We are proud to say most of our work is by word of mouth. We have a wide range of skills that allow us to build with creativity and precision from New Builds to Commercial work and the not-so-ordinary jobs like bespoke food trucks, shop fit-outs, and trailers.

I recently had the pleasure of working with RJ Strachan Builders Ltd for the full renovation and modernization of my 1950s house, and I could not be more impressed with their service. From start to finish, the team displayed an excellent work ethic and a level of professionalism that truly stood out. Their commitment to high work standards was evident throughout the entire project, and the work rate was impressive—nothing was ever too much trouble.

One of the highlights of working with RJ Strachan Builders was their collaboration with subcontractors. The subs were easy to communicate with, open to suggestions, and proactively offered ideas that saved both time and money without compromising quality. For example, while the concrete team was renewing the front entranceway paths, RJ Strachan Builders suggested relaying the old, misaligned rear paths, which was a great cost-effective solution.

Additionally, RJ Strachan Builders proved flexibility and a can-do attitude. They were more than willing to take on extra tasks, such as improving the front fence, without hesitation. They also made a point to keep me informed, taking the time to explain the work in progress and why certain decisions were being made. I really appreciated their diplomatic approach when explaining why some of my ideas midway through the build might not be the best choice going forward.

In terms of timeline and budget, RJ Strachan Builders delivered on both without any drama. The project was completed on time, and there were no surprise costs. In today’s world, it is rare to find a hardworking, dependable, and resolute team like this one.RJ Strachan Builders is truly a gem, and I am so glad I chose them for my renovation. Highly recommended!

We were lucky to have Ray and the team from RJ Strachan Builders undertake our extensive renovation and rebuild project.

We found Ray to be incredibly hardworking, professional and very knowledgeable. We were impressed with the level of skill and high standard of workmanship, the ongoing communication throughout the project, as well as the commitment to keep to our deadlines.

While there were complexities with certain elements of the build, Ray’s eye for detail and experience meant that he was able to provide solutions and finishing touches that we were very happy with.

We are so pleased with the end result and would recommend RJ Strachan Builders to anyone who is contemplating a renovation or new build.

We recently had remedial work completed to two of our properties and couldn’t be happier with the results. Ray, Laura and their team were highly professional, demonstrating excellent communication throughout the project. They were proactive problem solvers, addressing any challenges efficiently and with great workmanship. Their attention to details and commitment to quality workmanship were evident in every aspect of the job. We highly recommend them for any remedial/renovation work.

As clients with a busy hospitality business, we had a lot of bespoke requirements and last-minute jobs when it came to fitting out our restaurant space! RJ Strachan Builders worked alongside us to determine the best solutions for our fit out, incorporating second-hand materials we had sourced ourselves, procuring and installing the perfect material for the screens behind our bar, and building steel-leg high tops from scratch. We continue to work with RJ Strachan Builders on various projects in both our business and home, and highly recommend them for their dedication to quality and impressive ability to problem solve.
