there were times when things were not quite as we had imagined along the way, but that happens at times when home building. At...Read more
each time this happened it was sorted super quickly and always with a ambition going the extra mile to make sure that we the customer were satisfied with the results. Special mention to Grant our site supervisor and sales executive Jade on such an excellent job they did during our design construction processes. We like others had received a special gift on completion of a basket quality products a very nice touch when we and G J Gardener team had spent so much time over twelve months together working through every detail in developing our first build new house project.

Quality, efficient, value for money local builders
The team at GJ Gardner Wodonga are professional and efficient in working with you from start to finish. In particular, praise must be given to Bruce (sales) and Grant (supervisor) who ensured the job was on-track, and managed to the highest standard. The girls in the office (Katie and Pauline) were terrific in accommodating the initial paperwork and ensuring all details were accounted for prior to commencement. All-in-all a great experience. Highly recommend.

Jade and the team go well above and beyond standard customer service at GJ Wodonga
My partner and I have recently moved into our beautiful brand new home courtesy of G.J Gardner's in Wodonga. First off, I must say that Jade Dittko is a credit to your company as her customer service and friendly demeanour upon visiting the display home in White Box Rise is the sole reason I had chosen to build with G.J. Nothing was too much work and she was the only one out of all the display homes I visited through other companies that actually offered to accompany me on my walk through and explain the process and inclusions. Fast forward to ...Read more
18 months of her sticking it out with us as clients as we had delay after delay with our land development (through no fault of G.J), Jade continued to go above and beyond with her service the entire time. With just a short 4 month build, our site supervisor Luke Bissett has done an incredible job in ensuring we have moved into a quality home in such a short time (after such a long wait for the land) and very accommodating the entire duration. We were gifted with a welcome basket of high quality goods that an obvious genuine thought went into, which we are very appreciative and thankful for. Big thanks to Jade for making it feel like such a personal journey as she really does take excellent care of you as a client.1 comment

Absolutely amazing first home build experience with the Wodonga Office
I would like to thank Bruce Stewart and the rest of the team at GJ Gardner Wodonga for making my first building process smooth and hassle free. Bruce was fantastic, he went out of his way to accomodate any change requests and helpful with suggestions during the quote and design process. The build quality and workmanship was amazing and the build was finished well before the expected time. From the very first moment I stepped into the sales office, through to walking into my newly completed home at handover, I knew I had chosen the best to build my home. I would highly recommend the Wodonga office to anyone wanting to build their dream home.

Stress free
It was spot on, what I was quoted was what I paid. There was no variance, very happy.
They kept me up to date with where the build was at, with emails and photos.
Jade from the Wodonga office was extremely helpful and guided me through the whole process, she made it so easy for me .
I would absolutely build with GJ Gardner again, no doubts at all.

Everything was easy!
Everything was easy from start to finish. Bruce was so helpful during the planning stages and Grant & Katie have amazing attention to detail. We never felt like minor changes were a big deal and any concerns we had were actioned instantly.
The house has been built to high standard with very little to fault.
We were pregnant during the build and really pushed the deadline to be completed way earlier than expected, GJ Gardner Wodonga managed to do this with no compromise to the build standard, which we were so thankful for.

Great, easy to build with
Very happy with new house from GJ Gardner Wodonga. They had a large number of plans to choose from. They came recommended and didn’t disappoint. There is a quality finish throughout. For someone who hadn’t built a new house before they made the whole process from start to finish very easy. I was kept informed each week as to what was happening. I changed a few items along the way and there was never a problem doing so. Would recommended them to other people looking to build.

Beautiful New Home
Our home is beautiful, the workmanship and build quality was fantastic on our property. Customer service was wonderful from the start with Bruce helping us choose the design and assisting us to change it to our vision. The build was well managed by Grant and I was kept up to date all the way along. Our home was ready a month before expected. The amazing support staff in the Wodonga office were always helpful with queries and advice.

Thanks for bringing the dream back.
After loosing our home in a house fire, and then a long drawn out Insurance battle for settlement, we contacted Bruce at GJ Gardner Homes Wodonga. We asked Bruce if he could meet us on our block in what remained of our burnt down home . We wanted his expertise and advice on rebuilding our dream home to capture what we had. Bruce stepped through the site with us listening to what we wanted and making suggestions along the way. Within a few hours of Bruce leaving, we had a hand drawn plan emailed through for us to consider. This plan had captured...Read more
exactly what we were after. Dealing with Bruce was so easy because he listened, suggested when we needed advice and his product knowledge and experience was amazing. With the assistance of Kylie, our colour consultant, the selection of all the colours, fittings,tiles and carpet was made so easy and we were ready to go. As this home was to be built with Insurance money, we had a strict budget and Bruce was able to to achieve the size we wanted and the inclusions were fantastic. The quality and finish is 2nd to none thanks to the great supervisors and trades people. When visiting the office, it was obvious that this was a terrific team. Our thanks go out to Bruce, Tristan,Adam, Katie, Greg,, Grant and all the staff at Wodonga that make these dreams come true.1 comment

It's a GJ Gardener Home!
As a first time home owner I was perplexed with the purchasing of land, and the process of building a house. This was until I met Bruce from GJ Gardener Wodonga. He was calm, collected and ready to do everything he could to see my dream of owing my own home a reality. From the initial meeting and selection of my package, through to meeting my mortgage broker to help me get my loan nothing was too complicated for Bruce, and me! After what felt like a long wait for land titles, the process of getting the building plans finalised, colours selected...Read more
and the building of the house happened at lightening speed. However, throughout this whole process, Bruce and my site manager Tristan were there with me. Always willing to list to my sometime silly questions, and update me on the whole process. Tristan was an amazing site manager, and used quality contractors to complete each step of my house. He constantly called and texted me to keep me updated on the progress of the build. And then, finally it was finished! It was handover day and I was now a first homeowner. I received a wonderful house warming gift from the team, and I was lucky enough to show Bruce through the finished product for the first time. As a first time homeowner, I could not recommend GJ Gardener Wodonga enough. I am so impressed with the whole process, communication, quality and final product. You have made a dream that I never thought could be a reality come true. I would like to thank everyone at GJ Gardener Wodonga for the amazing experience, one that I will never forget. I would certainly build with GJ Garderner Wodonga again in a heartbeat. Superior service, amazing quality and a fantastic home. This is why I moved into a GJ Gardener Home!1 comment

Great management by GJ Gardener Wodonga who offered plenty of support throughout the whole build. Bruce and Tristian always responded to any questions or concerns we had with a friendly smile. There were multiple times where small glitches were identified and fixed by the GJ staff without us even having to say a thing. Bruce's experience in the industry is evident with the small changes and adjustments he made to our plan to make the space comfortable for our family. He was aware of our budget and was honest with what we could and could not aff...Read more
ord so we were never in over our heads. We have received multiple compliments from people in the building industry at the standard of the finishes on the house and have noticed the level of workmanship when comparing our house to other newly built houses. We have to thank Tristian for keeping an eye on everything and making sure it was all to a high standard. We will happily build with GJ Gardener Wodonga again.Similar opinion?

So Happy With GJ Gardner Wodonga
The whole process has been a breeze. From early on trying to work out a plan that suited what we wanted and our budget Bruce and Adam were amazing. They were both really patient with us when we were trying to pick a design! We are first home buyers so it was nice the staff explained everything to us and asked us a lot of questions about what we wanted in our dream home. There were things we just hadn't considered as we haven't built before so it was helpful to get their feedback and suggestions.
The colour consultant Kylie was amazing! We show...Read more

Thrilled. GJ Gardner Wodonga
I was very nervous at the thought of building a home, but with the support of Bruce at GJ Gardner Wodonga it all came together quiet easily, he was patient, supportive, helpful and knowledgeable. I also received some very positive feedback from someone who had already built with GJ Gardner Wodonga and were very happy with their home. Tristan was the building supervisor who oversaw the whole build and he was wonderful, also patient and nothing seemed too much trouble, I felt he went over and beyond his duty, and he always responded to my calls,...Read more
as did Bruce. Tristan always seemed to have a smile even when I raised any questions or concerns, which overall were few in the scheme of things, they were small and very quickly dealt with. A special mention for Katie who was also always pleasant, helpful and responsive to my queries. Colour selection was made easier with the assistance of Kylie. My new home is not the top of their range by any means but I am thrilled with the workmanship and the quality of fittings and fixtures, most of which are standard, but I have learnt GJ Gardner Wodonga standard level choices is sometimes superior to some other builders. I had visitors on the weekend who said they felt like they were staying in an upmarket holiday house/apartment. Of course I have learnt a lot in the process and there are some things I would do differently if I ever built again but, but I would not change the builder I would definitely build with them again and would recommend GJ Gardner Wodonga to anyone thinking about building a new home in this area.Similar opinion?

You dream of people like this building your home
We last built a house 25 years ago, so it was new territory for middle-aged soon to be retirees. The whole building landscape has changed dramatically, along with updates in design and materials. What we wanted was a modern, easy to care for and sustainable house that blended in with the street and didn’t impose itself on the surroundings. We wanted a separate wing for mother-in-law and guests, with their own bathrooms. The master wing would be on the opposite end, with the communal areas in the middle, and a big media room. We wanted lots of l...Read more
ight, lots of outdoor space and we wanted a level dwelling for ease when we all get older. Most of all, we wanted a house that didn’t cost a fortune to run. We found the GJ Gardner Rochedale design on the internet and it seemed to suit perfectly. It’s actually 3 buildings in one, connected with breezeways. It filled all our requirements straight away but needed internal modifications and some tweaking to make it our home. So, armed with this design, we approached GJ Gardner Wodonga and said “We absolutely love this house, but we want to change almost everything.” They couldn’t have been easier to deal with. After reading the horror stories of custom builders on the internet, we were apprehensive when we first approached the Wodonga team, but after one day of consultation our doubts were wiped away, and we said “we can build our dream house with these guys.” That conclusion has never changed. All through the consultation, design, building process and handover, we have felt completely at ease with Adam, Tristan, Danny, Bruce, Kylie and the rest of the team at GJ Gardner Wodonga. We got straight answers, straightforward and upfront costings, no hidden or nasty surprises, and it was a really pleasurable experience. There were some minor issues, but all were resolved with good ideas and collaboration, and we never felt that anything was pushed upon us or wasn’t what we wanted. There was always a good solution to every problem. We also felt our dream was in good hands all the way. Most of all, the quality of the building team and subcontractors has been superb. The walls are dead straight. The kitchen and cabinets have been made with great care, attention to detail and precision. The rendering on the outside is to die for. The painting, electrical fittings, plumbing and tiling are faultless. The Wodonga office makes sure its tradespeople are of the standard they require, and it shows.Similar opinion?
