Custom Outdoor Living

Construction And Design Of Garage . The team at Custom Outdoor living were professional and efficient from organising building permits and detailed designs. Construction and workmanship was of the highest quality and performed on time. Good communication and always punctual with tradesman and project manager. I would definitely hire Custom Outdoor Living again and recommend them to friends or family.

I had a great experience building my outdoor living area with Custom Outdoor Living. From the start Matt listened to our needs and produced exactly what we wanted. Project manager Glen ensured everything during construction ran smoothly and was very accommodating to any requests put to him. Definitely recommend!

Matt Goodie, Glen Mahoney and the team at Custom Outdoor Living have provided a high-end bespoke outdoor renovation to suit our specification. After going back and forth for quite a while on the final quote and specification, we started the project earlier this year with demolition of the existing backyard decking, spa, concrete posts. Then levelling works were conducted. During this period we found that we had an issue with the rear retaining wall, and also an issue with the stumping and waterproofing of the side of the house - Matt was able to adapt and improvise the plan to account for the new levelling arrangement to counteract the issues we had, and the project was able to continue thereafter. What we have now is a new backyard alfresco with built in seating, outdoor kitchen, pool with built in spa, and a practical area for the kids to play as well. We didn't think it would all come together as it has done so, and we are very happy with the outcome. The workmanship and attentiveness to detail, as well as the responsiveness of Glen as the project manager are highly commended. The team was reliable and communication was effective and efficient. As with any renovation of an existing building, there are unexpected findings, some glitches, and of course these were managed with promptness and professionalism. We have, unapologetically, set very high expectations and the team at Custom Outdoor Living has delivered on those expectations. Thanks again Matt and team, we would highly recommend your services.

Matt and his team have been brilliant for us. From the design through to execution I have nothing but good things to say. Flexibility to change things based on changing requirements or clearer requirements was met with a smile and without a huge variation bill! Our expectations have been met. The project has run largely to time and definitely to budget. Communication was excellent. We knew what was happening and when the next thing would occur. Good luck with your projects!

Working with Matt and the team has been an outstanding experience from start to finish. Their communication was clear, consistent, and genuinely collaborative, which made the entire process feel smooth and stress‑free. Every member of the team demonstrated professionalism and pride in their work, and it showed in the final result. The quality of craftsmanship exceeded expectations — attention to detail, thoughtful design suggestions, and a commitment to doing things properly rather than taking shortcuts. They stayed on schedule, were transparent about costs, and handled any unexpected challenges with confidence and competence. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a builder they can trust. The finished product is exceptional, and the experience getting there was just as impressive.

From the first visit by Matt Goodie to share ideas and options for the full garage build to replace an eyesore carport, right to the completion of the project, I was consistently impressed by the professionalism, speed & responsiveness, the competence of - and regular communication from Glen, the Construction Manager, friendly engaging team of tradies, and the quality of workmanship. It has altered my view that building projects are inherently risky and drag on forever. My new paradigm is: simply choose the right team and you will come out on top. This project has left me happy, impressed and quite sure that if I ever had another project in mind, I would simply go with Custom Outdoor Living. Thank you Matt, Glen, Demi, and the rest of the team. I am a very happy camper and take my hat off to all of you. Greg Holmes
