I planned a complete renovation of the core of a house in Red Hill, an old ‘govie’ already subject to an earlier and now very tired renovation. The project involved a new entry, replacing the kitchen and a bathroom, creating a library/study and installing nearly 100 square metres of oak parquet floor.
I had never done anything like this before and went through the selection of a builder very carefully. Drewaire stood out. The quote was reasonable. Andrew impressed as thoughtful and hands on and a person with high standards. A visit to one of his projects showed me the good relationships he had with his team and his care for detail.
Testimonials
From the moment we met Andrew, we knew he was the right builder for our renovation. He understood the building, our vision to maintain character without creating a twee replica and was willing to work with our ideas.
It was clear he was a master craftsman with exacting standards and attention to detail. Throughout the build, Andrew planned around keeping us in the house (even though at times that meant changing his work flow), kept us up-to-date with plans and progress and consulted on decisions to achieve the right outcome for us.
Testimonials
It is a pleasure to have this opportunity to recommend Drewaire Construcitons to anyone who wants a home that is built to a high standard by a builder who believes that near enough is NOT good enough. If it is not right it will be done again.
We live in a house that Andrew Foster built and it is perfect. Andrew’s attention to detail, his understanding of pleasing design and his willingness to talk through ideas, options and solutions to problems, not that there were any signifigant problems with our home, has meant that we have the home we really wanted, one that we never want to leave.
Testimonials
After unsuccessfully trying out a number of other builders our house designer recommended we approach Drewaire Construction to build our dream home. Andrew and his team’s work —including all the trades that worked on the build — was always of very high quality. Their workmanship is top class. Andrew takes pride in everything he does. From Day 1 he was at the block almost every day , not just overseeing the construction, but taking an active part in the build. He is always approachable, happy to discuss any of our concerns and actively looking for solutions and ways of improvement. The same goes with his follow-up work since the completion of the construction.
Testimonials
The decision to contract Andrew Foster to build our house proved to be a good one. There are several reasons, but two spring to mind. Firstly, Andrew takes pride in his work, paying great attention to detail. This was evident during the building process and in the quality of the work that has resulted. It was evident when instances arose where plans on paper didn’t translate perfectly in practice. Andrew thought through possible solutions, and talked these through with us, seeking our input.
Testimonials
We were told if you can get Andrew to do your renovation / extension, you will have a builder who takes ownership and pride in everything he does and will only deliver quality work. How true this is, we have just been handed the keys to our home. It was a very old weather board cottage. With guidance from Andrew and Drewaire’s designer, our house plan was developed. Andrew had great ideas and helped us solve issues when needed. Andrew is so easy to talk to and always made time for us to ask questions. Drewaire’s trades people were friendly, efficient and professional.
