The kind of feedback we build for.

Kind words from our clients

Delivering

Highly recommend Brett. He was our project manager, nothing was too much for him, a perfectionist. He was on a tight schedule to get our family into our forever home and he delivered. Years later we, still have no complaints.

A standout home

We used Brett and his extensive experience in difficult projects to complete a total transformation of a very tired property with a lot of issues, into a standout home, complete with a fully legal self-contained 2 bedroom accommodation under the house for extra income. He jumped over so many hoops with council and certifiers to make it all happen seamlessly. The house itself is full of high end finishes and great details mostly designed by Brett. We love the place and feel it has, quality can be felt more than seen.

Meticulous and mindful

Brett did a small but tricky job for us and did so with professionalism, on budget and within the promised timeframe. Brett has an eye for detail, is meticulous in his work and is very mindful of the clients expectations

Truly rewarding

Working with Brett Jeffries and his team at IHS Building and Management Pty Ltd has been an exceptional experience. From day one, his integrity and honesty were clear in every conversation and decision - he kept us informed, kept his promises, and treated our project as if it was his own. Brett harnessed all the elements of the environment, terrain and view - skilfully extracting the very best from each and translated it into the design. The result is an amazing high quality home which exceeds any expectation we had. After meeting his high standard of workmanship and excellence, Brett has surrounded himself with a crack team of loyal tradesmen who have been carefully selected over many years of proving their expertise. He would tell us if one of them were not available for a short time, it was well worth the wait to have them on board with the project. And we can attest to benefit of trusting his judgement. What truly sets him apart is his vision and communication— he doesn’t just build structures, he creates spaces with purpose and care, being always mindful of what we wanted to achieve. Once we imparted the look, feel and details of our ideas, Brett envisaged it and several times during our progress meet ups, he told us he ‘had a clear vision of what it will look like’. While putting our testimonial together this morning, we found him in front of our home once again…he was standing back, aligning how it looked to how he envisaged it. We found this so reassuring and inspiring - and it continually gave us great confidence over the course of the build. The transformation from what we had, to what he and his team produced, is truly miraculous. Several neighbours have told us they cannot believe the difference and how lovely and ‘high end’ our home looks now (and the benefit of it to the street house values). We are so grateful for your outstanding management of our Bayview house project. Your excellent communication, proactive approach to problem-solving, and unwavering commitment to quality have been truly remarkable. We especially appreciate your ability to keep us informed and involved throughout the process. Thank you for making this a truly rewarding experience for us.

Flawless renovation

We used IHS Building to totally renovate an old original apartment in Bayview. Bret’s ethical approach, expertise and professionalism, turned a very difficult revamp into an absolute gem. Planning ahead and juggling all the different trades was most definitely his strong point. We can highly recommend IHS.

Builder with integrity

We were very fortunate to purchase Brett’s family home that he renovated over many years. When we first saw the property, we were taken by the craftsmanship and the design of the renovation. Brett had turned a 1970s original into a modern stylish home like no other with a separate 2-bedroom granny flat. The Granny flat met all the council regulations including fire rating requirements. We were struck by the beautiful timber floors, the four new bathrooms and a powder room, media room, skylights, and a suspended concrete carport. Brett’s flare for lighting design also struck us as something unusual and normally only seen in very high-end homes. We could see this builder can not only design but build quality homes. We have now lived in our new home for two years and enjoy the functionality of the home more as time passes. We would recommend Brett to anyone thinking of a renovation as he is a quality builder with integrity.
