Bungalow Building Co.

"We are so lucky to have chosen Bungalow Building Co. as our builders and are so happy with the home they built for our young family in the Eastern Suburbs. ⁠

Having had no prior experience with renovating or building, Karl really helped us every step of the way and became a partner to achieving our dream house, a 1910s Californian Bungalow with a rear open plan extension and second level addition. ⁠

Karl was super attentive to our needs and also brought great ideas to our attention. We really liked that he kept us involved and engaged throughout the project getting the result we wanted within a budget that was reasonable. A great experience. ⁠

We spent over a year working in and around Karl and his team. The best words to describe Bungalow Building Co. - attention to quality, professionalism, integrity and trust. The entire team lives these values, from: Jamie the apprentice; to the Sam the foreman and the office team, everyone was so invested in helping us build a great home. Our neighbours even commented on how professional the team was to deal with during the build. ⁠

We highly recommend Bungalow Building Co. and have already recommended them to all our friends in the area who are considering a renovation or new build."⁠

“I employed Karl for two renovation projects, one was a house extension to add a study and the other was to revamp a flat. Both experiences were enjoyable and easy. Karl Lane and his team showed excellent customer service and explained everything. I was impressed how Karl showed respect for our neighbours and took the time to contact them so that they were aware of our renovations and understanding throughout the building process. The renovations were completed within a satisfactory timeframe. Overall, my wife and I were very satisfied with overall appearance of the renovations once complete. I have will 100% continue to refer Bungalow Building Co. to friends and family!”

“Bungalow Building Co. worked on my single storey addition renovation and overall, it was a pretty easy and very relaxed experience. Karl Lane and his team were awesome, polite, punctual, friendly and easy to work with. I was even able to run my business from home while the renovations were happening. The whole building process has happened pretty quick and so far, one of the best features in my new two storey home has to be the vaulted ceilings. Karl is open and honest. He ensures the building process involves minimal stress and fuss. I am so happy with Karl and his team that I have already referred Karl to my father who has employed Karl to start his own home renovations.”

“Karl has done work for us for more than 7 years at both our business and our home. Karl and his workers are polite, friendly, professional, and take pride in the end result. Work is done in a reasonable time, and he is upfront with costs. I will continue to use him in the future (if he is not too busy!).”

“We employed Karl to complete some renovation projects at our home in Kingsford, including installing bi-fold doors, constructing a new large deck, and covered outdoor living area, replacing a large section of our roof, guttering and renovating two bathrooms, installing new windows throughout our house, and converting our garage into a modern granny flat complete with ensuite. Karl and his team did a great job, and he was always available to work through what we were trying to achieve. We were mostly impressed by the respect that he showed to our home and to our entire family throughout the process. We have since recommended Karl to our friends who we understand he continues to do ongoing work for”.

“Karl’s communication was fantastic throughout the process. As we were not on site during the day, we received proactive updates from him, so we were always aware of the progress and of any decisions that needed to be made. His team was such a pleasure to share the space with. Very respectful, positive, upbeat, and more importantly professional and honest. They were respectful of their workplace and always left it in a tidy state each evening…another rarity! As a client with a young family, I never had a concern with who was onsite at any given time as I felt Karl and his team were always accountable for effectively managing that process. They also assumed managing the neighbours expectations and keeping them in the loop to avoid complaints. Not something other builders would even think of let alone assume responsibility of. Our project exudes quality and the process in obtaining the finished product can only be described as a positive and painless one. I have no regrets and nothing I would have done differently.”

“Karl and his team built a studio on top of our existing garage and created a lovely, usable space that has multiple purposes. Karl was very professional and worked to a high standard. The team was always patient and polite to deal with and left the job site clean and tidy. They showed respect for our home and to our neighbours. We were very happy with the end result and love that our new studio is bright, light and airy. Absolutely, without a doubt! I would refer Karl to my friends and family. We were very pleased with how open and honest Karl was and how quickly he would resolve problems when they arose. Karl always confirmed information and would get back to us in a timely manner. There was no comparison between Karl and other builders we have hired in the past.”

“Our kids go to school together and I have also come across Karl’s work on Francis Street. When I was needing to fix an issue with our bathroom it was an easy decision to work with Karl and his team. We fully gutted out and renovated our upstairs main bathroom, main powder room and ensuite bathroom. From start to finish Karl and his team were awesome to deal with - from the boys that did the demolishing, Min the Tiler, and Rob the Plumber. Even when we had the unfortunate event of a burst pipe Karl was there straight away to take care of it. Karl took responsibility when issues arose, which made me feel calm and in good hands. I love the new modern look of the bathrooms and especially the shower screen. I have already referred Karl to my friends and will do so again!”

We cannot recommend Bungalow Building Co. highly enough. Our backyard/patio renovation is simply stunning. From our first meeting, Karl and Marty were calm, knowledgeable, and genuinely excited about our project, we were completely confident that they were the only choice.

From demolition of the existing shed and patio to rebuilding our huge outdoor space, Karl and his team were just brilliant.

We did have a deadline, we had to work around and on top of heaps of other tradies - nothing was a bother.

Karl and Marty sourced the perfect pieces, doors, guttering etc., listening to exactly what we wanted. Their boys were punctual, well mannered, hardworking, efficient and fantastic to have around. They made the whole process fun. We had to juggle lots of moving parts, Karl and Marty answered every text and phone call, were on site at a moment's notice, made calls to move the process forward and they just did everything right.

It was a challenge, yet so rewarding and a whole lot of fun! The finish on our renovation is really, very beautiful, we’re beyond thrilled - it’s perfect!

Thank you so much Bungalow Building Co team, we appreciate all your hard work, and you were an absolute pleasure to work with.

“Thank you so much to the Bungalow Building team. Karl and the team were amazing, they were always reliable, friendly, trustworthy in our home.

They have done a fantastic job on our new outdoor room and under deck storage. We love it. We would highly recommend Bungalow Building Co.”
