  Tim has recently completed improvements to our apartment. His expertise, versatility and attention to detail are of the highest order and ensured quality outcomes. Tim’s highly developed interpersonal skills ensured that communication was on-going and I remained informed throughout. He is articulate and accessible which promotes confidence and reassurance. It is most evident that Tim takes pride in his workmanship, as do the additional personnel that he utilises. His highly developed problem-solving skills ensure that all challenges are addressed comprehensively and articulated in simple terms. Tim is well-organised throughout and leaves a clean and tidy workplace on the completion of work. I have no hesitation in wholeheartedly recommending Tim as a builder of the highest order.

  I recently had Tim from Alma Carpentry and Construction replace my old timber deck with composite decking, and I couldn’t be happier with the result. The timbers underneath had completely rotted because the previous builder hadn’t left enough ventilation between the subfloor and the deck. I was also tired of the constant maintenance that comes with timber — the sanding, painting, and upkeep were just too much. Tim made everything so easy from the start. He gave me plenty of options in terms of materials, price ranges, and colours. I ended up choosing a much lighter colour, and it’s completely transformed my backyard — it feels so much brighter and more spacious. Tim also recommended adding strip lighting on the stairs, which was a brilliant idea — not only does it help prevent any accidental falls, especially in the evening, but it also looks fantastic when I have guests over. What really impressed me was how tidy and organised he was. He cleaned up at the end of every day and clearly takes pride in his work. It’s rare to find a tradesperson who is so professional and detail-oriented. I highly recommend Tim and Alma Carpentry to anyone looking for quality workmanship and a stress-free experience.

  Having been very impressed with both the high standard of workmanship and work ethic Tim Ray exhibited in some work he did in my own apartment I was confident, as Chairperson of our Owners Corporation, recommending Alma Carpentry & Construction to our Strata Committee for a project that required a skilled builder. Tim had the background and knowledge for this work which involved carrying out an engineer's recommendations. This included scanning and then core drilling an underground basement concrete slab and installing a drain to divert water ingress. Tim had a very good understooding of strata requirements and undertook this with the minimum of disruption to the two owner's garages where the work took place. His knowledge and communication skills were outstanding. The plumbers he organised to carry out the final part of the work were also excellent. Everybody arrived when expected! A number of owners and each strata committee member have expressed total satisfaction with his work and commended Tim's excellent interpersonal skills.

  Our renovation experience was 5 stars!! Tim is honest, very knowledgeable and hands on... and he employs honest tradespeople who turn up on time!. I had a large renovation, bathroom, new doors, walls moved and new walls built, kitchen etc etc. Tim provided comprehensive quotes so I didn't have any surprises. This is my fourth renovation and by far the easiest... and quickest! I wholeheartedly recommend Tim Ray and Alma construction for anybody looking for an honest, reliable and transparent builder.

  Tim was amazing. He very clearly explained the budget from the get go, giving me the chance to make decisions on various elements based on how they were influencing the budget. Tim adapted my ideas and made suggestions that helped it come to life exactly as I wanted it but with a more practicable approach eg amount of space needed between the fridge and the counter. My renovation was a full gut and rebuild in an apartment complex. Tim and the team were sensitive about the impact on my neighbours, knocking the really loud demo over really quickly. I would recommend Tim in a heartbeat. He is knowledgeable, approachable and cares about his work.
