Testimonials

We have used Dinkum building services for 3 separate renovation projects we have done on the Northern Beaches. We could have not have been more pleased with the end result and working with Pete, Rob and the crew has been easy. They are very professional and always offering alternatives to save time and money. They always go the extra mile and we have never had any problem with them coming back for the inevitable snagging issue. We couldn't recommend them highly enough - we will definitely use them again in the future Andrew + Frances

When asked to provide a testimonial on our experience completely rebuilding our family home in Freshwater, I reflected on what made Dinkum Building so unique. There were three elements: 1. Detailed planning while remaining flexible 2. Calm, clear and timely communication 3. Craftsmanship and perfectionism in execution These qualities aren't captured in a tender document. You have to experience them during the building process. I couldn't speak more highly of what Robert, Peter, Danielle and the Dinkum team achieved. If my details are passed on, I'm more than happy to elaborate further. Would I do it again with Dinkum?.....YES. Stuart

We recently had the opportunity to build a house with Dinkum Building in Brighton Street, Freshwater. Building a house for the first time can be a daunting experience. We contacted three builders for quotes and after reviewing the tenders we felt most comfortable with Peter and Rob. They were very confident with our draftsman's drawings and could envisage the build plus more. This gave us great confidence that Dinkum Building was the right choice of builder. From knock down of the old house to move in, it was only 5 months, all because of Peter and Rob's great organisation and commitment to our new home. They worked well with all tradesmen who included their trades and our own. With their knowledge and experience of building and design we felt that we knew of all costing's up front with no surprises and achieved the build to budget as we were informed from when the contract was first signed. Regular meetings and communications kept us up to date which was also of great benefit. Peter and Rob were helpful in giving advice on aspects of the house whilst building, that were not covered by the draftsman. Areas included selection of PC items and reviewing items to suit our budget. The boys were honest at all times and with their pro-active attitudes if something didn't look right they would communicate to us and provide options. Our stairs (not managed by Dinkum) were drawn on the plan too narrow and without any hassle or complaint Dinkum resolved this issue on our behalf. If we were planning to build another house, our only call will be to Dinkum Building! We could not speak highly enough of Dinkum Building and would invite anyone to call at any time about our experience.

After a competitive tender, we appointed Dinkum Building to build a complex third storey including a bedroom, walk in wardrobe and bathroom for our home in Mosman. We couldn’t have been happier with our choice of builder, they were incredibly helpful, cleaned up amazingly – despite the fact they were working on top of our house whilst we lived in the house!  Their attention to detail is second to none, we never had to complain about anything – in fact they are detail focused and the workmanship and quality is of work is impeccable. The works were completed in record time, and Dinkum Building also undertook changing our downstairs sauna into a beautiful steam room, which is simply stunning, better than any hotel steam room we have been to! We would recommend Dinkum Building to any discerning person who wants perfect workmanship, however complex and involved your project may be.

Thank you for providing an outstanding service where honesty, professionalism and dedication forms the foundation of your company. Using Dinkum Building to build our home was the 2^nd best decision we could have made. Along the way there were some inevitable alterations, and each and every time, you were always so approachable and always responded with: ”no worries …..we can do that”. The pride and craftsmanship the whole team display in their work is second to none.  We found Dinkum Building to be professional, on budget, and easy to communicate with for the entire project. The site was always left clean and tidy. The process was remarkably stress free and the way you were able to work around and accommodate us was very much appreciated. The best decision we made was to use the Dinkum Building team again to build a second time and we couldn’t be happier. We would highly recommend Dinkum Building to anyone and more than happy to speak with any future clients.
