Sowden Building Solutions

Toured a renovation in Annandale under construction with the intention of examining building details and getting to know the builder. I knew of Nick's reputation for technical excellence. Even so I was supprised at his knowledge and steadfastness in tackling such a challenging project. I left assured that the finished house would be one of the most comfortable, durable and hygienic in the whole Inner West. I departed very impressed; with more than a few new best practices!

Nick renovated my semi in 2019. He completed the job in the projected 12 weeks and came in under budget. Great attention to detail and a fine team - highly recommended.

Nick Sowden was picked up by a Magazine ReNew as a builder who opening new sustainable space and a winner of the council's Sustainable House of the year award.

Nick has done a number of jobs for us and we couldn’t be happier. He is extremely professional and punctual but possibly his best quality is his love of what he does and, as a result, his attention to detail. Not only a great builder, he has a flair for design. We will most definitely be using him for any future building projects and highly recommend him.

I contacted Sowden Building Solutions because they were local in my area. I needed a small renovation done on the flooring in my apartment after a flood. Nick was very efficient, knowledgeable and friendly. The work and attention to detail was impressive and of a high standard. Highly recommended!!

We were looking for sustainable options in our knock-down rebuild to minimise our environmental impact. We also wanted to address social sustainability issues to meet our needs as aging owners and also those of our daughter who has a disability. So we decided on a single-storey concept with environmental features such as hempcrete construction, passive heating and cooling, etc. The next challenge was to find an architect and builder who were on the same page. Few were willing to contemplate the use of hempcrete (or even know what it is). We were lucky to get connected with Nick, who introduced us to Tracy our architect. Together Nick and Tracy created a duplex home that meets our needs and which is a delight to live in. Nick also listened to our budgetary constraints, and provided advice as to where we could compromise or contribute ourselves without sacrificing too many features or any quality. Nick’s attention to detail is outstanding, both for functionality and aesthetics. For example, he built to precise measurements and built ‘square’, which made the fitting of windows, doors, bathroom furniture, etc., so much easier and more precise. As a result the finished appearance is excellent and there is a coherent insulation envelope. Overall, the quality of the build is outstanding.
