Miramar Addition

" James and the team did a great job on our house extension. They were reliable, flexible, delivered quickly and went the extra mile to make sure things landed well. They even gave us help and advice for some of the jobs we took on, like painting. I highly recommend them. "

Bolton St Renovation

" We can’t recommend James and his team highly enough! They did an awesome job with our renovations, under some trying (lockdown) conditions. James worked really well with our architect, and has a great group of subbies, who often went beyond the call when things went awry (as they often do). Definitely would recommend J Gibbs for your building project "

Newlands Reclad

" James and the team from J Gibbs Construction did an amazing job on the recladding and remodelling of our home which was built in the early 70’s. James managed the project from start to finish including the sub-contractors. All of the work was carried out to a very high and professional standard. We have absolutely no reservations in recommending James and the team at J Gibbs Construction. "

" We remain pleased and proud of our home improvements, the workmanship was up to the standard I expect and the reason I employed James and his team for the current renovations of my commercial property currently underway in November 2022. Being that we chose to remain in the house while the extensive work was carried out, their attention to cleaning up most of the debris each day was appreciated, and another strong point in choosing them to work for me again.
