Capital Building Contractors

We are very happy with our decision to go with Capital and would definitely recommend them. Capital was actually recommended to us by a friend who had used Capital for their whole house renovation and extension, which gave us confidence from the start. Our project was also a full renovation and extension of our 1920s Californian bungalow and overall we are very happy with the result. When we approached Capital we already had plans drawn up by an architect and were at tender stage. We dealt with Travis throughout the whole process from tender to the completion of construction and found him to be very approachable and easy to get along with. There were a few issues along the way (largely out of Travis' control) that delayed the project but Travis always kept us in the loop, which we really appreciated. He was also willing to work with certain trades that we had already selected (for joinery and hydronic heating) which again was really appreciated. We have no hesitation in recommending Capital.

I was nervous about doing an upstairs extension and living in the house whilst it was done. I didn't want to lose the character of our federation house , didn't want the extension to look like an extension and didn't want to over capitalise . With Capital building they listened and we are pleased to say our extension looks amazing, like it was always part of the house. We have been living in our upstairs extension for eight weeks now and could not be happier . We started our extension the week of when CV19 started in Melbourne mid march, so much unknown for us and Capital building - the roof was off and we didn't know what the government would do and how the virus was spreading . Travis and the builders onsite were amazing, they powered through the extension (whilst we lived through it and were now working from home and home schooling to add to the complexity) . The team was always so respectful and helpful and Travis couldn't do enough, to ensure you were satisfied with what was happening. In 3.5 months we had a new upstairs extension with high quality products and build . Travis knows what he is doing and will not cut corners to make more money for himself . Overall considering we started an extension we were living through when a pandemic started, we could not have been more pleased with how it all worked out and are now enjoying living upstairs for the stage four Vic lockdown . Also from our research Capital Building were the most competitive in pricing for us and I was prepared for lots of variations, which was actually minimal if not non existent - which was also was my fear based on all the feedback we had got from other people who had done extensions. The lack of variations ( scoping correctly up front) stopped what I could have imagined lots of difficult discussions. Would recommend doing an extension if you are nervous like I was , also it's not that bad to live in the house whilst the extension happens ( much better than I had prepare for) and third capital building (Travis) has high integrity which is hard to find in this industry these days .Thanks Rebecca and DaveEnjoying the good life in our extension

Capital Builders put an upstairs on our house recently and we are extremely happy with the result. The frame went up incredibly quickly, the builders arrived at 7.30 sharp every day, worked hard all day and were clean and tidy and a pleasure to work with. Travis the Project Manager let us know through each stage of the build what to expect and was always willing and available to work through any questions we had. He is very personable and easy to get along with. We lived downstairs throughout the extension and did not have an dramas doing so.I was very nervous doing a build having never done one before.....but the whole experience has been fantastic and I would have no hesitation at all recommending these guys to anyone else... in fact I have passed their details to a few people already.

We highly recommend Capital Building Contractors, without any hesitationWe signed a contract in March 2022 for a 71sqm second story extension which was finished and handed over in November.And it looks fabulous.Not only were Capital the easiest to deal with through the quote stage, but they gave us the best price.Capital honoured the spirit of the fixed price agreement, doing numerous extra things that were not part of the contracted spec but required to deliver our vision.The tradies on site were skilled, polite and worked with consideration that we were living in this construction site.Our take: they are a competitively priced, customer focussed, expert, high quality and dependable house extension builder that is a delight to do business with.Garry and Jennifer McCarten, Doncaster

We are very happy with the final outcome of our second storey extension! A seamless process, from start to finish. Completion was earlier than expected all whilst staying within budget. Travis was excellent to deal with and having a single point of contact made the process a lot easier. Highly recommend engaging the team at Capital Building Contractors for home extension projects.

We recently enlisted Capital Builders to build our extension. We honestly could not have been happier with the process and result. We were living here during the entire build (8 months) and the guys who worked on the job each day were so accommodating to my family and I, we couldn't be more thrilled with the end result. Thank you Capital - we would highly recommend you to anyone who was interested in building/renovating. If we were to renovate again, I wouldn't hesitate in getting Capital to do it.

Capital completed our extension in August 2021, and we are extremely happy with the result and overall experience. Our small semi-detached bungalow has been transformed with a second storey addition (2 bedrooms, bathroom, & retreat) and a remodelling of the existing ground floor to increase living space to accommodate for our growing family.After initially engaging with another build company and feeling a little unsure about proceeding, we began to look at other options and came across Capital Building Contractors. Our initial communication at Capital was with Dean (designer) who was fantastic to deal with, he took our ideas onboard and went above and beyond to come up with a final design that exceeded our expectations. Dean also took the time to meet up with us out of hours to showcase a number of other Capital projects to ensure that we were happy with their quality and craftsmanship.Builders Tom & Travis, as well as Patricia & the office team ensured the build process was smooth sailing. Nothing was too much trouble and communication was excellent from start to finish. We share a common wall and driveway with neighbouring apartments and Capital were also great in communicating with our neighbours to ensure there were no issues throughout the process in what was a very confined work area.Positive customer reviews gave us confidence in proceeding with Capital, and we are now happy to add one ourselves. The job was completed on time and on budget & the results are beyond our expectations. We can highly recommend Capital Building Contactors to anyone considering an extension or renovation.

Starting with design, through to construction and the final product, I am over the moon with the result of my second storey extension. I am so happy I went to the trouble of thoroughly researching this company as it has more than paid off. The quality of of their work, their honesty and integrity, and the job finishing on budget, and well within the contract time was a relief. The builders and staff were amazing with some having gone far and beyond expectations - I would not hesitate in recommending Capital Builders.

Highly recommend Capital Building Contractors.We have just moved back into our newly renovated home (7 months build) and are extremely happy with the results.We commend Travis, Tom, Dean and team for delivering our house to budget and timeframes given the challenges experienced by the building industry with COVID-19 restrictions and supply chain issues. This company is well run, competitively priced, has excellent customer service and MOST IMPORTANTLY care about doing a good quality job. The team are experienced, hard working and have been a pleasure to deal with - from the designer (Dean), builders (Travis, Tom and team) to the support staff (Tiffanie, Janine and team).During the initial consultation/design, Dean worked patently with us in the middle of COVID lockdowns across many iterations of the design, providing valuable guidance on design decisions and budgetary impacts. Dean successfully translated our vision and even visited towards the end providing suggestions when I asked about lighting, furnishing and paint colouring !!During construction we had regular communication with fortnightly on site meetings discussing status, activities over the next few weeks and any issues requiring decisions.Travis, Tom and team are true professionals and focused on doing a quality job correctly. No shortcuts were taken - eg. when old floorboards were ripped up they rectified the flooring support which was not to current standards. Challenges such as fitting the large internal glass door and floating fireplace ledge were resolved with out of the box" thinking and ongoing consultation with us. On completion

Great company to deal with. Capital helped us with design ideas that took our renovation to the next level. We wanted high end and excellent quality. They sure did deliver this for us. Our Californian bungalow in Malvern East went from almost original to a four bedroom 3 living area home. The build was quick and all the staff were wonderful to deal with. Thank you to all.
