    "Tony did a wonderful job in getting our house ready for us to move in - we had 5 weeks in which to get an internal wall moved, the back door relocated, bathroom stripped and refitted, laundry relined and kitchen stripped and relined ready for a refit.
    Tony was very quick to get back to us, was always on time and communicated well with us. He did a good job of getting other tradies lined up to come in on time and we were able to move in on the weekend we had initially planned to. He got a lot… of extra work done in that time - laid some wooden flooring, reframed wardrobes and hung doors and went out of his way to ensure everything had a high quality finish.

    Tony has great attention to detail and his work is meticulous - no shortcuts are taken. He provided us with a lot of guidence and suggestions and we really appreciate the very high quality of his work.

    We wouldn\'t hesitate to recommend Tony and will definately call on him again should we require any further work to be done.    "

    "To all.
    Tony was very prompt with the quote & once we decided to go ahead with the job (wife gave me grief) he was great.
    Arriving as early as was possible for a full days work.
    Quality & finish was outstanding, great to see a prefessional apprieciate fine details.
    When there was a problem he contacted me & we sorted out the additional hassle which was not too big a problem.    "

    "Tony did a good job with initial framing in the first week. Received NSCC approval for work. Subsequent work (gibbing especially) was substandard. Had difficulty working with/around other contractors (None of his contractors were available/competitive for this project) Tony was very slow & inflexible after first week, although he was very honest in charging.

    Tony cost us several hundred dollars in remedial gib work & plastering Would not recommend for large or complicated projects… requiring gib work. Probably good for straightforward bathroom renovations without completion deadlines."

    Hire a Builder responded:
    "We were unprepared for the level of micro management and dis organization on this project which was as a result of the clients attempt to project manage their own job. This was a regrettable and avoidable situation, however we did complete the project as much as we were able, given the constantly reducing time and budget restraints imposed. "

    "We are very happy with all aspects of the work Tony has done on the alterations to the kitchen/dining/lounge area in our home and have no hesitation in recommending his work to others. His good advice, attention to detail & flexibility in fitting in with our schedule were also much appreciated.

    "I was highly impressed with Tony! I contacted three builders to get quotes, and Tony was the only one to make an actual time with me during our conversation. During the quote, he gave me lots of useful information about the work that needed doing. His quote was literally half of another builder I contacted. On the day he showed up well prepared and had anything he needed. The work was completed to a high standard and he talked me through what he was doing and asked my opinion when he came to a… cross road. At the end of the day, he even came in $50 under budget, which was very honest as he could have easily charged me the quote price. I will definitely be using Tony again in the future and I would recommend him to anyone :) Thanks for the great job!"

    "February 2010

    To Whom It May Concern

    I’d like to place on record, a testimonial for Tony Ranby, in the high standard of service and skill he offers, as well as his dependability.

    He has done two renovations for me.
    One was the creation of a composite of kitchen units. The other, was in creating a new wall and doorway.

    With the varied aspects related to both of the above, his skill is unquestionable, and his attention to detail, very reassuring.

    I would have no hesitation in… recommending him to anyone undertaking projects where his services are required.

    Thank you Tony, for a project superbly completed.

He was very polite and had some great suggestions and ideas of what materials would look best in the bathroom and kitchen which he completed in good time. I am more than satisfied with the work done and would be very happy to recommend him."
