WHAT THE CLIENT SAID
WOW! Just Wow! with another WOW! thrown in.
We could not be more pleased with the outcome of our build, along with the experience we have had with the MATTBUILD team. Whilst working alongside this professional group of carpenters, builders and their subtrades we were able to realise our 8 year dream.
We purchased a pretty rundown 120 year old semi almost a decade ago with the intention of updating it and turning it into an airy, open, clean & fresh light filled space with soaring ceilings, immaculate bathrooms, functional areas and a chef's kitchen. With MATTBUILD on our team we were able to take our design and accomplish this. We spent a number of years rejuvenating the areas we could ourselves then with their help and guidance we were able to finish the project and it turned out exactly how we had imagined it would be.
The end result is everything we ever dreamed of and better! So so so much better! Our experience was effortless, seamless, a pure joy and at times loads of fun. These guys became our new family and have become our new friends. We are looking forward to our next project, and perhaps engaging the team again one day.
