Here’s what our customers say
I have lived in several countries and have gone through over a dozen renovations, and without doubt Guildsman Traditions are at the top of that builder interaction & experience.
To the home owner going through any renovation, trust, reliability, punctuality & communication are the most important factors in choosing a builder. Kris and Guildsman Traditions treated our own home like it was theirs and every care taken through the whole of the process. The end to end building programme was transparent, clear and thorough. Regular communication and updates and they were there when they said they would be. Kris’s additional project management skills were impressive and that’s critical when dealing with sub contact trades. Kris’s contacts and choice of tilers, plumbers & glaziers was excellent. The end result was a high quality home extension for a very fair & clear price. I highly recommend Guildsman Traditions, so much so, they have now done four jobs for me. Always choose quality, chose Guildsman Traditions.Guildsman Traditions – Where quality is a choice!
Easy to say and very hard to deliver unless you build with Kris Waldron. We needed to build a back deck and engaged Kris early in the piece and he worked with us right through the engineering and certification stage. This was an unexpected surprise and sure saved us time and money (and some grief!) Kris and his team did a “perfect” job on the deck and we had some fun along the way. All was explained at each stage and the site was kept clean. Many friends have commented on the fantastic job and even my engineer mate still cannot believe the attention to detail and all the little extras that should go into a job like this. Can’t recommend Kris and his team highly enough, if you are thinking of engaging Kris for your building project and want to talk it through with a happy client, Kris will give you our details.Kris did a great job with our outdoor entertainment area.
He is highly skilled with timber construction and the quality of the work is very good. Kris is a great communicator and project management, with the project coming in on time despite extra works and unforeseen issues that crop up in any modification & extension project. Kris approached all issues in a professional manner and were worked through quickly to get the job done. Some work was disruptive, and Kris managed that well by communicating well with neighbours.Our promise: precision and passion
