Alpha 1 started our renovation in July. We had a very pleasant experience, always punctual and willing to listen when we suggested changes as often happened. When these changes could not be executed they were happy to suggest alternatives. We felt that security was a big priority for Alpha which made us feel relaxed with the whole process. Always leaving the site secure, tidy and were on budget. We will certainly be recommending Paul and his team to anyone requiring renovation work. We just couldn’t fault them! More...

We wouldn’t hesitate to use Alpha 1 again. Our experience, with having them renovate our house, was probably about as good as we could’ve hoped. Paul communicated well; was transparent with bills; and coordinated all the trades well, keeping pretty tight timelines, despite the challenges of COVID. All Paul’s team, and the subtrades he works with, were experienced, knowledgeable, and easy to get on with. The building site was kept clean and professional. Overall, the quality of the workmanship is spot-on, and the finished house is every bit as wonderful as what we’d initially envisaged from the architect’s plans. More...

We were fortunate enough to come across Alpha 1 builders by word of mouth from friends who had used them for previous projects. From the outset it was a pleasure working with Paul and the team. Budgets were detailed and variations clearly set out before work proceeded. Our site is tight and the project uncovered some unwelcome surprises from previous renovations, however Paul took these in his stride and was always focussed on solutions not problems. Our interior design was very detailed and highly specced but Paul managed the team to deliver a quality outcome that we think is spectacular. We were particularly lucky to have Tom overseeing things on site throughout the project – his attention to detail was phenomenal and he was a pleasure to have around. We would highly recommend Alpha 1 Builders for a renovation. More...
