We engaged St Andrews Constructions to complete an extensive renovation of our home in Noosaville. During our first meeting Steven explained that St Andrews stood for excellence. They did not let us down! 
Steven has great communication skills, being friendly, honest and easy to talk to. His project management was outstanding and very hands on, keeping us up to date on all developments on a daily basis.
Steven displayed an easy rapport with his Trades and they in turn were always respectful and valued his strong work ethic. He refuses to compromise on quality of product or craftsmanship.
We are thrilled with the completed result and highly recommend St Andrews Constructions to anyone looking for an overall exceptional building experience.
Thanks for everything Steven, our journey continues!

Steve turned a run down and completely gutted former pawn brokers into a stunning, accessible and sustainable modern office building that perfectly suits our business needs. We appreciated his thoughtful and consultative approach to getting the job done. He took extra care to ensure the build met our needs – going above and beyond to deliver.

We had the pleasure of working with Steven of St Andrews Construction on the renovation of our home – adding on a dressing room, renovating two bathrooms and adding a deck linking two areas.
Steven was a consummate professional throughout the course of the renovation. He was accurate in his initial assessment of the scale and the cost of our project. He used the best sub-contractors as well and we ended up extremely satisfied with a top class house. He consulted us right through the project and we were never left in the dark. Steven also came up with practical solutions and alternatives as the project went along and wasn’t rigid when we wanted to make changes along the way.
His team was always respectful, extremely tidy in the workplace and the worksite was never left in disarray. Stairs were covered with protective sheets as to prevent damage whilst accessing areas being renovated.
The rather large project was completed on time, within budget and with minimal disruption to our family. We would highly recommend using St Andrews construction if you want to be assured of high quality workmanship and no shortcuts.

My wife and I engaged St Andrews Constructions on the verbal reference of others. We wished to completely gut and refurbish our apartment in Noosa Heads. With the dramas of the world and given we don’t reside in Australia, we had to make the call whether or not to commence without being able to be on site at any time during the process.
We were confident enough in Steven’s ability to proceed. From start to finish we have been highly impressed. Steven has a formidable team covering all the bases. There is not a single item we have been unhappy with. The quality of work and attention to detail is excellent. Their recommendations on various fitout items were first class and clearly the result of experience. Not only are their tradesmen extremely proficient but the consultants they suggested (architect, engineer etc) were also excellent. The end result has been exactly as we imagined and we couldn’t be happier.
We were kept up to speed throughout construction with frequent photos, summaries and Zoom calls where needed so we could make a call where decisions were required. The only cost variations have been a result of us changing specifications or adding in additional items.
The whole process has been simple and enjoyable. We have no hesitation in recommending St Andrews Constructions and will undoubtedly use them again when the opportunity arises.

We have a home that was about 3 decades old when we decided to have it renovated. It was a double brick – brick inside and out. Very little had been done to it since its original build, except a small renovation in the 1990’s.
The renovation was going to be an extensive one, and one that required a lot of skill. It is so much easier to build a new house than to renovate an old one. There is the constraint of the original footprint and structural walls to work within. We approached at least six builders. And only two of them were even prepared to take it on or give a quote. Obviously, it was going to be a challenge for any normal builder. We needed a builder that had lots of experience in renovation.
This is where Steven came in. He had had lots of experience renovating old homes. There renovation is more likely the case than a new build. Steven had the experience we needed for this “difficult” renovation and the skill. So he took the plunge.
We are so pleased with the result. It was the easiest build we have ever had and that was due primarily to Steven. In fact the build was a pleasure. It was exciting and fun. I have never been able to say that of any of our builds in the past!
Steven is a great communicator. He kept us in the loop and regularly consulted with us. He anticipated issues and made suggestions based on his experience. It came to the stage that we so trusted Steven’s recommendations that we felt that they would be the sensible choice without question. If we had any concerns or questions, Steven was very open to discussion, easy to negotiate with and solution oriented.
Steven has great organisational skills. He monitored his staff, deliveries and lead times so that the flow of work continued smoothly. Steven’s high standard of communication also came to the fore with his staff, whom he managed firmly but fairly.
Steven had a good team working with him. From the carpenters, plumbers, the siliconer and so forth.
We were extremely happy with the quality of the work. It is solid craftsmanship that is made to last. Steven consistently gave us ideas where he thought there may be better way to do something. And if a product was not up to standard, he was very keen to get the problem sorted so that a high-quality result could be maintained.
Steven is a man of his word. If he says he is going to do something … he will.
Steven is very trustworthy. We went overseas during the build, having sorted what we anticipated would need to be done. And the issues that did arrive while we were absent Steven solved independently of us. We trusted his decisions.
We highly recommend Steven as a quality builder for a difficult renovation. We would have Steven build for us again with pleasure.

Good afternoon Steven,

I felt I must write to thank you on the completion of my renovation.

It was a pleasure to deal with you especially as I made a number of changes during the job. The quality of your work was outstanding as was your professionalism . I could not recommend you more highly. Again thank you.

Kind regards. Margaret

I would have no hesitation in recommending St Andrews for any renovation work.  They did a brilliant job on our Hastings Street apartment. They were extremely collaborative and added value the whole way – from the initial designs to materials to the smallest details – providing advice and recommendations that had a really positive impact on the quality of the final product. In spite of doing the job during the Covid-19 crisis, and the added complication of us living overseas, we were kept completely up to date with the progress, so were given visibility and confidence throughout. And we finished on time and on budget, which was a big plus for us.  We’re delighted with the job and the contribution from the St Andrews team.

We engaged Steve from St Andrews Constructions to extend and renovate our house in Noosa Waters. It was a complex build with a second story addition plus the installation of a lift. The construction commenced then Covid hit and we had no way of visiting the site because of closed interstate borders. To our delight when we were finally able to visit on the completion of works Steven had done a magnificent job. We could not imagine if we had shoddy workmanship when we could not inspect the works progress. Steve is easy to work with and expects the highest standard from his talented tradespeople
We absolutely recommend him.

Hi Steve,

The end product is better than what I had envisaged. You were able to listen to my ideas on what I wanted and make them a reality with more attention to the final finish than I had expected

One of the fears of most people who renovate is what the hidden costs may be once unknown aspects of the existing building come to light during the construction. You were ahead of the game in predicting what some of those issues could be and quick to inform me of what the implications could be once they were confirmed. This took a lot of stress out of the realisation of the project as, like most people, we were on a tight budget.

From the outset you informed me that one of your expectations in managing construction was constant and honest communication between the builder and the client. To this end you phoned me regularly to inform me of what was happening and what would happen next. Also, all adjustments or changes to the initial design and selection of hardwares, tiles, paint colours etc. were discussed before being executed.
Another aspect of such projects that can cause stress for clients is not knowing how the costs of the project are going and what further costs might occur due to changes etc. however I found that all official communications regarding costs and compliance matters were handled expertly and professionally.

So, Steve, I couldn’t be happier with the project that you realised for me. It is proving to be very comfortable and practical and a great improvement to the twenty-five year old house. Many thanks for your own gentle, knowledgeable and professional competency and management of this project. I am most grateful.

St Andrews Constructions were engaged to completely renovate our Las Rias apartment in Noosa.  As we live interstate, this required a much higher reliance on the builder and trust in the project management process.  We were totally satisfied with the entire project, it was completed in time, within budget and to the highest standards.  We were most impressed with Steven’s attention to detail, practical solutions and ethical approach.  The work was also managed within restricted working hours to allow for the normal functioning of adjoining apartments.  During construction we were kept fully informed of the progress with regular emails, phone conversations and photographs.  In addition, Steven worked collaboratively with an interior designer and all furniture and soft furnishings were also completed within the allocated time frame.  We would thoroughly recommend the services of St Andrews Constructions.

Regards

Mary and I have been pleased and relieved to have been introduced to Steve. His advice on property and building matters is always sound and worth hearing. His pricing is fair and we have found his tradesmen to be reliable and doing really first class work.

We are delighted to have been introduced to St Andrews Construction and look forward to using their services in the future.

Steve at St Andrews Constructions assisted us in a very short turnaround in co-ordinating trades so that we could relocate to Noosa Junction from Noosa Civic in under 4 weeks … he really made it happen in a very calm and organised way always focusing on the solution rather than the problem. We would use him again on our Sunshine plaza fitout when it comes up.

We used St Andrews Constructions to completely renovate 2 of our holiday letting apartments at Noosa’s Little Cove.  

The renovation works were done for an excellent price, on time, and to our quality standard.   

We are very happy with the result and have no problems recommending Steve and St Andrews Constructions to anyone contemplating similar work.

Having purchased our dream block of land with an existing house that needed a full renovation, we started the search for that ‘perfect’ builder to realise our dream home. We certainly found that and some in St Andrews Constructions!
We are expats, living in Singapore, so a builder we could trust was paramount. From the moment we met Steven, he exhibited a professionalism and care that we knew would be integral to a big renovation.
He saw our vision from the very begining, we returned to Singapore confident that our build was in very safe hands. This turned into 9 months of a happy fuss free build. Steven was always available for Skype calls, progressive talks and photos on how the build was going. Stevens trades are of the highest standard, all who speak very fondly of him which we knew was extremely important. Nothing was a problem for Steven to roll with, including changing plans mid build to incorporate an outdoor bathroom!! Steven works to keep costs down and variations tight. But the best part he is now a friend!!
Thank you Steven and all at St Andrews Constructions for such a happy journey and handing over our dream home.

We are very pleased to provide this testimonial for Steven at St Andrews Constructions. We used Steven to renovate our house in Upper Hastings St, Noosa. The renovation was an extensive renovation which turned a 3 bed, 2 bathroom house into a 6 bedroom, 4 bathroom house with a garage, swimming pool and half basketball court. We couldn’t have been happier with the result and were very impressed with the professionalism, attention to detail and integrity of Steven.

Our renovation was complicated by the fact that we were based in Singapore during the entire period but we were very pleased with the regular updates provided by Steven via email and phone. Steven also worked seamlessly with our architect, interior designer and landscape designer. Crucially, costs were clear and transparent and there were no hidden surprises.

Our project was completed on time and we are delighted with the end result!

We have no hesitation in recommending Steven and St Andrews Constructions.

We had a challenge on our hands to find a builder who was prepared to take on a modest extension and refurbishment to our Queenslander style home designed to pay tribute to an earlier architectural award winning extension, in terms of styling and build integrity.

It turned out to be our lucky day when we signed up with Steve of St Andrews Constructions.  Steve was warned we were sticklers for quality and precision, and he rose to the challenge, turning up sometimes several times a day throughout the build to ensure that progress was being maintained and that we were happy.

The build was completed to our total satisfaction in the promised time of eight weeks, thanks to Steve’s skill at anticipating each stage of construction and ensuring materials were on site promptly.  Steve’s principal carpenter, Soren, was meticulous in his attention to detail and a true craftsman.  He also had the skill of being able to come up with innovative solutions when any challenges presented themselves.  Never have we seen builders who were so thoughtful in terms of our privacy, and ensuring the site was left immaculate at the end of each day.  Contractors brought in for specialised tasks (flooring, painting etc) were also of a very high standard.

When you find a good builder they are gems to be treasured and shared only with the lucky few.  Steve and his team are those gems.  We couldn’t be more pleased with the result.

St Andrews Constructions have done a number of renovations at our resort, and every owner who has had work done by St Andrews have been extremely pleased with the quality of work.  I have found them very helpful in finishing the work on time so we can have the apartments back in the letting pool as soon as possible.

I would recommend them to anyone looking at doing renovations.

Regards,

Caroline, Manager of The Cove Resort

Over the past five years St Andrews Constructions has worked on several projects for our complex.  From full unit renovations, extensions to the main office and laundry, as well as maintenance and repair works.

We have always had constant communication regarding progress of works before and after commencement.  All staff were courteous and polite towards our in house guests and worked around the needs of the guests and onsite management and staff.

We will continue to work with the team at St Andrews Constructions as we have future projects already underway.  We highly recommend this efficient and reliable company.

Danielle Nixon

Resort Manager, Las Rias Resort

I have known Steve and the St Andrews Constructions team for nearly seven years and have always been impressed by their care and attention to our building projects.  We have used their services extensively over those years by engaging them to build large scale commercial builds right down to changing a washer in a tap on a rental property.

I highly recommend their services for any project and am confident that their personal touch will see any customer come back again.

Thanks,

David Langdon

Owner, Aspire Property Management

We have used Steve and the St Andrews team over the years relating to renovation and repairs.  We have been extremely pleased with the service provided and the end result.

Steve is extremely knowledgeable with regards to his trade and provides practical and, when necessary, innovative solutions to problems we have presented him with.  He will not go for the easy solution but the correct solution, which in the end we have found has paid back the initial outlay.

His team are friendly, courteous, tidy and very hardworking.

We have been very satisfied with the end result of the renovations and would have no trouble in recommending St Andrews Constructions to others (as we have done previously!)

I was recommended St Andrews Constructions when I wanted some work done on my property at Hastings Park, Noosa before putting it on the market.  Although overseas at the time, St Andrews Constructions prepared a priced Schedule of Works in conjunction with my Agent, Tom Offerman.  The proposal and price were competitive and realistic and I instructed St Andrews to proceed.  The works were completed quickly and professionally with no problems regarding minor changes in scope.  Based on my experience with St Andrews, I would be more than happy to recommend them to other property owners in the area.

We would like to convey our special thanks to your team at St Andrews for the wonderful job you did on our recent apartment renovations.  We are delighted with the final product and appreciated your suggested modifications.  The extra time and effort put in were certainly worthwhile and we especially appreciated regular updates and progress photos.

Onsite management was most impressed with your work ethic and workmanship and have been approached by other owners for your contact details.  We are receiving very positive feedback about the new look apartment.

It was a pleasure to work with you and we hope we will have the opportunity to use your services again in the future.

St Andrews Constructions in recent years have completed several projects for the Sunshine Beach Surf Club with some in the tens of thousands dollar range and three in excess of $400,000.

The St Andrews Constructions team have completed all jobs on or before time, and to date we have had no nasty budgetary surprises.

St Andrews Constructions work in well with structural engineers, designers and other stakeholders, and have been very understanding of the commercial realities of our business to minimize the impact to trading during the construction phase.

We are only too happy to recommend St Andrews Constructions to prospective clients.

GENERAL MANAGER

St Andrew’s Constructions have been contracted to undertake various work at this college over the past five years. Firstly, we have always found St Andrews are great to deal with – very professional, punctual and learned in identifying options to gain the best outcome of work to be completed.

The work has always been first class – on time and on budget.

We have no hesitation in recommending St Andrews Constructions.

We recently had a full house renovation done by St Andrews Constructions. This is our third major renovation and we have to say it was the easiest and smoothest job done yet.

St Andrews Constructions experience in project management shines through and their eye for detail and getting on top of issues is incredible. Nothing was too hard for them making it easy for us to communicate our thoughts and ideas without fuss, this gave us a real sense of trust and security… something that is often hard to find with builders.

Their time management is meticulous and they kept us informed all the way through so that we knew what was happening and when it was happening.

We added a few things along the way and the finish timeframe still stayed the same…. unheard of in my experience with other builders !

They are very thoughtful about the intrusion that renovating and building can be on family life and they are always checking on the welfare and happiness of the whole family including any fur babies you may have.

St Andrews have only the friendliest and best workman on site, they were all very respectful and did a fantastic job leaving us very happy and content all the way through the build.

At the end of the project the house was thoroughly cleaned and ready for furniture placement making the flow back to normal life a breeze… not forgetting the excitement of having a beautifully finished home.

We now have the house of our dreams thanks to the team from St Andrews Constructions,

Cheers Darren and Cathy Coster

We used St Andrews Constructions to build the entire fit out of our restaurant including the installation of the kitchen and bar, cabinetry, plumbing and wiring.  We were guided through each stage of the build, they worked closely with us, keeping us fully informed and adhering to budgets. In fact, we came in slightly under budget!  St Andrews went that little bit further and designed and built our large signage and menu display board adding the personal touch. The quality of St Andrews  workmanship is excellent and all the trades people used were reliable, friendly and competent. We would have no hesitation in recommending St Andrews Constructions.

Cheers
