“Our renovation experience was fantastic, and it's all thanks to James and his team. The workmanship displayed was top-notch, resulting in a beautifully transformed space that exceeded our expectations. One standout quality was the excellent communication throughout the entire project. James kept us informed at every step, making sure we were always in the loop and comfortable with the progress. This level of transparency made the process incredibly smooth and stress-free. James and his team including contractors were always very respectful of my family as we were living in our house whilst it was being renovated. If you're looking for a renovation expert who delivers exceptional workmanship, outstanding communication, and a high level of respect for all involved, James and JRS are the ones to choose. Our home is a testament to their dedication and expertise, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Thank you, James, for making our renovation dreams a reality!”

We are very happy with the quality of the workmanship and appreciated the regular updates about the next steps of the project from James and Rachel. Thank you for making a beautiful space for our family to enjoy for many years to come.”

“Working with JRS was easy, this covers a lot of areas when starting a large renovation with many moving parts. We did a full kitchen remodel that included complete demolition, wall re-constructions, 75sqm of tiling and fully ducted a/c in all living areas and bedrooms which was added during the demo phase. The contract upfront was clear and understandable, no communication problems, professional trades onsite and all variations were discussed, understood and agreed before proceeding. JRS also were accommodating when we wanted a custom stainless steel benchtop, which caused a significant delay on our side that impacted the completion of the project. They worked with me to get through the delay caused by me and pulled it all together at the end to deliver a quality build in all areas.”

“James and his tradesmen were first class throughout our entire build. From the moment we sat down with James we felt comfortable and at ease with his demeanour and attention to detail for the job. It was quite obvious to us why he had so many wonderful reviews, and it was an easy decision to choose JRS for our renovation. James was patient and understanding throughout the entire three month duration of the job, and managed any issue or query that came up with no fuss at all. We were always kept in the loop about what was happening and felt comfortable asking any questions that came up for us. The quality of work and finished product that James and his crew produce is exceptional and we will be looking to get JRS back when we do an additional stage of our renovation. A special mention to Rachel who was fantastic at checking in and keeping us informed of what was due and documents required from us. To top it off, we received a lovely gift from James and Rachel for our newborn that came along shortly after the build. Could not recommend JRS enough. Thanks so much guys. Ryan & Kim”

“JRS was recommended to us by our neighbours, and we never once regretted the decision to go with this company. James, Rachel and their staff were very easy to communicate with and very prompt in getting back to us with any of our queries. The builders always arrived ready to start at 7am. Before they left in the afternoon they made sure the area where they had been working was left very clean. There was never any tradies rubbish left lying around, like you see on so many other building sites. We are incredibly happy with the office, ensuite and storage space that was added onto the back of our house, plus extra jobs we kept adding. They also replaced our ceiling from the kitchen through to the family room, which had been damaged due to heavy rainfall. We would certainly use them again and without a doubt recommend them to anyone wanting a quality job, large or small completed at their house or business premises.”

“We are extremely happy with our renovations, James and his crew did such a great job. All work was done in the timeframe promised and of excellent quality. There were some weather obstacles throughout the build which James was able to work around and still deliver on time. All of the crew were professional at all times and always turned up when they were suppposed to. We really appreciate all that JRS Building has done for us and would highly recommend.”
Lainie & Ben, Gorokan
“James, Rachel and all the tradies did an excellent job of our major renovation. The quality of work and the timeframe they were able to deliver it in was excellent. They faced some obstacles but were able to find solutions that other builders put in the too hard basket. We love our new place.”

“James and his team where amazing! The service provided was professional, timely and exceptional. They were on time everyday. They all completed work in a professional and timely manner. Down to earth very reliable. No task was too hard and questions were answered with optional answers. James and his team worked together to get the project over the line 100% every time. The industry is under the pump with supplies and costs at the moment. We where informed every step of the way what was happening. I highly recommend JRS building solutions for any building needs.”

“From the moment James arrived to complete our quote, he was punctual and courteous. We could already tell that he would be the builder we chose to complete our extension/renovation as his professionalism and attention to detail were a level above every other builder we had come through for quotes. With any decision James was always honest with his experienced opinion advising us of all options. Both James and his apprentice Dylan built our home like they were building their own and held all their subcontractors to the same level of detail. I would highly recommend the JRS team to anyone and already have to both friends and family. We would not hesitate to contact James and his team again for any future building requirements. Thank you JRS you brought our dream home to life.”
Josh & Amanda, Kariong

“We love our newly renovated home by JRS Building Solutions! James renovated our two bedroom house into a 4 bedroom family home and it is perfect! The project was completed within the agreed upon timeframe. James is professional and friendly. The quality of his work is great and he ensures the trades he uses have the same high standards. James was very accommodating when we changed our minds during the build, and was able to help us problem solve when faced with unforeseen changes. We will definitely use JRS again and recommend him to everyone.”

“James and his team did a great job on our ensuite renovation. We are very impressed and happy with the final product. The process was pretty seamless and all the trades were professional, punctual, clean and friendly. What stands out is the ease of communication and when people said they would arrive.....they did...and at the time they said. James was easy to work with directed the project firmly and takes quality control seriously. Thanks.”

“James did an amazing job with our renovations, we couldn’t be happier that we chose him for our work. We would absolutely recommend him for any building works you have in mind. From the very start he was consultative, listened to what we wanted, discussed suggestions with us, and was extremely responsive when we saw changes we wanted made along the way. He did high quality work, and loves what he does which shows in his attention to detail. Both he and his apprentice were very respectful and extremely trustworthy. He was very reasonable with his pricing, and we feel we received excellent value for our money. He engaged good subcontractors, people we were happy to have in our home and people we would use again for any specific trades needs. The space that he has now created for us is a beautiful addition to our home, and we absolutely love it. Part of our joy in this new space is that there is no angst in the process it took to create it, which is due to who James is and how he approaches his work. We can not recommend JRS Building Solutions more highly.”

“JRS Building Solutions are fantastic! They are professional, punctual and perfectionists at what they do. They take great care to ensure all works meet current specifications and will be ensured to last. My huge renovation that required a full gut and re-fit of everything except the roof was a significant undertaking. James was very thorough and articulate during the quoting phase to ensure all needs were met and all options considered. Despite many challenges from inferior alterations made in the 70s from previous owners, he was able to provide within budget remedies to all the challenges we faced while still maintaining a very high standard of construction. His finishes are excellent. He is a very moral person who will do everything he can to ensure his clients’ needs are met, even if this means going above and beyond. He and his staff are very friendly and open, and a pleasure to have in your home. Clean and tidy, respectful and pleasant to communicate with. Thank you for all your hard work James, I am over the moon with my beautiful home.”

“I cannot recommend JRS highly enough. I have dealt with numerous builders over the years, but JRS were the most professional and easy to work with. We did not know James when he quoted for the first project, but he was very clear on costs and expectations from day 1. If there was any change in the price we initially agreed, it was because we had made amendments. And those amendments were discussed, and James advised on what were the best options. We were delighted with the finished result. We had discussed our second larger project for over 5 years and had never felt comfortable with the discussions we had with other builders. But after our first project, we knew we trusted James implicitly with costs and quality of work, so asked him to do. Again, we were delighted with the end result. If you want a builder you can trust, who consults you throughout the process to ensure the project is meeting your expectations and who delivers over expectations on quality of work without any surprise costs, then I am happy to recommend JRS. James is the first builder I have worked with where there was no friction between us and no nasty surprises. When you are talking about your family home, that is priceless.”

“James at JRS Buildings Solutions was professional and helpful from the very outset of our project. He is extremely reliable and honest in his work and genuinely listened to us as we explained our ideal outcome. We will be using him again for a new project soon and we highly recommend his work.”
