It is with great pleasure I offer this recommendation of Andrew and his sons for their outstanding work delivering our beautiful home.

Our job was a complete rebuild of the terrace - retaining the front façade and reinstating its original features through to new construction of pretty much everything else. Being able to successfully work through the stages involved in these reasonably complex and certainly fiddly works in a tight space while navigating neighbours close at hand and a zealous council hovering in the background is no small achievement. Andrew and his sons made it seems easy! They are outstanding at two essentials for inner city work - managing their work space well and turning on the charm to manage the many stakeholders involved.

Andrew and I formally met weekly to go over the program and discuss details. In addition, Andrew was only ever a phone call away and readily available to discuss the many questions and decisions which arise in a building program. I valued highly his willingness and availability to communicate.

I particularly want to highlight Andrew's wealth of knowledge and experience combined with a genuine interest in wanting to find outstanding solutions for his client. And not just solutions - but sourcing and managing skilled trades who follow through with those ideas and deliver. This combination has resulted in the quality of work I am now able to appreciate every day.

Finally - it's all about the relationship. Andrew and sons combine professionalism and friendliness with a much-valued attribute in what can be a stressful process - a great sense of humour!

I have no hesitation in recommending Andrew and his sons.

When we approached our architects Paul Davies, Alex Goldfinch and Wendy Crane, we had a 1940s double brick architecturally designed home with a provisional heritage listing. Whilst the house aesthetically pleasing externally, inside the rooms were of odd sizes, and there was a lack of fluidity in the layout. The staircases were best described as scary. Our brief to the architect was to transform this well loved home into a larger modern architectural statement, but keep its exterior Spanish facade to comply with the heritage listing. We wanted it to last another 100 years before the next owner felt it needed another renovation. 

Andrew Simpson was recommended by our architects who have worked with him on numerous occasions. It gave me the confidence to know that if an architect has had multiple positive experiences with a builder, the workmanship is bound to be good. From the start, we found Andrew to be responsive and punctual. He understood the brief conveyed by the architects and followed the architectural drawings as prescribed. Where they were areas of contention in the design, he professionally raised it with the architect and engineer. Having been in the business for many years, the experience shows through, knowing which product or technique is best suited for the application. This was particularly important as the house had a lot of old house issues.

As any old house would, the demolition process revealed a few structural gems. Naturally, these were dealt with without too much fuss, after consultation with the architect and engineers. We had regular meetings fortnightly to assess the progress of the build and to raise any issues. Andrew utilises a team of quality subcontractors. Most of whom he uses regularly. They in return praise the quality of his workmanship and eye for detail. He was very good with organising tradesman and was able to provide updates with timelines fairly regularly. When the job was completed, he organised for the site to be cleaned up, and the internal areas cleaned. In the post-construction phase, Andrew promptly rectified any defects noted

Our architects were instrumental in the success of this stunning renovation. They took on board what we disliked in the current house and what we needed in the new project. They were able to come up with a great design that ticked every box for us, satisfied the heritage requirements and passed through the Ku-Ring-Gai council without any objections. Through their vision, we have an amazing kitchen/living area that can be used for many purposes. We have plenty of external and internal entertaining areas. Externally, it still has a strong Spanish influence in the design. They provided strong recommendations when they felt it was best to go the extra mile to achieve stunning results over a half-cooked job. To their credit, they were right, and the recommendations made a difference. 

Overall, we have been very pleased with our architects and builder in our major renovation project. We would be delighted to recommend them to anyone.

Andrew and his team are top-notch builders and I would recommend them to anyone, with no reservations. Andrew and his sons led the build on my Surry Hills terrace renovation, and delivered high-quality work, on time, and with no hassle. They met with me weekly at the site to review the status of the build and continually showed significant progress. All sub-contractors hired by Andrew and the team were also extremely professional, delivering good quality work.

Andrew and his sons were a pleasure to deal with, answering all of my questions and offering recommendations and advice when necessary. despite some expected rain delays through the winter, Andrew pushed for the project to stay on track and finish on the revised schedule. A year later, I am still extremely impressed with the quality of the workmanship and the care they took to complete my renovation exactly to spec. In fact, in the months following the completion, Andrew and his sons gladly came in and helped with any additional small repairs required.

As already said, I would recommend AS&KB with no reservations. Andrew and the team were great to work with! Thanks again Andrew

We bought this house some time ago & as services started to fail the essential need for renovation was clear. Our architects (Nordon Jago) and builder Andrew Simpson have done a superb job.

Andrew & his team were meticulous with great attention to detail & a strong focus on serving us the customer. With latent conditions e.g. rock, there was always going to be a discussion about variations but this was done with great professionalism and on a 'no surprises' basis. At the end of the job, we were delighted with the product and the people. Would I engage Andrew again? In a heartbeat.

Our experience of renovating our terrace was thoroughly positive. Throughout the process, we were able to work closely with Andrew and our architect to resolve issues and make minor adjustments, and this kept the whole project comfortably on the rails. The weather & one or two minor problems created inevitable some minor delays. Even so, with agreed changes & additional items, we finished it to the original spec for less than 5% over our original budget. 

Our house was transformed by the work we did nearly six years ago and we are still thrilled with it. Even having lived in it all this time, there is nothing we would change.

We let Andrew have a totally free run with the design & construction of this project. After purchasing this very original unit we had some ideas of what we wanted as a finished product. We discussed these ideas with Andrew & he improved on our ideas suggesting different finishes which in the end produced a magnificent result that we are now proud to call home.

We highly recommend Andrew & his sons to any prospective client.

I can't recommend Andrew Simpson and AS & KB Constructions highly enough. Andrew oversaw the renovation of my Enmore terrace and ensured that all the work carried out was first class, on time and on budget. He has a great team working for him, everyone knew exactly what they should be doing and when, and high standards were maintained throughout the project. Communication between the architect and the builder was excellent and between them, any of the issues that inevitably arise on a build were dealt with immediately and without fuss." The end result of the hard work has been a lovely and very well built home.
