I worked with builder Andre Ransom on a renovation job in Enmore in the capacity of the architect. My experience was that of a very capable carpenter builder who showed full understanding for the design and was able to offer creative and viable solutions in terms of detailing and interpretation of drawings to construct the rather complex and inventive project. Andre is an excellent team player, good communicator and offers a highly professional service as a builder and project manager. He is a skilled carpenter with in depth and intuitive knowledge of construction.

I was the architect of the Marrickville project and this was the first time that I was working with Kestrel Building. Andre is a very competent builder with a good team of subcontractors. He is highly organised in the administration part of his job. It is so important for the success of a project that there is good communication between client, builder and architect. Andre is an excellent communicator. Most of all I appreciated his understanding of the design intent, his attention to detail and his great enthusiasm! I'm looking forward to working with him on one of my next projects!

Brilliant! Outstanding Professional! Highly Recommended!!!

Andre did an incredible job building our renovations. A lovely guy to work with, he was always passionate about our design. He was always onsite, running his team, working hard to get the job finished. He was adaptable, professional, focussed and hard working. We moved back in before Xmas (unheard of) and have been enjoying our beautiful new home since. I cannot recommend him highly enough. 5 STARS.

We worked with Andre and the team at Kestrel Building in 2017 to re-build our 1880s Newtown terrace. The project involved restoration of heritage elements and construction of a new architecturally designed double storey addition at the rear. We are ecstatic with the results and would have no hesitation in recommending Andre or providing a reference. Andre’s communication, work ethic and attention to detail was exemplary at all times and our renovation was delivered on time and budget. Four thumbs up

— Andrew

Andre and the team at Kestrel Building turned our small dark 2 bedroom Enmore terrace into a 3 bed, 2 bath light, airy modern home we love. Andre is professional, collaborative, easy going, fair and dedicated. All his trades are also great people, and everyone on the job was hardworking to a high standard.

To anyone looking to renovate in the Inner West, you won't regret giving Andre a call. Thanks Andre and Kestrel for our new home!

— Paul

Andre and his team are great to work with; good communication, time management and problem solving. Professional with a keen eye for detail and a very responsible mindset. 

Lovely people who have created a beautiful home for my family. Thank you

We're really happy with the extension to our home that Andre and his team completed for us. It was a complex build but Andre was able to come up with good solutions for the constraints that came up.

He's got great organisational and communication skills and is supported by a great team of sub-contractors. Andre is very easy to deal with and we're glad we chose to go with him.

We were fortunate enough to have Andre and his wonderful team completely renovate our home in 2019. They were skilled, professional and respectful towards our neighbours, on time and on budget... and the quality of the build is exceptional. The finishes and detailing kept us and our architect happy and the whole process was totally drama free. Would HIGHLY recommend Kestrel.

— Louise

We heard about Andre and his team at Kestrel Building through word-of-mouth, which of course is the best, most reliable way to hear of skilled and honest builders. Our experience with Andre and his team was fantastic, from the quoting stage, demolition phase and right through to handover of keys at the end. He has a great eye for detail and was proactive at coming up with suggestions and solutions to any issues that arose during construction. And we would say that about his whole team, each expert in their field and very solutions minded. Communication was fluid and easy with regular catch-up meetings scheduled each week.

We were impressed with the accuracy of Andre’s quote as he came in bang on time and budget. The quality of work is really outstanding, this is a team which takes pride in their work. We love living in our renovated house in Newtown, it turned out even better than we had imagined. We couldn’t be happier with Andre and his team at Kestrel Building – you’ll be in safe, honest, highly skilled hands with them.
