What Our Clients Say

Geoff and his team were incredibly professional for our recent renovations. Geoff attended our property multiple times to answer questions and provide quotes. He was very responsive on both email and phone. His team left the site clean and tidy and were understanding of our children during the build. Geoff followed up at every step of the way. Would highly recommend him for your every need.

Robyn Gray

I cannot recommend Geoff and his team highly enough. At all times they were an absolute pleasure to deal with and the quality of their work is excellent. Bruin Builders worked seamlessly with our architect and their years of experience meant they were able to solve any problem and offer valuable advice when decisions were required.

Julie StannardNewmarket

Thanks Geoff and co, Jenny and I are very happy with the finished job and quality of workmanship.

Bruce and JennyAshmore

Please thank the tradesmen, apprentices and sub-contractors who worked on our house for a job well done, and for their high standard of work. We have been complimented many times for a job well done by neighbours and people in our street who watched as the build progressed.

IanSouthport QLD

Thank you so much Todd and Geoff for your commitment and work ethic and to Laura and Olly for the most gorgeous lunch. This really is life changing for us and so appreciative to all involved.

Judy GreenCoomera

JoAnne and I are absolutely thrilled with the job you have all done. We felt very comfortable with Geoff from the very first meeting. Thanks for the terrific job you’ve all done in making our home a pleasure to live in.

Terry and JoAnne RyderTarragindi

We had a large and fairly complex project, but Geoff and his team helped guide us all the way from the design stage to the finishing line. Geoff was great at identifying potential issues early enough so they didn’t become problems further down the track, he was also able to listen to what we wanted and managed to give us plenty of choices along the way. I was particularly impressed when I found that the whole Bruin team and contractors had the same attention to detail and high standards. I would definitely use Bruin builders again.

Adam StannardNewmarket

We have always found Geoff, his crew and subcontractors to be punctual, hard workers who have been delightful to work with. They handle any old house surprises with ease and thorough communication.
