Testimonials

"Matt stepped in after a string of disappointing tradies during our three-year house renovation. He was a game-changer. Trustworthy, efficient, and reliable, Matt didn't require constant supervision. He was friendly, easy to work with, and refreshingly honest. His craftsmanship was impeccable, and he tackled challenges with creative problem-solving. I highly recommend Matt for his exceptional skills, professionalism, and dedication to customer satisfaction."
Kimberly Wong.
"D Construction was awesome. The builder, Matt was genuine, helpful, considerate and a great communicator. He gave me a range for the job, which I felt was fair given renovations can have unknowns. He did more than was expected. He collaborated excellently with other contractors to get the job done. He checked in on the job to ensure good quality workmanship. He also supported me when I had queries or concerns, taking the time to explain things to me, which I really appreciated. I WILL be calling him back again"
Martine Gibson.
Matt's communication style is amazing - professional, clear, calm and accurate, and his work ethic (and the entire D-Construction team) was fantastic. Matt took ownership of the project above and beyond what could be expected - overseeing the smallest of details (likely to be forgotten) and also expertly project managing all of the other trades onsite. Matt took all of the pressure and stress off us and delivered an incredible final product. The honesty and reliability of the team were also really appreciated. Thank you team D-Construction we look forward to working with you again soon! Can't recommend highly enough.
Mark & Sarah Harris
I had the best experience of having Matt attend to all the aspects required for my leaking home. One of those “unexpected dilemmas” following cyclone Gabriel. I truly do recommend D-Construction as a reputable,reliable,trustworthy company. All the staff he employs are of his high standard, the worry is taken care of and an excellent end result.
