Housespec Builders

Andrew and his team are a very professional, completed our work on time and in A grade quality! Will definitely recommend to anyone.

We are so glad that we chose Housespec to renovate and extend our home. Always professional, with great attention to detail.
Even under difficult circumstances and conditions with covid-related shutdowns and shortages, Housespec kept us informed with the status of the build and really went above and beyond to deliver our dream home. We really appreciated the clear communication and the amazing ability to troubleshoot some very unexpected surprises that came up along the way.
A huge thank you to Richard, Patrick, Andrew and the whole housespec team for making it possible.

Would highly recommend Richard, Andrew, Patrick and the Housespec team to anyone wanting to renovate or build.

Very professional team, who listen to what the client wants and create an amazing finished product. All finishes are consistent, beautiful and in-keeping with the style of the home.

So glad we chose to use Housespec. They made a stressful time easy and delivered an incredible finished product.

A huge thank you to the Housespec team.

We used House Spec to renovate and extend our California Bungalow in the inner north. The service they provided was second to none. They were responsive, helpful, and engaged at every stage of the build. The quality of the work is top notch and we are so impressed with the finished product. The advice given by the team to improve the build was always on point and well costed. I highly recommend the team at House Spec.

We engaged Housespec to renovate our 90 year Brunswick weatherboard with a heritage overlay. We couldn't be happier with the result, our old house has been transformed into a beautiful warm, light filled space. The build quality and attention to detail is excellent. Richard and Patrick were very responsive to any issues or questions along the way and made the process easy for us non builders to navigate, especially through the ups and downs of Covid. I highly recommend Housespec to anyone interested in building or renovating and wanting a professional job done.

Our journey has been a long and tricky one, but Housespec stuck by us the whole time. We had plans drawn up to convert our garage into a semi self contained space. What we didn’t expect was the difficulty we would face trying to get permits and approvals from council etc for the project. Richard and his team helped come up with the solutions that we needed. Once the build started, we were blown away with the quality of the trades - in particular Andy the plumber, Glenn the sparky, and Jarrod the all rounder (plus the painter, carpenter, kitchen builder/installer, tiler and flooring installers). Patrick managed our project, and is one of the nicest, most patient and hard working guys. We could not be more pleased with the result of our build. Thanks Housespec.

We used Housespec Builders for a knockdown rebuild of our old weatherboard house in Oakleigh and could not be happier with our modern Hamptons style dream home. Having never built or renovated before we feel incredibly lucky that we chose Housespec for the project. What a team, Richard, Andrew and Patrick our Project Manager were all wonderful to deal with. We were kept updated throughout the whole build and provided with progress photos. Patrick was amazing and we appreciated his knowledge and advice. We experienced no dramas, the build was so efficient and the quality of Housespec's work is second to none. We would not hesitate to recommend Housespec to anyone who is looking for a efficient and reliable builder.

A friend recommended Housepec to us when, as complete novices, we wanted to build two units in our block of land in Croydon. Housepec was very quick and competitive in their quote to us. But what sold us was Andrew. We met him and knew we could trust this man. And he did not disappoint us. Covid did make things a little difficult towards the end of the build with all its restrictions and delays but it took little away from what Andrew and his team delivered. We are really enjoying our two units now. We were very impressed with Andrew’s prompt responsiveness in every situation. Rain or shine, sickness or health, new born baby or sleepless nights, he was always there; extremely accomodating, helpful and gave very practical and honest advices. Having very little idea what we were doing, we must have driven Andrew up the wall sometimes! But his patience was exemplary. We are so very grateful. Without his guidance, patience and understanding, it would have been a difficult build for us. We had the pleasure to meet Richard and Patrick, the other members of the team as well. We were equally impressed with these two. Hardworking, warm and pleasant, they were absolute professionals. What a team (A Team) they make! It’s not often you meet a team where every member is as excellent as the other. They were also extremely helpful and experienced in dealing with the authorities and took care of everything for us. Our land had a few difficult technical problems and they were able to solve them with Council and Utility Authorities with minimum headache for us. Towards the latter part of the build, we were more in contact with Patrick. What an absolute asset he is; to Housepec we are sure. The man works SO hard, can remember a million and one thing and when he promises you something, he delivers. Well done Housepec A Team! And we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend your services to others. Only “problem” we foresee is the rapid growth of your clientele…. But what a good problem to have, yah? !

Housespec recently built our new home in Ivanhoe. The site had very narrow access, which some builders wouldn't even consider. Housespec was fabulous. They kept the site very clean, were considerate of the neighbours and did great job navigating through all the issues associated with Covid (supply, lockdowns etc). The quality of the build is very good - they clearly take pride in their work. They are always happy to talk through changes and suggestions and I found them to be very reasonable in this regard. I would definitely use them again and would recommend them to anyone considering a new build.

The team at HouseSpec managed and delivered a wonderful house build project for us.
Communication was impeccable, coordination of tradesmen and supplies was very impressive and they moved confidently through the numerous build stages. I transacted some variations along the way, to which they accommodated willingly and masterfully. They complied with evolving OH&S and Covid workplace policies. Site manager (Patrick) is an absolute treasure and worked diligently to ensure we were happy every step of the way.
To this, I offer my personal recommendation to engage Richard, Andrew and the team at HouseSpec Builders for your next building project!

Andrew and Richard were able to assist us through a difficult time in our project and provide advice to enable us to progress to an end point. They were happy to help with advice whenever called upon which assisted us in clearing council matters and other delays when no one else would step up. Both of you have been fantastic to deal with during what we have found to be a challenging project. Seriously cannot thank you both enough.

My company has been dealing with Housespec for many years now. During this time I have found Andrew and the team to be very professional. Our work sees us in touch with their customers after handover, all feedback we receive from Housespec customers is extremely positive. Well done guys, keep up the woodwork.

We found that all House spec staff were professional, kind and courteous we would highly recommended them. A big thank you to Stuart Cabinet maker for our beautiful kitchen and butlers kitchen. Over all every one was wanderful. A big thank you guys. Denise

I engaged Housespec to carry out extensive renovations inside and outside. The trades people engaged were of a very high quality and well managed by the project manager. They took care to be clean and respectful. The quality of the work was very high and price competitive. When difficulties arose they responded quickly and effectively and remedied any defects without question. I could not recommend them any more highly. I would encourage anyone to consider them for their own building works.

Richard and Patrick were amazing to work with for our tiny home renovation in Richmond. Their extensive experience allowed them to give us advice on all parts of the build including small details which really make the house look spectacular. They were able to advise us on what we should be paying for extras like aircon and fireplace install which prevented us from getting ripped off. They did a great job at adapting to Covid and keeping the project moving forward.

Would highly recommend using Housespec service's.

I used Housespec Builders for a 3 unit development and would not hesitate using them again or recommending to friends.
Both Richard and Andrew were very helpful and professional; from willing to visit me in person to discuss the quote in the early stages, to working beyond the scope of works to navigate the many bureaucratic roadblocks that seemed to regularly appear along the way.
Richard was always quick to answer any questions I had and gave me regular progress updates throughout the build.
Overall build quality is excellent, even with a build of this size only a few very minor issues had to be corrected. Definitely worth chatting to them if you are considering a build or renovation.

Housespec is truly a great custom builder who has a true passion for the trade. Housespec has been really flexible and extremely easy to deal with throughout the build process. Everyone on the team are always ready to showcase their work. That is the difference you get from a group of passionate professionals who are proud of their quality work. I'd recommend anyone anytime to go with Housespec and I do look forward to embarking on my next building adventure with Housespec. Thank you Richard, Patrick and Andrew for passionately building our beautiful home!

At last, the building plan was approved! We needed a builder!
As a builder himself in oversea, my husband went round the neighborhood looking for a suitable builder. Andrew Wong of Housespec was head hunted.
Andrew provided best communication both by phone and email. He provided fair price, transparent, always happy to assist.
Through out the construction, there were hickups due to architectural overlooks and engineering amendments, Andrew has willingly at his own expense liaise with ppl involved to resolve the problems promptly.
Andrew is always approachable for advice. He was very patient with us when making variations. Always share his experience.
Thank you again Andrew, Richard, Patrick and the whole team. Appreciated very much.
Very fastidious, professional, great service, I will highly recommend them to my friends.

Thank you, Andrew, for your attentiveness, fairness and professionalism throughout this entire process of building a home. You have been with us every step of the way by understanding our needs - with ensuring all the little details are attended to and supporting us in making the big decisions. Despite unavoidable hiccups, you and your team took up the challenges head on and pulled through with flying colours. Cannot speak more highly of Andrew and his team and we look forward to working with you again if the opportunity presents itself.

We have just subdivided and Housespec Builders built our new double storey townhouse investment property at the rear, 77a Bonnie View Croydon Nth.
I can not thank Richard, Andrew & Patrick enough for their help with guiding us through this complex project, with no major hiccups. They are very helpful, transparent, and happy to assist if they can. Very fastidious, professional and I am more than happy with the quality of work. Gave helpful advice of where to save costs and where it was better to spend the money. I think they gave great service, a quality product at a fair price.

I also thank them for providing their sub-contractor details so we could use them on prepping the front house to go on the market to be sold. They to were very helpful and provide good quality work at a fair price.
I would not hesitate to recommenced them.
