TESTIMONIALS

“When it was time to build our house we were given Scott’s name by friends who had used him to build their house. We had spoken to the usual building companies but a glowing recommendation from trusted friends goes a long way.

We were very happy with our build. It was a quality job. Scott was very patient with us, kept us informed and guided us through the whole process. “

Scott (Abode Constructions) has built our house in Mawson in 2018 and we had a fantastic journey with him during the building phase. In the last 8 years, after hearing so many horror stories of my friends and colleagues with their house constructions, we feel lucky to have him as our builder. Even after 5 years completion of house, he is still our first point of contact to get any help on tradies and gardeners and he responds promptly and provides the relevant person(s) details to us until to date.

Without any hesitation, we can say he is one of the best and reliable builders that are available in Canberra market and whole heartedly recommend him to any person who is looking to build their dream house.

We are delighted to have selected Abode Constructions to build our custom home.

We wanted to build a unique custom home that was going to be here for the longevity of our family.

We wanted a modern look, with a resort style feel where we can sit down and entertain while watching our family play out in the pool and around the back yard all from the kitchen and open plan living area. The flow of the home from the front door through to the backyard pool and landscaped yard with an alfresco is just what we envisioned.

We are extremely pleased with the finished product and the seamless building process through construction with Scott and his team.

Abode Constructions is a highly professional build team lead and coordinated by Scott is the one I would recommend to anyone wanting to design and build a custom quality home.

Strong Communication, time management and attention to detail are some of the strong points for Abode Constructions. Scott has delivered us an exceptional and high-quality home which we are delighted to enjoy every day.

To whom it may concern,

We write in reference to our construction experience with Scott Simpson of Abode Constructions and Developments. We have been impressed with the quality of service and work that Scott has provided to us in the construction of our new home.

We engaged Scott in November 2012 to build our first home. From the outset Scott was transparent and upfront. He provided a competitive quotation and identified costs savings in our architectural drawings. This was in stark contrast to other Canberra builders we approached who provided over-inflated costs whilst trying to upsell us to use a ‘latest product’. We found Scott’s approach refreshing and supportive.

Scott’s attention to detail throughout the build was excellent. Where he identified problems in the build (unforeseen complications arising converting architectural drawings to construction materials), he made sure to make these known us immediately and gave us time to investigate options to proceed. We believe that Scott went above and beyond our expectations of what was required of him as our builder and he appeared genuinely interested in providing us with a quality home with quality finishes. Scott was also timely in addressing issues we raised with him during the build and this has continued post-build. The quality of the work in our new house is outstanding – we are delighted with the result and this is echoed in the comments we receive from friends and strangers.

We are extremely happy with our new house and we will recommend Scott and Abode Constructions to any friends or colleagues who are considering building in Canberra. We look forward to working with Scott in the future on our next build.

I engaged Abode Constructions to build my new home after speaking with several other builders. In the beginning, I was very uneasy about starting the project owing to the huge increases in building costs associated with shortages of building materials and reported failures of many construction companies across Australia. I thank my builder, Scott, for giving me the confidence to proceed. My project ran to schedule despite wetter than normal conditions during the construction phase. Throughout the project, Scott kept me up-to-date on the progress made and any issues that needed to be resolved, which was particularly helpful as I was living interstate at the time. In between my site visits, Scott sent me marked-up drawings/photos of various build/fitting options to help me choose my preferred option. After taking delivery of my new home, I am relieved that none of the home building horror scenarios that I had heard about on news media eventuated with my project. I found Scott to be easy to deal with, and most of all very fair and flexible in settling matters that needed to be resolved. The quality of workmanship throughout my new home exceeded my expectations. I am happy to recommend Abode Constructions to anybody who is planning a new home project.

Our dream home come true and easy with simple and straightforward building processes that Scott Simpson did at each stage. His work is super simple yet master class quality. One of our family friends recommended Abode constructions when we were looking for good builder and with first couple of interactions with Scott we got full confidence to go ahead. We thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful journey of building our dream home and Scott made that journey very beautiful for us.
Very highly recommend abode constructions and Scott Simpson if anyone wants to looking for reliable and trustworthy builder.
Thank you so much Scott for building our dream home.

We just wanted to say a big thank you to the team at Abode. We absolutely love the new house, it was well worth the wait! In the beginning, we had reservations about building a house given the nightmare stories we heard from people who had built before. I can safely say you have appeased all of these reservations. We really appreciated the transparency you provided throughout the process, I think that really contributed to the level of trust we had in you.

“We decided to build our house with Scott Simpson from Abode constructions after meeting with him to discuss our plans. Scott was able to provide a quick and accurate quote and met with us both on and off site to get a picture of what we wanted to achieve. Scott was able to work with our plans and designs and didn’t require that we use his plans as many other builders do. Scott managed to accommodate any changes we required and was always available to respond to any queries or problem solve any issues, offering his experience and advice. Scott was always upfront with both changes and costings and willing to offer alternative options when our budget required. We received a great finished product that really reflected what we wanted from our new home. We would highly recommend Scott from Abode Constructions for his high level of customer service and attention to detail.”

`We strongly recommend Scott ( Abode Constructions ) as a builder for constructing a new house…

Once the design of our house was finished, we were looking for a builder who would understand the value of an architectural design and someone who would work as a team. As an architect these were the two most important criteria for us while choosing a builder. Choosing Scott and Abode Constructions was the best decision we made in achieving the results we were after for our new house. Apart from his knowledge of construction, he was easy to work with, professional in his approach and someone who took complete ownership of the job till completion…Scott and his team showed a holistic approach to building where everything mattered, even things that wouldn’t be visible once the job is finished…

Moreover, this was all delivered within the agreed timeframe, which is truly commendable, considering the detailing and customisation we were after…

If we build again, we won’t hesitate to contact Scott ( Abode Constructions) again…’

We are really happy with Scott and abode team throughout the build, from day one. They are very professional and were always available to attend our needs, and advise on our questions and concerns. We are also pleased with the craftsmanship and the attention to detail. We are impressed with the transparency and communication.

We are extremely happy and delighted with the overall experience. Scott has been flexible, patient and very accommodative. He is thorough, responsible and very attentive throughout the build. He is very trustworthy and knowledgeable.

The whole process, from the time we first sat down with Scott to the time we took possession of our home was smooth. The house turned out great. Even afterwards, he had made sure we’re comfortable & settled in.

We’ve been in our home for over 3 years now and everything has been wonderful. We are grateful to Scott and abode team.

We would highly recommend Scott and abode constructions.

We have used Scott at Abode twice for building/renovation works. He is responsive and a great communicator as well as meticulous in his workmanship. I trust him wholeheartedly to do a thorough job. He and his team are completely reliable, honest and provide quality work. If we ever need any building or renovation work done in the future, I will be contacting Scott again and would not hesitate to recommend him and Abode to anyone.

“As first-time builders, we thoroughly researched builders and their building process. We were particularly impressed with Scott. We found him extremely hard-working, thorough and prompt in his explanation of all aspects of the building process and committed to working with us on building a high-quality custom home. We believe that the honesty, integrity, and dedication of Scott and his entire team at Abode Constructions was exceptional. We will certainly recommend Scott to any potential home builders.

We engaged Scott Simpson to knock-down and rebuild our new home in early 2021 and couldn’t be happier with our experience. We met with several builders but selected Scott based on his experience, knowledge, and ability to listen and understand our needs. We were also impressed with the quality of workmanship that we saw in his display home.

Using our own plans, Scott built a beautiful split-level home for us. He has a great eye for detail and high standards which meant he selected good quality suppliers and experienced tradespeople and managed them appropriately throughout the project. When we met with suppliers to select products they also spoke highly of Scott, and having worked with him on this build, we can see why he is so well respected. He kept us informed of progress and changes, responded quickly to emails and phone calls, and worked collaboratively with us to resolve issues. Scott was always calm and professional and had great advice.

Having now lived in the house for more than a year, we continue to be very happy with the result and receive so many compliments from friends and family that visit our home, including those that work in the building industry. We would recommend Scott without hesitation to anyone looking to build a new home.

This was our first time building, so we researched a lot, met many, spoke to few of his existing clients and then selected Abode Constructions. And we truly relish our decision.
Scott is so understanding, proper planner, well informed, quite professional, very flexible, properly managed, well documented, equally competitive and a polite builder.
He literally went above and beyond our expectations.
Quality of work is beyond appreciation. Not just we appreciate his work, but also any visitor, be it our friends, family, other tradesmen, landscapers, handymen, contractors that we had for other job/visits.
He did a quality job with our first house. Absolutely flat floor, even with floating timber work, straight walls, perfect 90° cornices. These are just few of many such things.

Highly recommended and we definitely will again choose him for our next project.
