Testimonials

Shortly after we bought our house, we worked with Josh from Form & Dwell to get our bathroom and kitchen renovated. The bathroom came first – we had timed it so that we could move into a brand new bathroom which we’re still enjoying. The kitchen was also stripped completely bare not long after, and Josh had many ideas around how we could make best use of the tight space. On top of the good practice and attention to detail he brought to both projects, he also kept in touch throughout and was transparent around any unexpected extra work that came with renovating our 1920s home.

We had used Form & Dwell before on our bathroom and recently engaged them to do our kitchen and laundry renovation. The result is amazing and we are so thrilled with how it looks and the quality of the workmanship. Josh has very high standards and careful attention to detail. He was also really easy to deal with - communicating regularly so we always knew what was happening with our project. We can't recommend Form & Dwell highly enough.

Sarah Gillies

We engaged Form & Dwell to renovate our bathroom, we really appreciated the effort, attention to detail, friendliness and professionalism everyone showed. Form & Dwell came back to do our kitchen and we'd love to have them back again to do our utility renovation one day in the future.

We engaged Form & Dwell to complete a full renovation of our inner city apartment. We were looking for a builder with an eye for detail and a high level of craftsmanship to bring our plans to life. Fortunately Josh was up for the task and delivered in all aspects of the project. He is a consummate professional, holding himself and his sub-contractors to exacting standards. We are extremely pleased with the work Form & Dwell completed and would not hesitate to recommend him to others.

Form & Dwell transformed our home. Our renovation was a bit of an undertaking but Josh and his team were not fazed. From the beginning of our project through to completion Josh was so professional and did a fantastic job. Attention to detail was evident throughout with great workmanship and a truly amazing job. Would highly recommend Form & Dwell and we will be using them again for the next phase of our reno.
