Check out what our clients say about us.
From the moment we met Jarrod, we knew that we were in good hands. He was thorough and made sure that everything that we needed and wanted was in the contract so no surprise costs along the way. Workmanship was excellent and extension was on budget.

We are very happy we chose Seachange Builders. When you start talking to people about building a new house, you hear many stories about plans not working out. This is not our story though. From the very start, our building experience with Jarrod and his team was a collaborative one. We valued Jarrod’s excellent communication and came to trust that what was supposed to happen, would happen. There was a sense of pride, organisation and control on site. For us, building a new house was much less stressful than anticipated and we have peace of mind around our investment. We would highly recommend Jarrod and Seachange Builders.

"We saw the Seachange Builders sign outside Jarrod's house and were impressed with its appearance and upkeep. This prompted us to ask him to discuss our Office extension project. He was very professional and had excellent ideas when he came to discuss our plan. As the job proceeded, we were very impressed with his realistic planning, timekeeping, workmanship and attention to detail. As problems arose, he involved us and dealt with them cheerfully and professionally.When the job was complete it looks as if the work was part of the original structure, but we know it is much better! We were so impressed with the first project that we have now retained him on two more substantial projects and didn't even ask another builder to quote.We would be happy to provide a reference for Jarrod and his sub-contractors, and even show prospective clients the results of his work alongside ‘before’ photos."

"Jarrod recently completed a major renovation for us on a house in Tewantin, which we plan to retire to in the near future. With few contacts in the area we were somewhat apprehensive about choosing a builder. However, we were lucky enough to find Seachange Builders and upon meeting Jarrod, we were immediately impressed by his enthusiasm and obvious desire to please his clients.As far as we're concerned, we could not have chosen better. What was a very ordinary and not particularly attractive 3 bedroom brick bungalow has now been completely transformed into a stylish, modern 4 bedroomed home. The addition of a deck, garage and extended master bedroom was achieved seamlessly and the external appearance is now of a new house.Jarrod and his team were able to translate our plans and ideas into a practical design, with his suggestions and expertise. From the beginning, we always found him to be very amenable and easy to get along with. As we were absent from the site most of the time, he regularly communicated with us and kept us up to date on progress. We always felt confident that the project was safe in his hands.The focus on quality and attention to detail ensured a high standard of workmanship with an excellent finish on all the construction and fitments. the organisation of the work went very smoothly. It was well managed and coordinated, avoiding unnecessary delays, and was completed in the projected time frame.We are thrilled with the results and the house is now much admired by all who visit. We would not hesitate in recommending Jarrod and his team at Seachange Builders."

"In the past 2 years, our house has had major renovations to the kitchen, bathrooms & laundry. We've had PV panels installed, all decks re-laid with a designer roof over the largest deck. We've also landscaped the backyard.It was proving a frustrating & unsatisfactory experience to find the right builder... until we net Jarrod Dean from Seachange Builders. From the start, he showed excellent organisation with all building materials arriving on cue. His team were always on time & considerate of our needs (we stayed on site). He was always happy to discuss & advise on any possible changes to the plans. Jarrod & his team were unfailingly courteous & cheerful.His focus on quality was apparent in the attention to detail with our decks becoming one of our houses best features. We believe our home is now a major asset with the materials & methods Jarrod used avoiding expensive consequences later on.We are happy to talk to anyone looking to engage Jarrod & let you look over the work he did for us. Thanks Jarrod."

"Jarrod and his team worked with us recently over a 12-week period to build an extension to our house, and completely renovate the centre of our home comprising the kitchen, dining-room and family-room. We were thrilled with their service and the outcome. We particularly liked that:A detailed quote was provided promptly. The scope of the work was clear and reflected what had been discussed. The project was started and completed on the dates agreed. The building team were well-briefed from the outset and had ready access to the project documentation. Attention was always paid to the detail. All the building and other trades-work was undertaken with care and to a very high standard.Jarrod checked in regularly with us. There was excellent communication and consultation throughout the project, and we also felt well-supported by Stacey who made sure we completed all the necessary paperwork when it was required. In all, it was a pleasure to work with Seachange Builders and we very confidently recommend them."

"When we decided to renovate our home, it took nearly 3 years before we started. The main issue was where to find a trustworthy builder to complete the work. After putting this in the too hard basket, we sort quotes from 3 builders.The first turned up and walked around for a while and then left saying he would get back to us. The second called and didn't come to our home. The third was Jarrod from Seachange Builders.Immediately we felt that he was engaged, enthusiastic and trustworthy. After walking around the house listening to our wild ideas, he came up with a much more cost effective, logical solution that resulted in a much better end result.Throughout the process, Jarrod's team were on time, polite, professional and the workmanship outstanding.We are so pleased with our home and would have no hesitation in recommending Seachange Builders to anyone who is looking to renovate or build their home."

"We would highly recommend Jarrod and his team at Seachange Builders. We required a larger more user friendly alfresco and swimming pool addition. Jarrod was engaged and listened to our requests and offered numerous options due to limitations with building regulations. His suggestions were cost effective and added value to our property. His professionalism, attention to detail and craftmanship was excellent. Time management of the job was faultless with minimal disruption to being able to live in the house during the extensions. Jobsite was always left clean and tidy after a day's work. The end result is very pleasing and all our friends are amazed at the transformation and our new resort living and swimming pool."

He is a terrific manager, excellent listening and communication skills, great time management and his sub-contractors work to a very high standard, when you want to build he delivers quality.
