Sascha Burgess
We've just completed a major, complicated renovation and extension of our home with the Brickwoods, and could not recommend them more highly. James and Ann-Maree were a pleasure to work with, open and honest at every step of the way, and left us with a beautiful, high quality house that we are delighted to call home.
Andy Sloane
Contacted James from Brickwood Building received a great quote and told him to go ahead with the job. His crew turned up and did an excellent job (construction of a bridge). The boys doing the work could not have been more professional and left our property absolutely pristine. Can not recommend them more highly.

We can highly recommend Brickwood Building. Our renovation went smoothly with excellent communication and a high quality of work. James and his team are very professional, efficient and flexible. They were able to make great suggestions and made the project stress-free for us. The worksite was always left clean and tidy every day. Very happy with our renovation and nothing but praise for Brickwood Building

"I would highly recommend Brickwood Building to anyone looking to do a total rebuild or even a small renovations, the workmanship was such a high standard as all the team are very experienced tradesmen. In fact I will be using them on my next project as I was so happy. "
Carolyn McKenzie
We were wanting an outdoor entertainment area built and didn’t know where to begin. James provided a wealth of knowledge and worked with us every step of the way to ensure we were happy with the progress and budget. His team were professional and the tradesmen he recommended we use for additional services were excellent. The project was completed on time and we couldn’t be happier with our new space!

Words can not express how happy we are with the completion of our new duplex! Our childhood home has been replaced with a beautiful family duplex for us. Brickwood Building were exceptional with their communication and professionalism from the very beginning. Nothing was ever too much trouble for James and his highly competent team, even incorporating last minute changes from us. The quality of Brickwood Building speaks for itself and we would never build with anyone else! Needless to say, we’ll recommended Brickwood Building to everyone looking at renovating or building their own home.

Family Friendly

In most cases our clients continue to live in the house whilst renovating therefore the families and our staff are living and working in close proximity during certain parts of the project. We have a basic rule, if we will not use a particular contractor in our own house with our own children, we will not use them in yours.
