After nearly 40 years in the interior design industry and after renovating five different properties, we found that Hurst Constructions is one of the best building companies with which we have had the pleasure of working.

Not only is the owner of the business, Paul Hurst, personally interested in the finished result as we had envisaged it, but it was done within our budget and time constraints.

I would not hesitate in recommending Hurst Constructions.

We used Hurst Construction to remodel our house into open plan living. The whole team was super professional, Rick was the head person on our reno and was a delight to work with! The whole process was extremely smooth with great communication the whole time. Rick also went above and beyond in helping organise a few other jobs that we had wanted to do as well and liaised with them so we wouldn’t have to. The finished product is better than we imagined, very high quality and professional workmanship. Paul and his team take a lot of pride and care in their work and it shows. Would highly recommend them to anyone.

TEA TREE GULLY

We recently used Hurst Constructions to complete a second storey extension on our home, from the minute we contacted Paul, he was first class, his attention to detail and his insistence on a high end quality job was enough to convince us he was the right person for the job, we had also spoken to people who had used Hurst previously for work on their homes and they spoke very highly of him and his team too which was reassuring. The quality of the trades was second to none, Dave, Rick, Brad and Paul all did a fantastic job and were great to have around the place while the work was being carried out, we made numerous variations during the build which were all completed to a high standard and we were informed of costing before any work was carried out. We have recommended Hurst to Friends and a couple of them have already had Paul out and signed up to have work done on their homes. Overall we couldn't be more pleased with Hurst Constructions for the work they carried out at our home,  it's a huge decision who to trust when completing major work on your home, and were glad we made the right one.

We made a wise decision in choosing Hurst Constructions for our recent extension. Paul was extremely reliable and provided us with all the information we needed to commit to building, transforming our home from a three bedroom, one bathroom house into a four bedroom, two bathroom home.

Paul had a professional approach and a fixed price contract which we found very appealing.

We enjoyed Paul controlling the project from council approval, through to lock up and hand over. Everything was considered in the contract including finishings on the inside, except floor covering. Knowing that the painting and rendering was all a part of it helped make our decision. Not to mention the reasonable price.

The council approval was time consuming, but once this was completed, it was all go!

Executing the build in the time frame expected. It took us 12 weeks exactly, to conclude the build, including the flooring & other things we added. The variations that we added, were cost effective and kept it really close to the original fixed price.

Paul's team were always good at communicating. A big thanks needs to go to Bob and Dave too. Bob made the first messy part of taking the roof off and building easy. We were able to live in our house without any issues. The weather was wild for some of it being the start of winter and our only complaint was the noise of the tarp, which was minimal considering. Bob made sure all was maintained safely.

Dave was always available to ask any questions of and kept us updated. He helped with keeping to the budget with all the finishings and providing us modern quality products. He was always working behind the scenes to make sure all ran smoothly and that tradesmen turned up.

Paul deserves a huge thanks too, for everything. Too many things to list. He maintains a professional outfit and always made sure everything was done correctly. He was easy to get along with and readily available. He didn't always agree, but provided his explanations through experience . I'm 100% happy with my new home. My new room and bathroom is very spacious and modern. I was concerned about the extensions appearance, but couldn't ask for a better outcome. It looks fantastic! I highly recommend Hurst Constructions and would have no hesitation on using them again. I can not speak highly enough of Paul and his boys. I appreciate all you've done and will miss all the excitement that comes with renos!

We are very pleased with our new second storey. Having five children, and a blended family it was important to us that we each had our own space and privacy.

Hurst Constructions worked quickly, thoroughly and very efficiently within our short time frame. The tradesman were trustworthy, friendly and hardworking.

It was extremely important to us to keep and preserve the character in the original parts of our home. They were meticulous, understanding and went above and beyond, creating exactly what we had envisioned.

The second storey is very functional with modern amenities and perfect finishes. Lines of communication were always open and we found it very easy to communicate with the project manager and business owner Paul about the renovation progress, new ideas and change of ideas throughout the entire process.

We were referred to Hurst Constructions by a tradesperson in the building industry and then we saw his ad in the Adelaide Hills Magazine. We met Paul and knew it was going to be a good fit – his thorough approach and the discussions we had with him gave us the confidence to go ahead with our renovations. Paul’s timeframe for completion of the renovation was accurate and his employees were great—at no time were we concerned about having them in the house. Paul’s eye for detail and management of trades and time ensured a great finish. We wouldn’t hesitate to engage Hurst Constructions to undertake the next stage of our renovations.

Marcus

Paul’s team have done a great job. The finish is excellent and where other builders would have said ‘near enough is good enough’ Paul has always gone the extra mile to make sure everything is done right, even where it meant re-work at his cost (without us asking). The fixed price contract has been great, there have been no surprises even though we have made small changes along the way. Paul’s relationship with other suppliers meant that we got service that we would not otherwise have got by ourselves. I would definitely recommend and use Hurst Constructions again.

Paul was very determined to get the job of renovating our house. In the end, this determination was such a huge strength because he was determined to give us the best price in every situation, he was determined to get the job done in the timeframe given, and he was determined to maintain absolute quality work in every instance. We enjoyed working with him and appreciated any suggestions he made. Huge thanks to Paul and his team for bringing our challenging plans to life.

Hi Paul I just wanted to let you know, now we’re at the end of our project, that it’s turned out far more beautiful than I could have hoped. Your alterations to our rather boring designs turned the extension from a lean-to into the most stunning feature of the house. Your tweaks and suggestions along the way have added to the quality without blowing the budget (I think we came in at 1% over on the original contract price). And I hate to admit it, but where we differed in opinion you were right. I have particularly appreciated the way in which you managed your workers – they were always courteous, thoughtful, efficient, and very tolerant (and careful) of an inquisitive three-year-old. They did not take shortcuts and as a result we have a very high-quality renovation. I’m happy to unreservedly recommend you to any prospective customers, if you wish.

Thank you to the team at Hurst Constructions for the outstanding work done on our recent extension and renovation.

Being new to Adelaide and the Blackwood area, we were not really sure where to start when it came to selecting a building company to extend our family home. Luckily we came across the team at Hurst Constructions early on in the process.

From the first meeting, where you took the time to get to know us and our requirements, we have been extremely happy with your work, friendship and support. We have also been lucky that your entire team has made fantastic contributions to the project.

We would not hesitate to work with Hurst in the future and will call on you when it is time to renovate the next stage of our home.

MELROSE PARK

In 2014 we undertook a major renovation of our property with Hurst Constructions. From our very first contact with Paul he was personable, reasonable and flexible. In fact, it was his communication skills that prompted us to choose him above other builders we were considering at the time.

As the build progressed, we were impressed with his work ethic, standards and the relationships he shared with other trades he employed or contracted for the build.

Additionally, his relationship with us remained positive and constructive, even when difficult decisions had to be made by us in relation to what we wanted and what we could afford.

Paul was always upfront with us, and respectful, to ensure we achieved the renovation we wanted and within budget. The project was also delivered within a reasonable time frame.

We would not hesitate in recommending Paul and Hurst Constructions, and in fact continue to do so amongst our friends and family who are looking to engage a builder.

When we first contacted Hurst Constructions we had nothing but an idea to build a second story in mind. Paul came over to discuss the idea and we immediately appreciated his down to earth and honest approach. We knew our project would be in good hands. He arranged initial drawings and we worked together to refine a plan to suit the needs of our growing family. His team then took the plans to council and managed the development approval process. This led to minimal stress for us and we were impressed with the communication every step of the way. Only a couple of months later, Dave (site supervisor) and his crew had started construction. Dave was always contactable and ensured the site was safe with minimal impact on the surrounding neighbours (they even commented how lovely the team were and hard they all worked!). We were impressed at the speed and quality of the build and it was very exciting to see our vision become a reality. Thanks for making it happen!

Dave and Paul were excellent to work with on our renovation project. The end product is exactly what we were hoping for and we can’t thank them enough. As with all large renovations, there were a few issues along the way, but Dave and Paul managed them for us with great problem solving skills. Dave and Paul also managed to finish our project within our budget, which we very much appreciate. We highly recommend using Hurst Constructions for your next job.

Paul did a magnificent job repairing and then restoring our very old cellar into a well-crafted and beautifully functional area to remind us of its former old charm. His ideas culminated in an understated yet engaging use of local timbers and eclectic materials to re-affirm the heritage of this hills cottage. He seemed to enjoy the process as much as we did making the job that much more fun.

It took me many years to bite the bullet and finally do our renovation. This is because, I was so concerned about choosing the right builder. I have absolutely no regrets in choosing Hurst Construction. When Paul first came to the house and starting discussing my ideas and guiding what was possible given our budget, I knew we were in safe hands. There was no pressure or hard sell which I really appreciated. Once the renovation did start, I was blown away by how reliable the team were and how incredibly hard they worked. Even on the hottest days. Also, as someone with no building knowledge I was relieved to see Paul's regular visits on sight to ensure a high standard was being maintained. Also, a relief was the constant communication regarding what options were available to us and at what cost. For example, the skylights. There were NO SURPRISES!! We are over the moon with the end result and will definitely be using Hurst Constructions when renovating the outside of our house. I can highly recommend Hurst Constructions.

There is no better way to express my complete satisfaction with the work done by Hurst Constructions on the second storey renovations on our home. From the preliminary consultation to the final walk-through, the Hurst Constructions team was professional, knowledgeable, and efficient throughout the entire process. We were extremely pleased with the quality of their work, and the end results exceeded our expectations. As part of this project, Hurst Constructions were able to take our vision and turn it into a reality by adding a second storey to our house, giving us three additional bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a study area for our children. Their team was highly professional and reliable. The entire process was handled quickly and seamlessly. It was evident throughout the entire renovation process that the quality of work was exceptional, and that the attention to detail was evident throughout the whole renovation process. The team was respectful of our home and kept the work area clean and tidy throughout the entire project. The results were exactly what we had hoped for and more. We are extremely pleased with the outcome and would happily recommend the team to anyone looking for a renovation job. As part of the project, we had regular updates and progress reports provided to us so that we could keep informed about the progress. If we had any questions or concerns, they were addressed promptly and professionally, and there was a team that was always available to discuss any question we had. This level of transparency and communication was essential in allowing us to trust the project was being managed correctly. It also enabled us to feel included in the process and empowered to make changes if needed. We ultimately achieved success thanks to this level of openness. As a whole, we are extremely pleased with the final result and would highly recommend Hurst Builders to anyone looking for a reliable and professional contractor for their home renovation needs. Thanks to the entire team at Hurst Builders for making our dream home come true. We are very appreciative of the quality of work, attention to detail, and timely completion that was provided. Thank you again Hurst Constructions!

“To you Paul, and all Hurst company employees, we have been more than thrilled with all the work you have done in the renovations of our now beautiful home. The attention to detail, your communication, including the utmost respect and courtesy shown to us, throughout the process. Our circumstances were a bit different and this made things challenging at times, and I appreciate that more than ever.We understand the difficulties that sourcing building materials, windows (omg) then throw covid in the mix. We have often said how lucky we are to have you as our builders, and we would recommend your company to anyone looking for a team of fantastic builders, electricians, tilers, painter and cabinetmakers. (Sorry if I’ve missed any trades). We are back in our beautiful home you have made and looking forward to many happy days with family and friends..”

“We recently undertook a second-storey extension using Hurst Constructions and it wasn’t a decision we made lightly. But from the moment we signed the paperwork to commence the job, to the official handover, we knew we had made the right decision. Paul, Dave and the entire team including trades were all fabulous to work with and they were always professional and friendly. We lived in the house whilst the extension was taking place and as builders, they were so considerate and worked around our needs to make sure disruption to our lives was minimal. They just became a part of the family. As for the finished product, it is everything we wished for and more, and has created a space we never thought possible. All of our friends and family that have been through the house have nothing but good to say about the workmanship of the finished build. They are a fabulous company and can’t recommend them enough.”
