SJR Builders

Quality, Detail, Satisfaction

Since the formation of the company in 1972, we have stood for three things quality, detail and satisfaction.

A further corner stone of our company philosophy is continual upskilling. The building industry is not static, it is a fluid environment in which new ideas, materials and techniques mean that we have to be up to date with new developments at all times.

Our work with customers is about building a relationship between ourselves, the customer, the architect and all parties involved in the project. This relationship builds trust and with trust we achieve greater results.

Trust through partnership and communication
We become involved in projects at many different stages, but we do find that if we are consulted early on in the process we are able to help to an even greater degree in making the project run smoothly and meet needs and goals.

"Embarking on a build can be stressful enough but when it’s a major renovation and you have a baby on the way and three other children under 5 it could be a nightmare!

We are really grateful to the team at Stewart Hanna for making our renovation such a good experience. Our project was a pretty major strip out, rebuild and re-clad with most areas of the house experiencing some change. For the early stages we were still living in the home as it was being pulled apart, it can be difficult having all the builders coming and going but the guys on site were great! They were really respectful and did their best to keep me informed of when the noise was going to kick in or the dust was about to blow.

The project took almost 12 months and I think the strength of the Stewart Hanna team was in the communication. I met with Steve Ross each month and we looked at what was coming up as well as where we were compared to the budget. We were able to make informed decisions well ahead of time if product was not available or if we were looking for savings. That mean’t…there were no surprises.

Steve was great at coming up with ideas where we needed to differ from the architect’s plan or helping us finish off areas that hadn’t been in the original plan.

We are completely happy with all of the aspects of our home and would definitely use Steve and the Stewart Hanna team again in the future if we were looking to build or renovate." - Ali and Garry Mallett

"To whom it may concern — Reference for Stewart Hanna Ltd 
We would like to commend Stewart Hanna Builders to anyone with a building project in mind. 

Steve Ross and his team constructed our new house and we have been hugely impressed with the results, the quality of the work, and the attention to detail. The company are plainly committed to the highest standards of workmanship in their work and in the work of all their subcontractors. We have been in the house for eight months now, and continue to be impressed with the work done; the attention to detail in the finishing is amazing. The architect is equally pleased with the results. 

We interviewed several builders before we began. Stewart Hanna Ltd were well recommended, but they had our trust and confidence right from our first meeting. Steve Ross was prompt and accurate with his price quotation and proposal, and throughout the project he made suggestions that improved results and avoided unnecessary costs. The project proceeded on time, and closely followed the work schedule provided at the beginning. Throughout the project it was evident that Stewart Hanna and their sub-trades are very conscientious about their work, and always did that little bit extra. 

Steve worked closely with the architect at all stages. He returned our calls promptly and took the time to work with us, as decisions were required. Nothing was ever a problem. On the few occasions where there were differences of opinion, they were resolved quickly and cordially. The relationships between builder and clients was a happy one. It was also evident that Stewart Hanna are good at maintaining effective relationships with the architect, engineer, and building inspector, and with all the subcontractors that they employ. The building site was always tidy and the neighbors were happy with the activity during the construction process. 

We would not hesitate to refer Stewart Hanna Builders to any of our family or friends." - Barry Barton and Debra Stan-Barton
