5* experience from my very first meeting to discuss my family's needs for the renovation. Excellent design, clear and thorough pricing and superb trades to finish the job. No surprises that they have so many repeat customers and multiple house renovations in a single street.

Spacemaker designed and built a double storey extension to our single storey Victorian terrace home. Given the small size of the block the design and planning process was complicated, but they worked extremely hard to make sure it was appropriate and approved. Exceptional communication was demonstrated by Tim, Fiona and the team. Throughout the build Rob and then Sean worked closely with us and established a friendly, professional relationship which again made it easy to communicate. We are extremely pleased with the quality of the build and our whole family is loving living here. We highly recommend Spacemaker for your renovation, we honestly found the whole process less stressful than we expected and it was definitely worth it. We would use Spacemaker again if we were to renovate in future.

We are extremely happy with our Spacemaker Renovation several years later. This is largely due to the positive experience we had with all trades on site, their attention to detail and their  communication. Spacemaker delivered a quality build on budget and in a timely manner. I would highly recommend Rob and the team at Spacemaker if you are thinking of renovating your home.

Spacemaker were an absolute pleasure to deal with. Helping our young family through an extension while we lived in it! From the design, to the project management and build we felt we were in safe hands and with genuine people who had our interest at heart first. Would recommend Shaun & team to anyone.

A big shout to Shaun Chapman (our project manager) in particular who was always there to answer our questions, give us guidance/updates and always ensured we were on the right path. Couldn’t have done it better!

Christmas was at our house this year :-)

Spacemaker are a great team to work with through a renovation. The whole process from planning, design, building and finishes was so much easier to navigate with their expert knowledge and experience. Issues or concerns were addressed promptly and with respectful communication. The completed work was of a very high standard. Would definitely employ this talented group again.

It is my pleasure to review Spacemaker Home Extensions as builders of high quality and integrity.

From the initial quote through to the finished product, the team were approachable, willing to explore options for me, happy to give advice, and came up with alternatives for me when budget dictated.

Living on the same property as the build, the builders were always unintrusive and sensitive to our needs. The quality of the finished product is outstanding, and I would thoroughly recommend Spacemaker to anyone wanting to build or renovate.

Many thanks to Tim, Rob, Will, Ben and Shaun.

We are repeat Spacemaker customers for a reason - we cannot fault the integrity, capability, communication and care for their projects shown by them and their tradespeople. Travis Byrne is an exceptional project manager who not only executes and problem solves incredibly well, he looks after your project as if it's his own.

Great team to work with from the designer to the project manager and all the wonderful tradespeople. We still love our “new” house nearly five years from completion. We have had almost no issues but recently some light fittings in the kitchen cabinets came adrift and the response was immediate.
