During the time we have had the pleasure of working with Adam Anderson and his team from A J Anderson Building on four new houses and four substantial renovations using both fixed price(lump sum) contracts and cost plus contracts. Given the variable nature of construction, there are always issues that require further resolution. In this regard I have always found Adam and his team to be proactive in resolving any such issues with a particular sensitivity to design intent. Further, Adam and his team have always been courteous, helpful and willing to go out of the way to help our clients understand and enjoy the building process.
Adam has built two houses for me in Rayner Rd, Whale Beach. Both houses were architect designed and involved innovation and complexity. The first house was constructed on a steep block and the second involved extensive use of “off form” concrete and other natural materials. both Properties were completed on schedule and without any material issues. Adam was responsive to requests and comments and kept us fully informed on progress. We were extremely pleased with the finish of both properties.
In the process of finding a builder to build my own home at Palm Beach, I inspected two local homes completed by A J Anderson Builders, one a demolish and rebuild at Clareville and the other also a demolish and rebuild architect designed home at Newport. After being most impressed with the quality of construction and attention to detail of both homes, I engaged them to build my own home at Palm Beach. The design of the house included the extensive use of exposed structural steel, glass and recycled Australian hardwoods and required exacting tolerances in its method of construction. Since completion this house won an award from BHP for its design and use of steel. A J Anderson Building did an excellent job completing my home in a timely, economical and exacting manor.
When deciding which builder to use for the construction of our home in Clareville, our architect recommended we inspect several homes which had been built by Adam and his team in nearby locations as they had worked successfully together in previous builds. We were absolutely impressed by the quality and skill exhibited on those builds and had no hesitation in deciding on Adam to build our own home.
Our home was built on a narrow and sloped block which involved quite a degree of difficulty in terms of excavation and construction and included the use of structural steel, formed concrete, expansive glass areas, and native timbers which featured both internally and externally. Adam, in conjunction with our architect, guided the project seamlessly from beginning to end with great attention to every detail, and he and his team were excellent at keeping us informed of and ultimately resolving. any issues which arose during the course of the build, making it a surprisingly enjoyable experience.
The quality, skill and craftsmanship exhibited by Adam and his team both on the external construction and the internal cabinetry and finish were excellent and, more than four years after its completion, we remain deeply satisfied with the result.
