Testimonials

What our clients say

Neale Tomlin

We have used Blythe & Watchorn Builders for three renovations (over two houses). Rob has a great eye for design and integrated the renovations and extensions very well onto our older homes. His construction staff are excellent, and the attention to detail first class. Once the build is complete, Rob is more than happy to resolve any small issues and is interested in your house well after the contract is completed. We are looking forward to our next renovation with Rob and his team.

Darren & Karen Turner

Rob and his team were fantastic to work with from concept right through to end result, and their discipline in managing each key element to a quality finish was greatly appreciated.

Chris Ludford and John Lahey

We are so happy with the work Blythe & Watchorn did for us. Mitch the project manager has done a fantastic job, the joinery and construction is outstanding. The team Rob uses are a delight to work with and Rob's weekly tally sheets and very detailed quote made the whole process pleasing and stress free.

Jo Dumergue

Rob Watchorn and his project manager made the entire process smooth and stress-free right from the start. Rob's initial meeting with us outlined the process, the costs & the timeline – which were adhered to the end. Rob demonstrated a strong commitment to quality at every step and Dave's attention to detail and dedication to the project were evident, with the final result exceeding our expectations. We are incredibly satisfied with the work, and would highly recommend Blythe & Watchorn Builders to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled team for their construction needs.

Bruce Cameron

The external brickwork was expertly matched to the 1920's work of the original home. Our bathroom was finished in a timely and efficient fashion. The initial quotes were helpful and the building timeline maintained. The Team is to be commended for high professional standards and we would certainly use their services if required in the future.

Lindy Mackay

The entire project was well co-ordinated and ran to time. Rob and the whole team worked well to ensure the project was stress free from planning to completion. Dave the site foreman, kept me well informed of any changes or problems and offered suggestions and solutions, whilst leaving me to make well informed decisions.

Carol Altmann

Rob and his team were completely professional from start to finish, with great attention to detail, excellent communication and superb craftsmanship. David kept us fully informed on the work schedule, and the crew treated our property with respect – they are the tidiest builders we have ever dealt with! You may find cheaper builders, but you won't find better, so it's without hesitation that we highly recommend Blythe & Watchorn.
