Just wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank you for all the repairs you’ve done around my home.
The professionalism and respect that you displayed is something that’s rare to find in this day and age.
You’ve been able to rise to the challenge where others haven’t.
You have given me a kitchen that I am proud of in which I can now share with my grandchildren. It has become the heart of my home.
~Jacquelene Cook
At the start of 2010 we decided to renovate our 150 year old, three level terrace. This required structural work, a new roof, completely new electricals, a totally new kitchen area, refurbished deck including waterproofing and tiling, rebuilt Juliet balcony off the second bedroom.
Sydney Building helped us initially to assess the extent of the work required, listening to how we used the different spaces. His respect for quality and functionality meant that we were well guided. Sydney Building was keen to maintain the terrace’s period features, even polishing the original floorboards himself. His network of contacts meant that other contractors proved excellent: painters; plasterer; electrician; floor tilers of balconies; balustrade builder.
Throughout the 10 month process, Sydney Building was available, always responding quickly to phone calls, visited the work site daily and invited emails listing jobs to be competed. He was very interested in new products and processes sourced by us, eg; Vergola deck covering; Uretek resin injection for stabilising foundations.
We’re very happy with our rejuvenated living conditions and would highly recommend Sydney Building of SBR to other renovators.

Sydney Building Renovations replaced the roof of our house and carried out extensive interior repairs to damp and water damaged areas.
Sydney Building's team really understand what is meant by the term "Quality" and this runs through every aspect of their work.
As a working couple if was critical for my wife and I to find a company that would manage all aspects of the work on our house and manage the project for us. Sydney Building exceeded my expectations throughout this project.
He made appointments and he kept to them. If he, or any of his team was going to be late I would receive a phone call 30 minutes before the scheduled time telling me there would be a delay and giving me a revised time.
Teams of skilled Tradesmen arrived at our house in the right order, all knowing exactly what piece of work they were tasked with, trucks arrived carrying materials at the right time, every time.
Every piece of work was carefully explained to us and at each stage all the available options were given to us to choose and the work was carried out to the highest standards.
We will be using Sydney Building Renovations for any future work on our property and I would not hesitate to recommend Sydney Building Renovations to anyone looking for a quality building company.
~Simon Myers, Project Manager

My name is Cara Appleton and I have volunteered to write this testimonial regarding Sydney Building Repairs.
Earlier this year, my husband and I purchased our first home; an older house in the suburbs that needed quite extensive cosmetic renovation. I first came across Sydney Building Repairs in the search for an expert to make some repairs to the piers beneath the home. Upon meeting Sydney Building, we were not only thoroughly impressed with his knowledge and extensive qualifications, but also with his friendly but professional approach. The work was completed quickly and with obvious attention to detail, which subsequently led us to utilise the services of Sydney Building Repairs for making changes to an internal wall.
From here, as can happen during a renovation, we uncovered a number of ‘surprises’ in the house, including an extremely poorly constructed sub-floor in our kitchen and rotting walls behind the then current tiles in the bathroom. As first home-buyers with the birth of our first child imminent, it was crucial that we kept to a budget so my husband was doing much of the work himself. Sydney Building's team from Sydney Building Repairs enthusiastically welcomed a barrage of questions that my husband put forward about how best to tackle these obstacles. They were always on hand with sensible advice that allowed us to stay within our budget.
It soon became obvious that we needed an expert, as the job was becoming somewhat overwhelming in terms of the level of expertise required and also the investment of time. It was at this point that we called upon Sydney Building Repairs to take over the project, a move that proved to be an exciting turning point in the renovation.
By the time our house was completed, Sydney Building Repairs had been responsible for the following work:
Repairs to pier-work and sub-floor ventilation
Widening and re-shaping an arched internal doorway
Re-constructing bearers and joists under kitchen floor, including making cost-saving suggestions that still addressed important considerations such as pest-control
Fitting out bathroom, including replacing rotten walls, making design suggestions, providing certified waterproofing, installing new windows and project management to ensure that plumbers and electricians worked in synchrony
Repairing spots of rising damp
Other minor repairs
Giving extensive advice regarding all manner of building and repair questions
All of the above work was undertaken and followed through upon the terms of the relevant building contracts where applicable.
I would unreservedly recommend Sydney Building Repairs to anyone looking for a true master in the field of Building."
Yours sincerely,
~Cara Appleton
Everyone involved with Sydney Building Repairs were all a pleasure to have around when we were getting renovations done. My wife and I both really trusted Sydney Building. He kept to his word. They was mindful of my wife's safety, who at the time was pregnant. He was also mindful of our financial situation with a new addition on the way. He was punctual, reliable, personable and very professional. He made an effort to drop a gift over to my son two months after he had finished up on the job.
The renovations themselves have made a priceless difference to our home. It has opened it up and bought a new life into it. My brother in law, who owns a real estate agency says that the financial value of the property has far outweighed the expenditure of the renovations themselves.
I would and have recommended Sydney Building to anyone. I think it is rare to find someone that you genuinely trust in an industry that is filled with so many horror stories.
~Matt Zeremes. Leichhardt.
I would like to thank Sydney Building Repairs for their service and great work!

Dear Sydney Building,
Happy Christmas and New Year! And thanks for the Christmas card. Apologies for not writing to say thank you for the excellent work you did earlier, but we wanted to wait a few months. Anyway, three months gone and the floor you spent so much care over looks as good as when you laid it! And the damp proofing and subfloor ventilation seem to be working fine. We are very grateful for the personal approach you took with us, guiding us through every step of the way. It was quite daunting being first home buyers so the way you walked us through every part of the work was very reassuring. And thanks also for rearranging the piers to face the right way throughout the house, which was typical of you great attention to detail.
We know you are very busy, but when you get a chance, can you please send us the photos you took? That way we can have a record of the floor as it developed from nothing but eaten through piers and stumps through to the beautiful finished product.
Good luck with the rest of your qualifications, and we will definitely call you for more work when the time is right.
~Patrick and Danielle
I employed Joseph of Sydney Building consultants to write a building expert report for a NCAT hearing.
He was a great help at the hearing. He clarified the issues clearly and concisely to the NCAT member, resulting in a favourable resolution for me.
I found Sydney building consultants approachable, honest and professional.
I am very happy with his services and have no hesitation in recommending Joseph. I will employ him again myself.
