Read moreReally happy with our experience with Dornford. This is rare with builders these days. Build was quick and professional and we are really happy with the result.As with any build there are issues and concerns but the communication from Jake and Rocky and the team has been brilliant. They have treated us fairly and addressed any concerns we had in a timely fashion. Would definitely recommend to anyone building.

Read moreVery happy with the work carried out by the Dornford Group. Jake and Nico were honest, reliable, and maintained a real “can-do” attitude throughout what was a challenging build. Their professionalism and commitment made the project run smoothly. I’ve already recommended them to others and will continue to do so.

Read moreAfter contacting Dornford in the hope they could help with our existing floorplan as it wasn't quite what we wanted, unfortunately they were not building in the area we already had land but Jake was more than happy to see how they could help. He suggested his team could review the floorplan and hopefully provide some guidance on improving. Amy contacted and was able to move a few things around leaving us with more confidence in the layout and design. We appreciate that although we weren't building with Dornford, they still did their best to help us out when they knew we needed it most. Just from the short experience we had, we could see the attention to detail and quality these guys would do for each home built. Thanks !

They were patient when answering my multitude of questions and spending the time to ensure everything was exactly as I wanted. I would happily work with Dornford again in the future.
