We bought a run-down 1970s house in Hillcrest in 2012.
We bought a property that hadn’t been touched for 22 years and we felt had huge potential. We had a clear view of what we wanted, but our biggest challenge was finding a builder that could turn that dream into reality.
Your dream was to rebuild the whole front and interior of our house, including major service areas, such as the entrance, laundry, kitchen, lounge and dining area.
There were some major considerations to take into account. For starters, we had an 18 month old son, and we were going to live in the house during this renovation.
After meeting with several builders that had been recommended, we chose Chris Hope from Hope Construction Ltd. The reason we chose Chris was because he was the most logical, sensible and trust worthy. In addition, we felt his pricing was by far the most reasonable for the job.
We had Chris and his team on site for nearly two months. During this time, they made us feel very comfortable and were extremely conscious of our young family; making sure our house was secure at all times.
Chris’ communication skills were great and the contractors that he used were of an extremely high quality. To be honest, during the entire building process it felt like we were family. The builders loved our little boy and were super cautious of him and the amount of respect that they showed us as clients was fully appreciated.
Our build was completed on budget and ahead of time.
Chris’ attention to final detail, expertise, as well as his continued management to obtain final consent sign off has been exceptional. We would highly recommend Chris Hope and the team at Hope Construction Ltd.

Naylor Love Construction recently completed the St. Johns Hospital project together with Hope Construction, one of thirty-five sub-contractors who helped finish the project in January 2016.
The site posed many challenges, such as a single access in and out of the property, which had to be kept open 24 hours of the day for ambulance access, whilst also keeping the hospital operational. Furthermore, the site is surrounded by residential properties all of which had a keen interest in the construction process.
The new hospital wing comprises of twenty new bedrooms with an ensuite, shared over 2 floors. The new wing also had a lounge come dining room on each level for residents to relax in and have meals.
As part of the new hospital wing building, there was a new entrance and car park formed with extensive landscaped area and pathways around the buildings.
On completing the project, Naylor Love Construction undertook the task of evaluating the performance of the sub-contractors on this project. Zero sub-contractors achieved the best possible rating of "Top Rated Contractor.”
We would like to congratulate and thank you for your effort and contribution towards making this a successful Naylor Love project. We would be more than happy to recommend your company to future clients.
