Testimonials

Nick and his team recently helped us renovate our place in Ashfield. Nick was always available, knowledgeable and very professional. He ran a tight ship and I was very impressed with his project management. We only had a short amount of time to get a big job done and Nick had things finished before we expected without compromising on quality. The trades he works with are all reliable and do good work. I recommend Sowden Building Solutions for any job, big or small.

Marisa Martoni

We were looking for sustainable options in our knock-down rebuild to minimise our environmental impact. We also wanted to address social sustainability issues to meet our needs as aging owners and also those of our daughter who has a disability. So we decided on a single-storey concept with environmental features such as hempcrete construction, passive heating and cooling, etc. The next challenge was to find an architect and builder who were on the same page. Few were willing to contemplate the use of hempcrete (or even know what it is). We were lucky to get connected with Nick, who introduced us to Tracy our architect. Together Nick and Tracy created a duplex home that meets our needs and which is a delight to live in. Nick also listened to our budgetary constraints, and provided advice as to where we could compromise or contribute ourselves without sacrificing too many features or any quality. Nick’s attention to detail is outstanding, both for functionality and aesthetics. For example, he built to precise measurements and built ‘square’, which made the fitting of windows, doors, bathroom furniture, etc., so much easier and more precise. As a result the finished appearance is excellent and there is a coherent insulation envelope. Overall, the quality of the build is outstanding.

I contacted Sowden Building Solutions because they were local in my area. I needed a small renovation done on the flooring in my apartment after a flood. Nick was very efficient, knowledgeable and friendly. The work and attention to detail was impressive and of a high standard. Highly recommended!!

Nick at Sowden Building delivers superior quality and offers extra services that most builders do not.

Nick has the unique ability to design and build however that is not the end of it. Nick uses 3D software to communicate with his clients and to create a bill of quantities for your quote. No more looking at 2d plans that you do not understand. Nick has recently won a sustainable building award and is quickly becoming the best builder in the area.

It was great to work with you Nick and look forward to working with you again.
