TESTIMONIALS

“My wife and I needed our small front timber deck replaced in early 2024…”

It was a simple job (i.e. remove and replace) and we contacted several companies which specialised in decks, but only Phil replied. He did so quickly, was able to come to the site promptly and then give us a quote. Despite its small size, Phil was happy to consider taking it on, and we agreed on the price quickly and set a date for work to begin. Phil and his team arrived the day after (due to weather delays), and were able to finish the job in a few days, with the team working extremely hard in very uncomfortable weather conditions. The quality of the materials (e.g. the timber selected) was first class, as was the build itself and the finish. At all stages it was a pleasure to deal with Phil (and with Renee at the office), and to know that he was keen to ensure that the job was done properly and the customer was satisfied.
Many thanks to Phil and the team.

“We recently added an extension to our house, which had been originally built by Phil.””

We were certain we would be in good hands and P&R Lee lived up to our high expectations, and delivered a fantastic result. From the outset, Phil demonstrated a thorough understanding of our vision and goals. He not only listened carefully to my ideas but also offered insightful suggestions that enhanced the overall design and functionality of the new space we were creating.  Throughout the project, Phil remained available and kept us informed every step of the way.  His passion for his work was evident in every part of the project, and the same enthusiasm could be felt right across his team. From the apprentices to the contractors, everybody on the job was very professional, polite and friendly. Access to the site was tricky at times but nothing was ever too much for Phil, who approached everything with calmness and certainty. He made the whole process seamless and stress-free for us. It was a pleasure to work with Phil, and I would highly recommend P & R Lee to anyone seeking a builder who combines expertise and a keen eye for design.

“… In Phil I recognized not just a skilled builder but someone who as a genuine appreciation for design…”

I decided to engage Phil Lee as the Builder for our architect designed, off form concrete house prior to receiving any quote from Phil for several reasons. On our first meeting, Phil came across as confident and prepared to suggest alterations to our plans where a particular aspect was not working from a coast, practicality or design perspective. Secondly, in Phil I recognized not just a skilled builder but someone who as a genuine appreciation for design – a useful trait as we decided to proceed to the build stage without the assistance of our architect. Thirdly, Phil’s attitude to the process was that it’s not meant to be hard work, but an enjoyable, creative collaboration. And generally it was. Phil’s quote was within our budget and we commenced our build. Te build was certainly not standard nor without it’s challenges however, Phil and his team faced the unexpected difficulties with a positive attitude and thoughtful resolution. All of their tradespeople were well mannered and presented, demonstrable skill in their craft and nothing was too much trouble. I would recommend P & R Lee Builders to any prospective client.

“Communication with Phil and his staff was always very open, and no extra last minute request was ever any trouble”

I was first introduced to P & R Lee Builders through my work. I am an interior designer for architectural firm that designed a number of luxury houses for whom P & R Lee Builders were the selected builders. Through my dealings with Phil in relation to these houses it was a very easy choice for me to ask him to work on my own home extensions. Communication with Phil and his staff was always very open, and no extra last minute request was ever any trouble. Phil was great in providing alternative solutions to any construction challenges. We were well informed of progress of the project at all times. All the building stages were delivered promptly on schedule. The quality of workmanship was always of high standard. My husband and I are very happy with the result of P & R Lee Builders work and have no hesitation to recommend them to anyone seeking a builder for their new built home or house extension work.

“Every tradesman who worked on the job, from Phil down to the apprentice was very professional, polite and friendly”

P and R Lee Builders recently completed a second level extension to our brick home in the form of two new bedrooms and a bathroom. The entire job took ten weeks, as per our contract. We were very happy with the finished result. Every tradesman who worked on the job, from Phil down to the apprentice was very professional, polite and friendly. The building site was always kept clean and tidy. We had no problems throughout the entire job and the final price came in on target from the quote. The finish on the building work was to a very high standard. Phil managed the job very calmly and efficiently, constantly communicating with us as to the status of the work. Overall we were completely happy with Phil and his team and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone. We would certainly use him again in the future for any building work we might undertake.

“Phil takes enormous pride in the quality and finish of his projects ensuring that his work is of the highest standard”

Over the past three years, I have worked with Philip from P & R Lee Builders. In this time, Phil has produced over 7 and a half million dollars worth of up market residential construction over multiple sites in both the townhouse and small dwelling market. From the negotiated tender and installation through to completion and handover. I have found Phil to act with the utmost professionalism and integrity. His input at the start of a project carries enormous value and transfers into real savings on the overall project.l During construction Phil takes an adaptable approach to market forces while keeping within the original scope of works. Phil takes a realistic and concise approach to program and budget constraints and has consistently delivered on time and on budget constraints with virtually no variations. The standard of P & R Lee Builders works speaks for itself, with all dwellings he has constructed for me setting new benchmarks for sales in the market. Phil takes enormous pride in the quality and finish of his projects ensuring that his work is of the highest standard. I have no hesitation in recommending him for any construction project big or small as P & R Lee Builders will be the people I contact when I next build a townhouse or small lot project.

“… I was impressed with the quality of work, the efficient coordination of his teams and their safety standards, care of my property and regard for neighbours.”

I recently engaged P and R Lee Builders for major repairs and extension to my “character” home in Auchenflower. I had noted the quality and efficiency of their work on nearby homes. Having an engineering background, I prepared plans for my requirements and discussed them with Phil Lee. I found that he clearly understood my ideas and the architectural style of the project. He provided some helpful ideas and we were able to discuss a lot of practical ideas. His project specification was exactly as requested and his quotation was comfortably below other quotes which were based on less definite specifications and more than i required. Phil prepared a standard contract and work commenced at the promised time. As the job progressed I was impressed with the quality of work, the efficient coordination of his teams and their safety standards, care of my property and regard for neighbours. At any time I was able to discuss details with Phil and his tradesmen and several matters I had overlooked were incorporated into the project with no fuss at all. The final result is very pleasing, the whole process was remarkably stress-free and I felt I got very good value for the money.
