I have not engaged with the contract at this stage as working on few details with BuildTech, however I can say that Beau and Stephanie have been working extremely hard to sort out my build as i have lost a significant amount of deposit with another company who went into liquidation unfortunately :(....Beau and Stephanie from BuildTech have been highly responsive and helpful so far and would highly recommend to anyone who is looking to build :)

The Buildtech promise of ‘$Zero cost overruns guaranteed’ caught our attention. On engaging with the project manager, we found that the build cost was very competitive, we found the team to be very professional, their attention to detail was impeccable, along with prompt communications. All sub-contractors were of an excellent quality. Any challenges that came up during the entire project were attended to immediately and with a minimum of fuss and to our complete satisfaction. The overall project cost came to 1.5% above original quote and that was entirely made up of upgrades we chose to add in. There was not $1 cost overrun! Nothing. We would use them again today! 👌

We were looking to build our first home last year, and came across Buildtech's website. From the first contact we had until we moved in everything ran smoothly and either on time or ahead of schedule. From breaking ground, till moving in took 4 months - with a 3 week Christmas break in the middle which was faster than expected. They quality of the work was also exceptional. They modified the plans a number of items to suit our needs and budget to make the house perfect for us. I would definetely use Buildtech again and recommend them to any looking to build a house

Buildtech were with me every step of the way with my house build. They helped me with my concerns and gave me the confidence to commit to the section purchase, helped me design the exact right place for me and my section and then delivered exactly what I asked for for the price agreed and above the standard expected. They have such a positive problem solving attitude. I would use them again in a heartbeat.
