What Our Clients Are Saying

“Have recommended them to friends and neighbours”

We found Smartway excellent to deal with. Throughout the entire process from the initial discussion right through to the code compliance their communication was excellent, prompt, to the point, answering all our questions in a timely manner and working with us through the build.

We had to rework our project a number of times to meet our budget and Ann and Howard worked with us to get what we wanted within the budget we had. We kept a close eye on our budget with Ann and Howard both excellent in clarifying any questions we had and their invoicing is clear as to what it covers and how much of the project costs remain.

The quality of the work was excellent with Jade and his team completing the work to a very high standard and within expected timeframes.

The fact that we started our project as the building material supply shortage was just beginning but they had the required materials available for our project speaks to their planning and experience in navigating the difficulties in building in the current market.

I would highly recommend them as a building company to work with on your project and in fact we have recommended them to friends and neighbours who have asked us about our renovations.
