He is very trustworthy and honest.I like him the way he is treating with the people. He is very flexiable during my house construction. He take whole responsability even to change something. Those people who says he is smooth talker or something.I will say to them, If some body polite to talk and helpfull to others it doesn't mean he is bad guy. I personally has very good experience with Mathew Smith. I luckily choose Goldruby Homes. I Spoke with so many Builders before constructing my house, They say something at the end they do something else. Its hard to find a genuine builder. I hope everyone in this forum understand that when they start constructing their house, i highly recomend go and talk with Mathew for one time. Then they can see their quality houses work and in very competetive price. Thanks Suninder Re: Gold Ruby Homes in Canberra. Any good? 17Sep 18, 2015 4:51 pm I have recently Built my house with Goldruby builders in Coombs. I have made my own plan and engineering drawing to the details and approached many builders in Canberra. Most of them turned away from me saying that it is going to be very expensive and difficult. My block of land had one meter fall side wise and i wanted to build my house on an elevated position . I had initial talk with Mathew smith at gold ruby and he agreed to build according to my plan after half dozen meeting and discussion.They made me involved in each and every step of the building process and I have made lot of changes during the construction without any extra cost. I was very happy with the quality of the materials and the tradies he used. When it was nearing to completion my wife wanted to replace an existing door with wider one and put a skylight in rumpus room. He made those changes with no extra cost. I have recommended Goldruy to couple of my friends and all had good experience. My address is 6 Janine Haines Coombs Re: Gold Ruby Homes in Canberra. Any good? 18Sep 20, 2015 10:33 pm We have known Gold Ruby Homes and Matt for the past 10 years, and built 2 houses with him during this time. Matt is always helpful, cheerful and supportive of his clients and will honour his commitments! we've even tried other builders, but have been burnt badly in the process. Even though we weren't building with GoldRuby Homes at the time, Matt bailed us out of tough situation. We cannot thank him enough for all his help during this time. Gold Ruby homes builds quality homes in Canberra and has grown to be a leading building company in the past decade. Its been a pleasure building with you Matt! Re: Gold Ruby Homes in Canberra. Any good? 19Sep 21, 2015 9:58 am We recently got our first home done by Gold Ruby Homes & trust me , our experience was awesome. Finishing is of very high quality & something that suited our pockets. I would say far from being expensive and of top quality. We had meeting with around 10-12 builders in Canberra but finally settled with Gold Ruby Homes who helped us in completing our first dream home in Australia. Dealing with Mathew Smith - Director Gold Ruby Homes was very easy. He is simple man & very transparent in dealing. Its his nature to help people to fulfill their dreams. He gives suggestion which are latest trend, practical & easy on pockets. The best thing is about Gold ruby homes is that they do not have any display homes. When you meet Mathew Smith, he understands your need and shows you houses which he has actually done for his customers. Building almost 50 houses a year, you need a lot of skills & quality. They have got them all. I reckon, before finalizing your builder, do them a call. They are really good, very genuine & of top standard. If you don't see them before finalizing your builder, you are definitely missing out a lot. I am very happy with the house & smile on my wife & 5 year old in the house give me confidence that I have made very correct decision by going with Gold Ruby Homes & Mathew Smith. If in future, I decide to build a second house, it has to be thru Mathew Smith & Gold Ruby Homes. I hope this will help you in forming your decision. Re: Gold Ruby Homes in Canberra. Any good? 20Sep 22, 2015 11:59 am Gold RUBY - Awesome builders. After approaching several builders in Canberra I could not find a plan that would suit my needs. After doing some online research I approached Matthew Smith of Gold Ruby with my requirements who then showed me around several houses he had under construction at the time. One happened to suit our needs and that was the one we ended up building with a few alterations to the plan. Where other builders have fancy display homes and other office staff (which you end up paying for anyway) Gold Ruby has none of this - there good name speaks for themselves. Only after starting the build I found that a work colleague was building with them there second house and had nothing but praise for Gold Ruby. Having no other builder to compare with makes it difficult but from what I have seen and heard (and now experienced) Gold Ruby is one of the most flexible builders to deal with. You are dealing first hand with Mathew (as opposed to office staff) and is always available to discuss any issues in a professional manner. His tradies were also available during the build process. The quality of the build is excellent and definitely not expensive for the inclusions offered. The biggest plus in going with Gold Ruby was that I was able to access the site without making an appointment. Hey, I own the block and I have every right to be on it. Other builders stop you from entering (mainly due to liability if something happens or this is the excuse they use) but I would rather pick up on a mistake before the end of the building process rather than having it fixed at the end. I have seen and heard this first hand with other builders as they would rather fix something at the end even after you have moved in. Oh and in case somebody is wondering, yes I do have a white card and thus I could enter legally to do cabling work which I was licensed to do on my property. There was an ongoing issue after the warranty period had finished but Matt went above and beyond to get the problem resolved. I would be more than happy to go again with Gold Ruby when the time comes to build again. I recommend them highly. Wow I hadn't realised things had gotten that pricey in just a couple of years since I built, that is crazy with how much land is now costing if you aren't lucky enough to… 3 7017 9 24637 Thank you. Do I use timber floorboards for stairs or do people use timber treads? Or is both the same? 6 7237 |
