What Do Our Clients Say?
Michael & Marianne D – Warrawee Black House
“Having our house built was a really enjoyable and interesting time. We were living next door to the building site so experienced every step first hand. We were, very quickly, impressed with Peter’s thorough preparation; he knew the plans, he liased positively and thoughtfully with the architects, materials were ordered well in advance and arrived on time, sub-contractors were well briefed and overseen with a friendly attentiveness, and there was, consequently, a very positive, relaxed, industrious atmosphere on the site. And we really didn’t have a moment’s worry. I guess what we most appreciated then, and still do everyday, is the workmanship which went into the house. There was always an attention to detail in the smallest tasks – shown by both the Coastal Builders’ team, and also by all Peter’s different sub-contractors. Thinking back on how all this worked so well, we reckon there were a number of things which under-pinned it: excellent preparation, thorough organization, strong and positive people-skills, pride taken in the work, and, because of all these qualities, a confidence in thoughtfully dealing with any issues which arose. We really can’t fault the whole experience.”

“In 2013 we made a sea change to Somers with plans to build a Tuscan-like home, for two septuagenarians it was a daunting task, we had many ideas but no contacts, thankfully we were introduced to Peter Leyden and his team of contractors, our hopes were totally fulfilled, we now have a much admired house which is practical and comfortable. We’ve since used Coastal Builders to renovate a city property and also have recommended this company to others who are equally as pleased as we.”

“Peter did a small amount of work for me previously and I was impressed with the quality, timing and reliability of Peter and his team. This time we had a big project renovating (transforming) an old house to a contemporary style. We knew most of what we wanted to achieve, but the many discussions with Peter helped us clarify a lot of things and stretched our thinking to ultimately end up with great results. We added in a large amount of additional work after we started the project, but this was not an issue with Peter and the team. He took it all in his stride and always worked from the perspective of making sure we were happy with the result. We gave him a fairly tight timeframe to work to and he mapped out the work perfectly to deliver on time (including much of the additional work). Peter’s co-ordination of the large number of trades involved was outstanding. There was no down time and the efficiency with which they operated was quite amazing to us. The site was always left in good condition at days end and rubbish was cleared regularly throughout the project. The finishing off was terrific and the very small number of outstanding things was tidied up quickly. The overall result was the best quality work we have experienced and we had no surprises throughout. We would say that we very much enjoyed working with Peter and his team as they were all really nice, genuine people who wanted to do a great piece of work for us! We would have no hesitation in working with Coastal again and in recommending them very highly indeed! “
