"It’s not often you hear someone say building a house was a wonderful, relaxed and satisfying experience, but having John Oliver build our home two years ago was exactly that. Being a contemporary, unusual design, it would not have been an easy job. Although much of the ground floor is rammed earth, the upper storey and lower internal walls are timber and fibro, yet John managed to blend the two perfectly with attention to detail. As well, the architect was in NSW so John had to work through any anomalies – and there were some tricky roof lines – on site. Throughout it all, he consulted with us on every question or choice, was always available to answer endless fussy queries, and was well-organised and clear with regards to progress payments and variations. Many of the tradesmen who worked on the house had long-standing association with John and all were clearly very happy with his organization and attitude. The house went on to win the Master Builders Award for Excellence in Design for the QLD Climate, a testimony not only to the quality of its construction, but also John’s suggested adjustments along the way which enhanced its original design.We’ve since seen several homes John has built, from simple rammed earth cottages to multi-level modern homes. To each he has clearly brought the same enthusiasm, skill and focus as he did ours."
