What Our Clients Say

Excellent

Marcus N.

We recently completed a renovation in Glen Iris, Victoria, with Travis and his team, and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Travis, as the Director, leads with professionalism, a commitment to quality, and extensive knowledge of building.

Tom, our site manager, was organised, approachable, and always on top of the day-to-day progress. Dean and Laura, the designers, brought incredible creativity and insight, helping us turn vague ideas into a beautiful, functional space. Tiffanie and Andrew, the project managers, kept everything running smoothly and on time behind the scenes.

The whole team was respectful, skilled, and detail-oriented. They delivered on time and within budget. We’re very pleased with the end result and would recommend Capital to anyone considering building or renovating.

Response from the owner:Hi Marcus, Thank you for your kind and thoughtful review! We are absolutely delighted to hear how happy you are with your renovation in Glen Iris. It's wonderful to know that each member of the team from Travis’s leadership to Tom’s on-site management, Dean and Laura’s design creativity, and the seamless coordination by Tiffanie and Andrew played a significant role in bringing your vision to life. We truly appreciate your recognition of the team's effort, professionalism, and attention to detail. It was a pleasure working with you, and we’re so glad the final result exceeded your expectations. Kind regards, The Team at Capital Building Contractors

HELEN L.

I recently had a renovation done at my residence on Orrong Road, Toorak, and I can’t speak more highly of the team involved. They were incredibly efficient, completing the work in impressive time without ever compromising on quality. Their response time was quick, and they were always attentive and proactive in addressing any questions or requests. Nothing was left undone—their attention to detail was second to none, ensuring a flawless finish in every aspect of the renovation. The entire process was seamless and stress-free, and the results exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for top-tier renovations. Thank you!

Response from the owner:Hi Helen, Thank you for your fantastic feedback! We are very pleased to hear you had such a positive experience with your renovation. Delivering high-quality results efficiently while making the process as smooth and stress-free as possible, is exactly what we aim for. It’s incredibly rewarding to know we met those goals. Your recommendation means a great deal to us. It was a pleasure working with you, and we’re thrilled that the final result exceeded your expectations! Kind regards, The Team at Capital Building Contractors

Ali Callinan - H.

We did an extension with capital builders 7 years ago. The process was excellent. From start to finish there were no dramas and best of all it was compleated on time and on budget! I would recommend Capital Building to anyone thinking of taking on a home renovation or extension. The quality of the work is proven after 7 years the house still looks great even with 3 teenagers living in it. If i was to do another extention Travis and his team would be my first call.

Response from the owner:Hi Ali Thanks so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear your extension is still going strong after seven years and holding up well with a busy household! It means a lot to know the process was smooth, on time, and on budget. We truly appreciate your recommendation and would be pleased to work with you again on any future projects. All the best, The Team at Capital Building Contractors
