Trust Your Builder

Building can be a nerve-wracking experience and takes a leap of faith. Finding a builder you trust makes the journey easier. Choose a builder recommended from a trusted source, then get to know them:

Number of Projects: An established builder will have a long track record with positive word of mouth referrals.

Size of Team: A well-resourced builder will have effective administrative support, clear communication with clients and efficient coordination of trades.

Job Site: Visit a current project to see if the job site is clean with organised materials and well-presented trades

References: Speak with both past and current clients, particularly those in the middle of construction to get a balanced opinion of the builder.

At Grand Pacific Homes, owners Mark and Clint O’Connor believe trust is the basis of every good building relationship. They are hands on in every project and are invested in getting the best result for our clients.
