CAPITAL BUILDING

Right from the get go Capital Building make renovating easy; their extensive experience is evident from the design stage all the way through to completion. They quickly helped me crystallise a design; balancing practical function and comfort whilst creating an aesthetically pleasing home. They always go above and beyond to take away any concerns. Strata was painful in my instance, thankfully Capital Building was by my side at every stage. They actively helped alleviated every concern of the body corporate and provided all required documentation. Many builders would have walked away at this stage, but not Capital Building! During the project, there are regular meetings to provide progress reports and updates. This served us well to address any issues as they came up and facilitated proactive problem solving. It's great to work with a team of professionals that are friendly, organised, transparent at every stage of the job, and take pride in the quality of their work. I've now moved into my new home; it's on budget and feels like a joyful new beginning- amazing. To be expected, there are a few tweaks that have arisen and true to the Capital Building experience, they are responsive and actively working through a very small list. Nothing is ever an issue, they hold themselves to delivering at a high standard and do the right thing by their customers. I'm so pleased I chose Capital Building for my project, I'd definitely entrust them with any future renovations and highly recommend them without hesitation.

You can tell a lot about a builder by the manner in which he keeps his site. I worked with Capital Building on an extensive rebuild of a home in Vaucluse and can report that the site was always neat, tidy and organised. Nathan and Bettina's team are punctual, polite, cheerful and respectful which is a breath of fresh air in the building industry. Capital Building delivered extensive knowledge and professionalism to the job and deadlines and budgets were maintained. Forethought and attention to detail were other valuable attributes. When the inevitable curve balls hit Nathan was able to be calm, cool and collected and most importantly solution focussed. The end result was an amazing home for my happy client. I would gladly recommend Capital Building and would be delighted to work with them once again.

I reviewed Capital Building halfway through our renovation last year and indicated I'd follow up at completion. We moved in as planned in September so have had a good opportunity to fully appreciate the quality of the job. Nathan strives for an excellent result and is happy to follow up with any minor issues that invariably come up. We're pleased to recommend this company unreservedly.

We have engaged Capital Building to do a large renovation on our Family Home. The whole process has been better than we could have ever imagined! We have had such good communication with the Building Team over every single detail and have been treated with utmost respect in the decision making process. Considering we know nothing about Building everything has been explained to us with patience and care. The Capital Team has had a large input to the Design of the home and I really think that input has taken the vision of what we had in mind for our home to the next level, without adding to the cost. In fact, at every step of the way we have been reminded to take costs into consideration and Capital Building has had great input into what decisions would add value and what things were deemed potentially unnecessary. My husband and I were very nervous about undertaking a renovation but this has been such a smooth process as we have felt so supported in the journey. The Quality is second to none and all the Tradesman have been highly Professional. I wouldn't hesitate to Recommend the Capital Building Team for any project. · ·

As architects we needed a builder who could bring to life our challenging design and Capital Building delivered. Out project was for the asymmetrical rear extension of a symmetrical dwelling, as well as a new pool and Cabana renovation. The design outcome, that evolved from the challenges of the brief, resulted in an intricately detailed extension that required a builder who could not only grasp the three dimensionality of the structure but execute the intricate details with precision - all within a budget. Capital Building were co-operative and collaborative to work with and the finished outcome is superb. We look forward to working with them again in the near future.

I HIRED CAPITAL BUILDING TO REBUILD MY HOME FROM BASICALLY SCRATCH. WE HAVE BEEN SO HAPPY WITH THEIR SERVICES THEY HAVE DELIVERED EVERYTHING THEY SAID THEY WOULD. THEY HAVE BEEN PROFFESSIONAL AND ONTIME ALONG THE PROCESS. THEY HAVE MADE BUILDING OUR DREAM HOME A REALLY PLEASANT EXPERIENCE I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM.

Capital Building were an extremely professional and efficient outfit. As a first-time renovator, I required guidance and advice on everything from structural issues to styles of door handles. At the outset of the project, Nathan Waller, the company's principal, provided me with detailed plans of proposed features and fittings, and prepared a fully itemised (and ultimately very accurate) costing for the project, together with all the necessary paper work and insurances. Nathan was always accessible and flexible in his approach to the project, and co-ordinated the timing and management of other trades, such as plumbers and tilers, effortlessly. Not surprisingly, given the general professionalism of their approach, the workmanship on all aspects of the renovation was exceptional. We still receive positive comments from friends that view the refurbished apartment - especially other builders!

I have recently had the pleasure of working with Nathan from Capital Building on a residential renovation to a double storey house in Owen Street, North Bondi. Until now, I have not worked with Nathan before, however Nathan came highly recommended by our Client's friend who had recently completed doing their renovation. The Owen Street project was a medium size renovation which incorporated demolition to the rear of the existing house, rebuilding a new open plan Living, Dining and Kitchen space, new Laundry and reconfiguring level one to create a new Main Bedroom with small Ensuite. This project was made most enjoyable for me as we (Client, Nathan and I) worked together as a team. All works were carefully planned and built within the given time frame. The project was executed on a very tight budget and at all times Nathan has been conscious of this fact. With every project there are variations and these were dealt with extreme fairness and consideration. Throughout the project, our Client was informed of the project cost's and progress which allowed them to budget accordingly. Nathan has a good eye for detail and is always ready to make an informed suggestion. He is highly capable and very organised with a good team under his employ. Nathan has excellent communication skills, he will very quickly understand a situation and find a suitable solution. With this been said, Nathan is meticulous when it comes to project details and their coordination. At the end of the day, there are very few projects that I have been involved in where at the end of the project, there has been no defects list needed to be issued. Nathan is highly competent in what he does and it was truly wonderful working with him. I have no hesitation in recommending Capital Building and look forward to our next project together.

Nathan was recommended by our architect as she had worked with him and considered his attention to detail, ability to re-create her vision, communicate with the home owner, show the detail in his accounting and solve problems on the job would add the value on our job. His natural intelligence, enjoyment of his job and friendly nature added to our experience. Prior to the job, during the 5 months where we lived within a building site and in the 2 years subsequent to the work Nathan has responded immediately to any concern of ours. He has shown knowledge that has helped uncode the building process and informed us so we can make decisions. We have been confident that the work is to the highest standard. I saw a wall come down and be rebuilt when Nathan detected it was not to standard. The detail within our house is enjoyed daily. Nathan is calm, flexible and helpful. Nathan has an ease of being able to move between the teams of people doing the building work and being able to clearly identify what was required of me the home owner so that the worksite created a happy unit. We lived in temporary conditions onsite and never felt uncomfortable, the team happily got on with their work and our co-existance was untroubled. I missed them after they left. I always felt well managed. Our invoices were detailed and regular. It was a smooth process of daily activity. Numerous times after the completion of the job Nathan has quickly recalled detailed parts of the job. These issues did not directly relate to Nathan's work however his knowledge either helped to reassure me or direct me. Zena Hanna

We chose Capital Building for the renovation of our dilapidated inner-city terrace house after receiving several quotes. We were impressed by the quality of Capital Building’s previous work we inspected and by Nathan’s professionalism. From the outset of our build, Nathan provided clear and constant communication to my wife and myself, and he also worked effortlessly with our architect. Nathan was enthusiastic about our project and was always available to answer any questions we had during our site inspections. Our appreciation also goes to Capital’s builders and tradesmen. They were always courteous to us and our neighbours and provided high quality workmanship. We have already recommended Capital Building to our friends and encourage you to consider Nathan and his team.

I have found working with Nathan and Capital Building to be a very positive experience. Nathan is extremely approachable, always timely in his responses to questions and always describing options and trade-offs in clear unambiguous terms so that decisions made by me were well informed. Capital Building always provided first class service. Documentation, whether sketches, plans, workers' time-sheets, and accounts, were always complete and accurate. The work across all trade categories was of high quality and very well tuned to our level of budget. Our project progressed according to schedule, with Capital Building re-arranging tasks to account as far as possible for the vagaries of weather. All major milestones occurred as planned by Capital Building. Any changes that we requested or were required by circumstances were addressed promptly by Nathan and Capital Building. He was prompt in providing detailed cost and schedule impacts of any changes; once agreed by me they were always actioned. Our communication experience with all parties associated with Capital Building, from Nathan, through Site Manager, to tradesmen was excellent. They would always respond promptly to telephones messages, SMS, and email. All staff, without exception were articulate and courteous. Capital Building and its subcontractors' technical knowledge could not be faulted. Their technical solutions were always optimal with respect to budget and schedule. The project completed by Capital Building involved the renovation of an 80 year old house that had been pretty well untouched for over 35 years. Capital Building met the challenge of fulfilling all the objectives within our budget and within our time constraints. I would not hesitate to use Capital Building again for future building/renovation projects and I unreservedly recommend them.

We engaged Nathan Waller of Capital Building to carry out extensive renovations and a first floor addition to our home in Randwick. Capital Building was selected after a tendering process involving two other builders. We felt that Nathan had gone that little bit further during this process to ensure that only the best tradesmen and products would be used. We remained in the house during construction and the effort Nathan’s team went to for our comfort was considerable. Nathan went out of his way to ensure that we were happy during all stages of the process. The work itself was completed to the highest standard and within the estimated completion date. We are more than happy with the end result and would have no hesitation in recommending Capital Building and would certainly engage them again. Kevin and Suellen Jeffries
