Awesome custom build !
We were looking to knock down and build our own new house. After a long search we came to G.J. Gardner display home and was surprised by the quality and standard fittings. We were greeted by Mick who was very patient and was able to answer all our questions. He was able to predict right cost just by looking at our house plan. With Mick winning our hearts we decided to go ahead. Then Mikaela looked after us every thing from signing the contract to all Admin stuff without any delays. This made the process very smooth and Peter who was our buildin...Read more
g inspector, looked after the house as if his own house. We currently living in the house for 2 weeks now and loving it. Peter has checked on us after we moved in, which was a nice touch. It was our first build but I have no hesitation to recommend them to any one. Keep up the good work guys !!

We love our new home!
Extremely happy with our new home it was exactly what we wanted! There were a few hiccups along the way but the team at GJ were always there to help and fix the issue. All the staff are very friendly and easy to deal with. Ash and the team were very transparent with the costs and exactly how much additions would be. Would definitely recommend!

Fantastic home build with GJ Gardner Homes!
We have been very happy with the excellent service we received from GJ Gardner homes.
The great service started with our consultant Ana, who was always so willing to help in every way to ensure we designed the perfect house for us. We have built several new homes with other companies over the years. We have never experienced such a well organised and stress free build. From the very beginning, right through to the very end.

Great home building experience! I would recommend to everyone!
- Pros: so many to tell. Before approaching GJ Gardner Point Cook I could not believe there is a builder who offers such "freedom of design" with very reasonable price tag. I was allowed to sketch the floor plan myself, from scratch, without any 'template' that I have stick to. I enjoyed discussions with the Team on every idea that I came up with. After going through ~5 different plans we ended up with a design that makes me proud of. Coming to internal design, I was flooded by ideas and options that the Team offered. I truly appreciate the tim...Read more
e and effort that the Team, especially Anyeta, pumped into my endless discussions with heaps of "what if..."! The construction and hand-over went well as my expectation. For the first 5 months living in my new home, there were little glitches here and there, but the Team was very approach-able and responsible to my maintenance requests. - Cons: not much indeed. Paperwork sometimes got messy and records were missed. The landscaping quality can be improved... And that's it!1 comment

Amazing first home experience
It didn't take much time to decide to build our first home with G J Gardner Homes Point Cook after speaking to Simon and Anyeta. We felt both were honest and helpful, especially with many of our first home owner queries and clear expectations were set. It was a stress free experience from day we signed the building contract to the day we took keys of our new home.G J Gardner Homes Point Cook team was confident about construction quality with a trusted team of tradesmen and have high set standards. All tradesmen were qualified and well experienc...Read more
ed, with high quality workmanship. Third party inspector was allowed on-site without any conditions or restrictions, we were not surprised that building inspector did not find any major issues at various stages of construction and they fixed minor issues reported by inspector. It has been five months since we moved into our new home and we did not find any issue in terms of construction materials, fittings, paint job quality or overall build quality. We feel G J Gardner team have given attention to detail and we are very happy with the quality of finish. There was not much variance in terms of construction cost from initial estimated cost, however for others it may depend on site conditions and other factors. We feel whatever may be the situation, constructing with G J Gardner Homes Point Cook will be good value for money. We will not have a second thought in choosing G J Gardner Homes Point Cook again in future and recommend them for your home construction as well. Overall G J Gardner Homes Point Cook team have delivered what they promised, we thank entire team for being part of our dream home project, Thank you.1 comment

Very happy GJ Gardner First Home Buyer :-)
I have been in my home for 3 months now and its perfect, the team at Bacchus Marsh were all fantastic to deal with, letting me customise my home as much as i wanted to suit my lifestyle yet without the ridiculous price tag other custom builders charge.
I was kept updated throughout the build at all times and it was completed ahead of schedule, very happy with the customer service from the team who actually care about me and my new home.
It was such a fun & enjoyable experience, i am so glad i chose GJ Bacchus Marsh, I would only ever build with GJ Gardner in the future and will be recommending them to all my family & friends.

Our perfect first home!
We are extremely happy with the quality of our new home. The construction process was very smooth with no stress, everything happened on time, and they handed over 15 days before the expected finishing date. Our site supervisor was exceptionally professional, went beyond our expectation to ensure that everything is happening in the right direction. We received weekly emails from the office staff, and phone calls from site supervisor to inform updates and these helped us to reassure that it was going well.
We love our home! Big thanks to G.J. Gardner Homes, Ararat.
We highly recommend G.J. Gardner Homes, Ararat if you are looking forward to building a quality home within an affordable budget

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.

Love our new house!
We’ve been living in our GJ Gardner home for about a month now and it’s fantastic. Our scheduled completion date has only just passed so it finished about a month ahead. The whole team to deal with were fantastic. We were sent updates on the house weekly (or whenever there was an update) and nothing we asked for or about was too much trouble. We always thought building would be stressful, but the GJ team made the process a breeze. Big thanks to the team for our beautiful family home.

Beautiful Home!
We never renovated before, so we has no idea of what to expect. The build was so organised and we were constantly being updated with each stage. We have seen many different homes being built by other property builders and the workmanship from G.J. Gardner has definitely been above par. As for cost, first and foremost, G.J. Gardner were the only builders who said 'YES' to building a property on a sloping block without blowing the budget. Nothing was too much of a challenge. With the freedom of alternating floor plans, we were able to make a hous...Read more

Absolutely embarrassing - The level of incompetence is astonishing!
We are currently at the tail end of our build and unfortunately it has been a less than pleasant experience.
1. False promises, right from day #1
2. Poor communications throughout
3. Lack of transparency with the build process and timelines
4. Inconsistency with trades - Turn up for a day or two then site is stagnant for a week or weeks in some cases
5. Less than impressed with OHS and site cleanliness
6. Plans riddled with error that should have been picked up at the start and set back to drafting
7. HIA contract used, does not protect the consumer enough
8. Website project tracker has not been updated since Dec'18
9. Build is well over the contract date...Read more

First home owner's delight!
We couldn't be more pleased with our new family home. With two young children, building a home was a daunting prospect, but Mark, Karyn and their team made the whole process simple. We selected one of GJ Gardner's plans and were able to make several amendments to suit our family and our block. Sacha made our colour selection process easy, with suggestions when needed and we are thrilled with our choices. Communication from the whole team was exceptional and we always knew what was happening throughout the build. There were no surprise costs and the quality of our home is exceptional; we love it!
We highly recommend Mark and the team. Thank you GJ Gardner Melbourne Nth West!
