Testimonials

"Toby and the team at Craft Homes made the whole building process a joy and they delivered above our expectations by getting us into our home one month ahead of plan and on budget. They were responsive, transparent, great to work with and nothing was ever too difficult"

Lisa and Fabian Partigliani

“Right from the start of our project, Toby was focused, knowledgeable, and inspired confidence. Our project was quite complex architecturally, and demanding on the building team. The Craft Homes team never missed a beat, even on the rare occasions when revisions to align with the plan were needed. The team are hardworking professionals, committed to the project and the timetable, and justifiably proud of the quality of their work. I would recommend Craft homes unhesitatingly.”

Sam and Elena McClatchie

“The best decision of the whole project was to work with Toby and the Craft team. From day one he demonstrated an eye for detail, high standards and an anything is the possible attitude. A lasting impression we have is one of trust and partnership. On numerous occasions, he raised challenges, presented solutions and always listened to our point of view. Craft Homes - they know what they're doing and have a ferocious work ethic!”.

Myles Henaghan

“We would have no hesitation is recommending Toby. We love our new home and that is due to the high level of skill and precision delivered by Toby and his team. He remained on the job until everything was perfect”.

Mr and Mrs Spence

“Toby and his team were a machine of a team throughout our renovation project. The work ethic of all of his team was fantastic and the quality of their work was of a high standard. We highly recommend Craft Homes to any person doing a renovation project”

Amanda and Julien Thery

"Not only is Toby a great builder but he's just a good guy. When you're basically living through the renovation this was important for my family and I. Toby also came up with lots of good ideas that the architect hadn't thought of and had access to very good sub-contractors. Would highly recommend"
