Testimonials

James Clarke of JMC BUILD has requested a reference from myself for his business operations. I have no hesitation to provide this for him.
JMC BUILD is currently undertaking a project for me on my own private dwelling which entails a partial rebuild including alterations and recladding. The project is estimated to take 7 months and the contracted price is around $700.000 [Seven hundred thousand dollars].
As a project manager for a medium sized building company myself for many decades I elected to give this particular project to James as the complexities of the construction programme needed the expertise of a younger man more qualified than myself in the area of recladding and substantial redesign processes. James has shown these skill sets throughout my rebuild to date and shown a desire to work with me to achieve the result I am looking for.
I am looking forward to moving back to my home on completion the early part of 2026. James has shown a positive approach to this project and projected a thorough knowledge of all aspects of the construction industry and I would with no hesitation recommend him and his company [JMC BUILD] to any endeavour that requires the services of a top class construction company.

“James came with trade qualifications and an extensive building background, so my job seemed like a small project for him, however, with great enthusiasm for all work did not deter him any way. James used several other subcontractors to finish my project in a very short time frame and I was thrilled with the outcome.
Through having worked as a contracts manager and recruiter of numerous staff and contractors working across various trades, I have strong opinions on who demonstrates mediocrity or talent, and I immediately felt that James was a great find and if future opportunities arose, I would have no hesitation in inviting him to take on more work for me. It is such a pleasure for me to be able to provide this reference for James as I was so impressed with his level of professionalism and delivery of exceptional customer service and he only deserves to do well. I recommend James without reservation as whoever selects him as their building contractor will be sure of working with a pleasant, highly reliable, skilled and conscientious professional.”

"I engaged JMC Build to coordinate and carry out building work on a major project which involved an excavation under my house to add an extra floor of approximately 220sqm under my 1895 villa. After the lower floor was constructed JMC installed a staircase to the upper floor, which was then extensively remodelled. It was an important consideration for me that the new construction should not only blend in with the original joinery, but also that it should not be possible to easily identify which parts were new.
Many subcontractors were involved and these were efficiently coordinated by James, who worked in well with my designer. JMC Build did an excellent job, achieved the brief, and I am very pleased with the end result. I am happy to recommend them to other customers including those who may have a large or complex project."
