G.J. Gardner Homes - Geelong

Being a first homebuyer I was completely unaware & new to the building process. I initially thought this would be a hectic experience but found it was unbelievably simple through GJ Gardner.From the beginning, completing the initial planning & design, I was professionally guided by Marcus, who went out of his way to make sure I had all areas of my build covered, he was more than happy to give up his time on multiple occasions to assist me with this, I can’t speak more highly of him.On to the next step of contract administration I was introduced to Maddie who was there at all times to promptly answer all of my questions & help me put all the pieces together to create my home. Maddie & Renee worked tirelessly & constantly kept me updated through this entire process, I’m in awe of their customer service & work ethic.Once my build was underway Paul kept me in the loop on all aspects of construction.Jeremy my site supervisor was always there, at all times, to meet with me on site and guide me through all stages of construction. I found Jeremy to be a true professional who exhibited the ability to explain the process in great detail that was easy to understand. Construction of the property progressed seamlessly and on time, which I was extremely impressed with.Before I knew it my house was built and just about ready to move in.Jared the construction manager took me through a final walkthrough of my property & assisted me with the finishing touches.On handover Jared explained all the information regarding my new property & made sure I was aware of all the important aspects.I’m absolutely impressed with the quality of the finished product and the outstanding customer experience.If you’re thinking of building a home I couldn’t recommend GJ Gardner highly enough.

I used GJ Gardner Geelong to take me through getting a subdivision and development permit as well as doing the building development later on. They were absolutely amazing! We did the subdivision application with Michael helping us and he was responsive, friendly and helpful. When doing the build Renee took me through all the admin and colour schemes, etc. and was absolutely lovely to deal with and again very fast with responding to my queries.When the build was under way I was in contact with Jared and Bernie a lot who were also very friendly and helpful.I then dealt with Bernie who was simply superb. Nothing was too much trouble. He went above and beyond to assist me with little bits of work needed at the house and even helped me find trades for the post-build work since I couldn't travel down to Geelong during lockdown. The few times I was able to visit, Bernie would already be there when I arrived, generally sweeping something, tidying up or doing something useful while he waited for me. There were several times I had queries or issues I needed solved and Bernie and the team were always very quick to action and resolve things.It was my first time doing a subdivision and development and things went pretty smoothly with GJ Gardner assisting me every step of the way.The finished house was amazing and we had several applications on it and it was rented out in under 2 weeks.I would highly, highly recommend this company and the great team down there.

It was an awesome experice with GJ Gardner. We are from Melbourne and we built our house in Geelong . Ron helped us during the planning phase. He has vast experience in planning a house on a tricky block of land. Though it was lockdown due to COVID-19 and we were not able to visit the site, we never felt left out as Chris kept us in the loop with photos and videos about progress of building. Site managers like Chris brings in world of difference to our entire journey and makes it more memorable.

Great Experience!!My experience with GJ Gardner Homes in Geelong has been nothing but wonderful since the day I walked into the display home in Torquay and met David Graham. The patience he showed for me was amazing. I had a million changes due to Council requirements and he was always incredibly helpful and kind. Thank you David.I was then passed on to Madelaine Davies in the office for the next phase. She was great too. She put up with me and helped me through all the intricate selections for my new home. Thanks for your all your help again Maddy.And then I met Chris Niblett. My construction manager. If you get Chris as your manager, it is your lucky day. He had everything super organized and things went very smoothly even with all the little things that always pop up. I have lost my job due to covid so Chris made sure my house stayed right on the tracks for me the whole time. He made sure nothing got in the way. His organizational skills made the build very stress free. Thank you Chris.My house is finished and absolutely beautiful. I have had zero issues but if I did I wouldn’t hesitate to call David, Maddy or Chris. I know they would look after me.

GJ Gradner built my house in 2018 from their express range called Nova. The build was well managed and Geelong staff professional.It's a good straight solid house . They use rafting for house foundations and It has no cracks inside after 3 years and l love the design. I felt safe during the recent storms. I had some trouble with the appliances not connected properly or lower end quality and wish l chose them more carefully but there was some maintenance follow up which others do not provide. The key to building a house is having a master builder solely responsible in this case was Rohan Smith. I found other builders not able to provide one person solely responsible if something goes wrong. I would recommend GJ Gardner as a builder in the Geelong area.

Thank you GJ Gardner Geelong for all your hard work and amazing job. Being first time building is not easy but you make the whole experience simple and stress free.Chris -site supervisor helped me every step of the way and kept me updated the whole time without any difficulty .Darren, Maddie and Renee did a fantastic job by guiding and helping me throughout the process .With all the team help , got a beautiful home. TheI would highly recommend to anyone who is building in the near future.

Being our first home, we did a lot of research for a building company, and we found GJ Gardner to have the best reviews. Our experience with GJ Gardner has been exceptional from the beginning. They kept us up to date and informed throughout the build and even accommodated some additional requests. Renee was fantastic and made the administration a breeze, and gave some great help and advice when it came to choosing our finishes. Any questions we had were always answered promptly. Our sight manager, Chris, was extremely knowledgeable and manged our build meticulously, allowing us to move into our new home well before the scheduled finish date, even with our additional requests. He communicated with us regularly and ensured the standard of work was high quality. We are very happy with our new house and a huge thank you to Renee, Chris and Matt. We will definitely recommend GJ Gardner!!

We're not regular review posters but felt compelled to share our fantastic experience with GJ Gardner Geelong.From the design phase with Ron, to contracts with Maddie and the build with Peter we found the team responsive, honest and knowledgeable. And importantly, friendly and enjoyable to talk to.Despite all the challenges of building through the covid period, our fantastic new home was remarkably on time and on budget. This is clearly a testament to the combination of the national scale that GJ enjoys, combined with the local can do customer focus of the Geelong team.And our amazing new home looks uniquely ours, given the flexibility of inclusions and alterations to standard designs that was allowed.I appreciate that this review sounds overwhelming positive but given that we selected GJ based partly on the strength of their reviews, we wanted to share our experience so a reader making a final selection enjoys the same benefit.One of the most satisfying customer service experiences that we have enjoyed.

GJ Gardner Geelong is the best I would like to say . I would like to give 5 start rating to my two super stars Ron and Chris.Both are very fantastic . Ron was our sales executive who understand our requirements and budget got our home design done and the block is 4 m fall block very tricky. I felt the hope of getting it built in my budget.But Ron understand my requirement and promised me it can be done. Next was our site supervisor Chris . He is so awesome kept us updated whole through the building process that to be in lockdown time where I cant travel to Geelong from Melbourne. He was sending us pictures of the house on each and every phases.Chris was very approachable, knowledgeable and passionate at his work. I would say he was giving details to even minor things get it fixed . Huge thanks to you Chris.

G.J. Gardner Homes in Geelong were amazing to deal with from start to finish during the build of our first home! Being a franchise is a game changer because there is clearly more care factor than the volume builders.
