What our
customers have to say

Cath

We recently had the pleasure of working with Bray Constructions and the experience exceeded our expectations in every way possible, from the initial consultation to the final touches. The Bray Constructions team quickly became an integral part of our journey - their friendly and approachable demeanor made the entire process enjoyable, and their commitment to understanding our vision was evident throughout the project.

Lewie

Bray Constructions did my house renovation, It's a two storey house and stripped to nothing. My wife and I are quite happy with what's been done. I highly recommend them to people who wants to build an new home or have a big reno.

Christopher

Lukas, Brendon and Team Bray managed our build from concept to construction. The whole experience was exceptionally managed and allowed my wife and I to enjoy the process - all during a pandemic and with a new bubba. Their team were personable, professional and facilitated “the uninitiated” easy access to renovating a home that was deliver on time and budget.

Marlo

Innate Home has collaborated with Bray Constructions on many projects over the course of 15 years. We love being involved in Bray Constructions projects. The team at Bray Constructions are an absolute delight to deal with; always professional & keen to put the clients needs first. Our dealings with Bray co's clients are always positive as the clients are enjoying their project with Bray Constructions.

Gemma

We give Bray construction 10/10 and would absolutely recommend them. The team are efficient, well organised and have a fantastic eye for detail. Even in these trying times they ran to time and to budget and we knew exactly what was going on at every stage. The quality of their work and craftsmanship is nothing short of exceptional. Thank you Lukas and the team for building our dream home and treating it as if it was your own.

Luisa

Bray Constructions built my home in 2009 and I have lived there since. I love my home. Everything works…I still have light globes I haven’t had to change. Nothing has broken down, there aren’t cracks in my walls, the floors are still smooth and even and the house is very sturdy. It just all works, seamlessly. The build was smooth, easy and we enjoyed consistent communication throughout.

Sarah

6 out of 5 star rating from me!! Our beautiful home was delivered on budget and slightly ahead of schedule! The end result has far surpassed my (very high) expectations and we wouldn’t change a thing about our beautiful new home or the way we went about the whole process. Thank you team Bray for making our dream a reality.

Bruce

The Job came out “on time”, “on budget” and the quality of the renovation met our high standards and expectations. We are very happy with the outcome and would certainly highly recommend the Team at Bray Constructions… A Five Star Job from a Five Star Team…

Victor

Lukas Bray and his team provided us with a superior level of service throughout the entire duration of the project. We found Lukas Bray to be professional, pleasant, and genuine in his overall demeanour. Our home was completed on time and to an impeccable standard. We are delighted with the result.

Elizabeth

We really can’t recommend Bray Constructions enough. We have recently completed an extension with Bray Construction. We have a brick Californian Bungalow in McKinnon which we wanted to extend in a sympathetic manner to match the front of the house. Bray provided us with a "one stop" seamless solution and managed the drafting, council permits and build.

Shaun

Lucas and his team did an amazing job transforming our house. It was a big job and they delivered it early and on budget. My father and my mate are both builders and both were impressed with the quality of the finish and the craftsmanship. I would recommend Bray to anyone.

Terry

We are very happy to recommend Lucas, Kenny, Brett, Natalie and the team from Bray. They completed a major renovation and extension to our house and the job went seamlessly. As well as being on time and on budget, the entire team were very professional and their attention to detail was unbelievable.

Sam

I highly recommend the guys from Bray construction. Great to deal with and good communication.

Chris

I engaged Bray Constructions to build a relatively small job, although access was difficult they were very conscientious. Everyone was very informative and any issues they would contact me, discuss it and then work around the problem. They were very competent, very professional and the price was as stated originally.

Margaret

We found the staff to be friendly and very helpful. They sourced out materials and advised us of accessories. They met our timeframe and were very accommodating and the quality of their work was very good.

How much does building a new home or extension cost?

The cost of your building project will depend on several factors, including the size and complexity of the project, chosen materials and finishes, site conditions (e.g. if it’s a sloping block) and current market costs of labour and materials.

While we can only provide a specific quote after a detailed consultation, we offer a free initial consultation to discuss your project and provide a general cost estimate. Once we finalise the plans, we can offer a detailed and more accurate quote.
