Testimonials

“Much to our surprise our house actually brings gasps of delight to visitors!  Steve, his staff and subcontractors have produced a high quality home to meet our particular tastes.  We were consulted on every aspect of the work and felt connected with the project throughout.  The project came in on time and on budget without stress or concern.  We are happy to recommend Steve Dixon/Ardent Building Developments to prospective clients.”

“I am a Trustee of Hillcrest Chapel Trust and was the concept designer for ‘The Master’s House’, a church-trust owned community facility, built for us by Steve Dixon of Ardent Building Developments. This was a very challenging assignment because Steve effectively had the whole congregation as clients! Steve managed the whole process from transforming concept sketches into working drawings, getting building consent and approval, and delivering the project on time and on budget. The high quality of the completed works has been recognised by the Registered Master Builders’ association with a gold award and by the community with the facility being used every day of the week! I have no hesitation in recommending Ardent Building Developments to prospective clients.”

“Steve and his team of builders and contractors at Ardent Building have done an exceptional job, with a high quality of workmanship. Steve communicated with us the whole way through the build, prompting us when we needed to get colours and flooring to him by a certain date. This took away the stress for us, as we were not being asked for the information last minute. This enabled Steve and his team to stick to the build timeline and our development was completed on time.”

“We employed Ardent Building Developments to undertake extensive renovations to our house over the winter of 2008. We found the quality of the work from start to finish including the planning, project management, timing, construction and the finishing touches all excellent. We would have no hesitation in recommending the company to others.”
