Smart design, quality build and the experience of others is what initially attracted us to the Thorne group. Being a local family business with a great reputation also gave us confidence that we chose the right company for our project. We are absolutely delighted with our new home and the design and build process could not have been smoother. Our home was designed by Thorne Architecture. Jon understood what we were hoping to achieve right away and produced a design that is perfect for us – smart, compact, stylish and practical. Dan, was the ideal project manager – looking after our home like it was his own. Communication was consistent and clear throughout and the whole build process was transparent in every way. We always knew what was happening and we had the added bonus of being able to track progress via Buildertrend – an online tool that enabled us to track the build from start to finish. Everything ran like clockwork with our home being handed over right on schedule and in budget.

Quality of the workmanship was just that – Quality, and the attention to detail with the contracting, invoicing and any variations, meant there were no surprises – except our surprise at how easy and enjoyable the whole process has been. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Thorne Group to anyone who is wanting to build a new home – we are so very pleased we did.

What makes Thorne Group stands out is the team who is highly organized, efficient and understand the importance of customer service. It is rare to find such quality in the construction business today and we wanted to go with an experienced family business that values the clients' needs. The process from design to final touches was smooth and pleasant, having our project manager Dan as the main point of contact was brilliant. He's very responsive, accommodating and worked with us through the inevitable hiccups along the way. When we had ideas and questions, he listened and always did his best to make things happen. In 2017 when we decided to move and build again, there wasn't a doubt that we would go with Thorne Group. Today we enjoy growing our twin boys in a home where we invested so much love and have cherished from day one thanks to the positive experience Thorne Group has provided us.

After being firmly ensconced in our home for 4 months we feel qualified to put our feeling about our home & the associated process on paper. I thought l knew a bit about building, but now l realise l knew very little, & l will prefer to keep it that way for the rest of my days. The expertise that your team, at all levels brought to the project was second to none, especially Craig, he is an exceptionally talented craftsman, with an immense amount of patience and pride supported by a ‘can do’ attitude. There were never problems, only solutions, a rarity in this modern world. I have had the good fortune to rub shoulders with all the Directors of the company throughout this project, and you have a wonderful team which is internally a great blend of characters and associated skills; this obviously rubs off on the rest of the team, guaranteeing wonderful results for your client.

Thank you for building us a beautiful home, and we promise to do it again in the not too distant future.

Building our home with the Thorne Group has been an enjoyable and exciting experience. Beginning the day we talked sections and house plans with Bob & Wendy, through the building supervision with Aaron and completion on the very date quoted in the building schedule.

Last year I moved into my lovely new home built for me by "The Thorne Group." I must admit that I did wonder what on earth I was doing building a home on my own and how the stress of doing so would get to me. It is with much pleasure that I can say that it was a totally stress-free project and I actually enjoyed it. Aaron Thorne "The Project Manager "was the most efficient, helpful, caring, and happy person that I have ever worked with. Nothing was to much trouble and anything that was not right was immediately attended to by Aaron. He went out of his way to make things easy for me. The builders were also great to work with, as were all the subcontractors. The result to me was a wonderful well built home and I would not hesitate to recommend the Thorne Group to anyone wanting to build a new home. If anyone should want to visit my home, I would be more than happy to show them my great house.

Thank-you to all involved, I might even do it again!!!

As a retired couple and first-time builders, we were amazed at how simple the whole process was. Thorne Group staff guided us as we choose colour schemes, designed the kitchen, attended joinery, electrical walkthrough & landscaping. During the build, the attention to detail was impressive and more than meet our expectations. The result is an elegant and extremely comfortable home that we helped to create.

How would we describe our build with Thorne Group? Exciting and enjoyable. The completion of our home was completed ahead of schedule! At each step, the commencement ran so smoothly from our unique drawings by Jon, the contract with Peter, to project management by Aaron. We were given a project calendar at the start of the process to ensure what was on the drawings became our reality. This was facilitated by great advice, helpful suggestions, online updates, and regular site meetings. The standout feature of a Thorne Group build is the professional high standards resulting in a personalised quality build. Our build with Thorne Group could be summed as, ‘No pressure, low stress, high quality, and great fun!’

Would we build with Thorne Group again, absolutely!

We spent so much time researching builders - about 5 months. We then heard about Thorne Group and went and checked out one of their new builds - we were so impressed. My husband said there was no way, being first home buyers, that we could go with Thorne Group. In the end, we decided to just go and have a talk to them to see what they could offer us. And it turns out it was the perfect fit.

We looked at other builders but wanted something that was specific to our site. When we went to Thorne Group they did a sketch very early on and it really worked for our site. What really appealed to Thorne Group was their standard specifications. We were really concerned that with other building companies a whole bunch of things we would like to have in our house would be upgrades (and cost more). It was good to know that what was included as standard for Thorne Group was nearly everything we were looking for.
