“We were impressed from our very first engagement with him.”

We were recommended to Josh by our architect. He gave us the names of three builders, and we ended up choosing Josh from Kit-Markin. We had a lot of trust in our architect and felt that both he and Josh would work well together – and they did.

From the beginning, Josh showed a clear understanding of what we were trying to achieve. During the tender process, that really came through in the discussions and what he presented, which was important to us. We hadn’t built before, so we weren’t entirely sure what to expect, but we were impressed from our very first engagement with him.

Throughout the build, that professionalism continued. We looked forward to receiving our regular site summaries and appreciated how Josh made the effort to clearly document and capture all the changes we made along the way. One thing worth highlighting is his flexibility – we made several changes during the build, and nothing ever felt like a problem. We’ve been told that kind of adaptability is rare in the building industry.

We were also really impressed with the finishing details. Our architect was pleased too – it was clear their design was brought to life by skilled, quality tradespeople.

To top it all off, we were thrilled to hear that this project won a national award. From what we understand, those aren’t easy to achieve, so it was a massive recognition of the Kit-Markin team’s quality and hard work.

We are more than happy to recommend Kit-Markin Construction for any project.
