What made you choose OpticBuild over another building company?
We had been through a few renovation companies and we were unable to commit to any of them because they couldn’t answer basic questions as to what was covered in their estimates if we asked about specific things. Daniel’s estimate was a comprehensive 15 pages, broken down into different areas and listed specific things. It was much more detailed and inclusive than anyone else had been able to provide. We felt confident that everything had been covered so there wouldn’t be any major surprises during the construction period. He also listed a variety of options for each are where savings could be made if we wanted. Daniel knows his stuff, checks over everything on the plans with you and was able to answer any questions we had. He also project managed and organised all the tradespeople.
Daniel was also able to take us to his current project and show us around, talked to us about different aspects of the build so we were able to see the quality of the workmanship of the builders and tradespeople.
What gave you confidence in the OpticBuild team during the construction process?
Daniel is very astute and knows his trade well. The team of builders we had on site were fantastic – they would ring and ask questions if there was anything that needed clarifying, I was able to visit the site frequently to see how things were going and they left the site tidy and secure every day. The guys were a pleasure to deal with. No build is without the odd hiccup and we had a couple of minor issues which were dealt with openly and options were always given to be able to resolve things quickly.
Would you recommend OpticBuild to someone else, if so why?
Yes we would recommend Daniel and OpticBuild. He is professional in his approach to everything, is happy to answer any questions or give advise as to what would give the best outcome or save money. We love our renovated home and are very happy with the overall quality of the finishing and the completed product, we wouldn’t change anything.
