PARK TCE, CITY

TESTIMONIAL;

“We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Woodsmith Builders to build your next project.

One of the hardest decisions you make when building is deciding who is going to build your dream home. Fortunately for us, we were given an opportunity to view an award winning home, which Woodsmith Builders had recently completed. After that, our decision was cemented.

If you are building an architecturally designed home it’s imperative that the architect and builder are on the same page. Jeremy Smith and his team had no issues deciphering the details of our plans.

From the onset, Jeremy struck us as a friendly guy who had an approachable manner and was knowledgeable of his trade. As time went on we obviously got to know him better. Jeremy always had his finger on the pulse and demonstrated great organisational skills. The sub-contractors arrived when expected and there never appeared to be any delay issues with products.

Not only is Jeremy ethical, so is his team. They treated us with respect and it was obvious they also took pride in building our home. The building site was left super tidy at the end of every day, there wasn’t a nail or wood shaving in sight.

We are delighted with the craftmanship and quality of our home.”

“Having used Jeremy and his team from The Woodsmith to build our previous townhouse, we had no qualms in again using them to build our new architecturally designed house. 

We wanted the architecture to be a bit different this time which in turn, translated to a demanding job. Along with feature two-storied in situ concrete walls, the whole house comprises irregular angles, as nothing is square. Jeremy rose to the occasion and again, nothing was ever a problem. Every challenge was met head on, worked through and solved. We were impressed!

It was a pleasure to again work with a group of very pleasant, friendly young men and we'll make sure to use them again next time!”

TESTIMONIAL;

“I'll forever be grateful to The Woodsmith team for building our dream home. They care deeply about the work they do and take pride in solving any challenge that comes their way—nothing is ever a problem. 

Jeremy was with me on this journey long before the build began, and his experience as a quantity surveyor was invaluable in costing and planning everything. He worked closely with our architect, Stephen Fitzgerald, to ensure all aspects of the design were feasible and stayed on budget.

As a first-time home builder, I'm very grateful for Jeremy's guidance throughout the process. He was patient, transparent, and clear on every aspect of the build process, with no hidden costs or surprises. He delivers on his word and that's a very important quality in someone you entrust a building project to. 

Sebastian, James, and the rest of The Woodsmith team were all fantastic to work with. They’re not only highly talented and caring about what they do, but also just great guys who are a pleasure to be around.

People who visit our home regularly comment on the outstanding quality of the build. We’re stoked with how it turned out and very thankful to The Woodsmith for their dedication. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a team that truly goes above and beyond.“

MCDOUGALL AVE, MERIVALE

TESTIMONIAL;

“I purchased bare land in June 2017. I commissioned Evan Mayo of Architecture Bureau to design a 230sqm single level three bedroom, two bathroom, plus office and snug dwelling. It was decided that we would build the house in two stages with separate contracts. One for the excavations and foundation slab and one for the build above the slab.

I am so pleased that Jeremy Smith of The Woodsmith won both contracts as my experience has been nothing short of total satisfaction.

The land here is TC3 and so extensive foundations were required. We commissioned Fabio Parodi of the Cresco Group to design the foundations and he designed them using the Armadillo method that he has developed. It is relatively new and innovative but Jeremy has had prior experience with it. There are over 91 cubic metres of concrete in the foundations and there were no issues involved with either design, consent, or build. A problem did arise, not of Jeremy’s making and being the professional he is, Jeremy took ownership of this hiccup and it was fixed. The foundations were completed on time and for the quoted price. Fabio ticked off all the engineering boxes.

The above slab build was scheduled to take 20 weeks and in spite of some delays because of inclement weather, this was completed on time and for the quoted price. There were no issues of any significance concerning the builders, or any subcontractors. This I am sure was due to Jeremy only employing professional “subbies”. This is what you should expect when you employ professionals and it is what I received.

I had heard lots of horror stories about building and I was apprehensive. There were issues, of course, but they were resolved by Jeremy and Evan in conjunction with the relevant subbies. At no time was there any issue on standard of workmanship and the build was completed as per the schedule and to the quoted price.

I have no hesitation in recommending Jeremy Smith and his team at The Woodsmith.”

TESTIMONIAL;

“We recently had a highly- spec'd architecturally designed townhouse built by Jeremy and his team from The Woodsmith Ltd.

As this was the first time we had built we were pleased to find it was an exciting and enjoyable experience.  We found the whole Woodsmith team easy to work with. Jeremy was always happy to listen to new suggestions and tolerant of little changes we made. The building site was always neat and tidy at the end of every day which we really appreciated.

There are quite a few unique architectural features in our home, not least of which is a suspended wooden staircase.  The Woodsmith team really showed they were on point and did an amazing job. We were super impressed with their ability to work through everything thoroughly and systematically with a fantastic end result. As an Interior Designer, I personally take a great interest in the detailing and finishing of a house.  In this case, it was superb, something for which, I think, they should get full marks.

We are thrilled with our house and would not hesitate in recommending Jeremy and his guys to anyone considering employing them. You will get a thorough, professional job, from a very likeable team of guys.”

ROGUES OR ROTHERHAMS

TESTIMONIAL;

“Rogues of Rotherham is indeed a unique place. It has given an old building a new lease of life. The attention to detail and quality is obvious, and is a testament to the architects, designers, Jeremy Smith and The Woodsmith team, whose “main focus is on top workmanship and integrity”. The company specialises in high profile fit-outs, and Rogues is a beautiful example. With ample use of oak and ash timber throughout, the vintage pendant lighting, the brass footrest and other high quality brass and copper fittings creating a continuity that highlights the perfectionism that is a hallmark of Smith’s professional team.”

“We had Jeremy Smith, who owns The Woodsmith builders, and his wonderful team, do our recent renovation and we can't speak highly enough of him and his staff. What stood out was Jeremy's huge integrity (which is probably the most important thing when you are dealing with someone every day about your biggest asset and important family place - your home) and his positive can-do attitude. This applied to his team too. They were great to have around, very approachable and just generally nice, good, honest Kiwi blokes. I also appreciated that they didn't smoke or swear around our house, I always felt comfortable around them. They kept a tidy job site, something our friends always remarked on when they visited. Nothing was ever a problem and their professionalism and workmanship was top notch.

Jeremy organised all the subcontractors on site and always ensured we were happy with the results. There was excellent communication throughout, with weekly meetings and the job was finished on time. Due to his nature, we felt totally comfortable from the start with trusting Jeremy 100 per cent, we always felt he had our best interests at heart and feel so lucky to have found The Woodsmith.

We will probably be his customers for life for anything we want to do in future!”

GORDON AVE, ST ALBANS

TESTIMONIAL;

“Jeremy is the type of builder that you dream of. Even before the renovation of our 100 year old villa actually began, Jeremy thoroughly knew the plans in detail and already had solutions on how to fix issues with parts of the old house that we had thought might be too difficult. Throughout the building process Jeremy was a great communicator, transparent, and trustworthy. He was so respectful and understanding of the quirks of an old Villa, and nothing was ever a problem. We couldn’t have imagined a more reliable building team. We are thrilled with the renovation.”
