Toga Group have had a long working relationship with SJB. Our team has always enjoyed working with SJB who we have found to be excellent designers and innovative in approach as developers/builders. We’ve also found their realistic approach and commercial astuteness in relation to the delivery of projects and cost implications of decisions have been most successful in delivering outcomes.

Mr. Alan Vidor - Managing Director, Toga Group

Where to begin. SJB have done an outstanding job over the past six months in evolving the design and coming up with a scheme that I think is pretty amazing...Not only have they evolved and developed a unique design they have also delivered under an extremely tight timeframe and a great deal of pressure. On top of all that you have also made the journey and process enjoyable and exciting. Thank you for all of your hard work, great thinking and good humor. I look forward to the stages and projects ahead!

Mr. Angus Gordon, Development Manager - Retail & Major Projects, The GPT Group

SJB has been a rare client in that they are committed to a creative and professional dialogue from both sides of the design process. This dialogue, combined with a desire to create something original, has allowed us to produce the best possible solution both creatively and commercially.
