“We first used Brian / Built to Last back in 2009 when we decided to extend our previous property with a 120sqm hard wood deck with a covered entrainment area that turned a rather ordinary project home into the a property that captured the market when we finally sold it eight years later. It was interesting reading the 2009 testimony for once again BTL ticked the relevant boxes to the extent that we didn’t go to open tender but rather focused on getting the right design / budget and material selection with Brian / BTL.

2009 testimony “Our priority in a builder was someone with relevant experience in the local council / area, someone to “tweak” the final design through construction “smarts”, treat the project with professional enthusiasm and most importantly had the ability (and patience) to work with us.”

So what’s changed since 2009, from our end, not too much. Brian to his credit resolved some tricky design elements of our property and helped us get the relevant statutory requirements, whilst still giving us a budget that worked for us all. The service & patience is similar to that of 2009, but the acquired knowledge of BTL in the last 10 years has certainly grown to reflect requirements of modern construction / living spaces.

The build was completed like clock-work. We had our deck for Christmas, with the final design tweaks from Brian working a treat for a large gathering on a hot Boxing Day party. The overall deck build quality / attention to detail speaks for itself and if you are serious, arrange for a site visit via Brian.”

“I engaged Brian Wells (Built to last) for a large extension & renovation of my home at Kenthurst, which included new bedrooms, bathrooms, triple garage, rendering & re-roofing in colourbond.

During this time I found Brian and all of his subcontractors to be both very professional and most obliging.

I would recommend him without hesitation.”

“For twenty-five years, we’ve been living without a driveway due to a pronounced sloping, rocky block of land surrounded by lots of trees.

After the trees were removed, our request was simple but challenging. To excavate the land and construct a functional driveway so that we could park our vehicles inside the carport.

As Sydney property prices continue to rapidly increase, with owners are opting to renovate instead of relocate the challenge of finding a good, reliable, professional construction company that was prepared to do the task and work in favour of us was near impossible.We contacted five companies and chose to go with Brian Wells because he epitomised what we were looking for. My wife and I discussed our building requirements with Brian over a cup of coffee and it didn’t take us very long to decide that he was the one best suited for the job.

The reason why we liked Brian is because he didn’t over complicate, over engineer or present us with doom and gloom scenarios. His very calm and quiet approach belies and his building skills and experiences. He’s a very good listener and able to clarify and confirm exactly what you would like, what is possible and what is achievable with a degree of difficulty. He offers honest professional advice with pros and cons devoid of the sales pitch. We really like this trait.

We are extremely satisfied with the end result. The driveway was constructed to our satisfaction, in fact we believe Brian and his team went over and above to deliver a beautifully constructed driveway. His team of builders were polite, worked neatly while on site and protected our property. There was no need to clean up after them. Costing and invoicing was good and aligned with the quotation with no surprises.
We have developed an excellent business relationship and would like to continue that into the third phase of our home improvement project.

We have no hesitation in recommending Brian Wells and his team to other prospective clients.”
