Cannot recommend Doug and the team enough. We engaged Blackwell Constructions to repair termite damage and create an open plan living space. We could not be happier with the quality of work and feel we got a great value for the job. The team are incredibly knowledgeable and easy to deal with. You will not be disappointed!

Very happy with Blackwell Construction's work. We engaged Doug three years ago to repair the waterproofing on our balcony which was leaking into the room underneath, and the work was completed to a very high standard. A couple of years later when another leak occurred, Doug came to investigate and arranged to repair the leak at no charge, including repairing the water damage inside, despite finding it was not even related to his original work. This is going above and beyond! Note: Other builders gave us slightly cheaper quotes, but they had misdiagnosed the issues, and would have cause more problems and cost in the long run. Doug identified the issues immediately. You get what you pay for, and Doug saved us money in the long run.

Doug and his team were absolutely phenomenal. We had previously brought them in to help us with a renovation and they did such a brilliant job that we got them back to do our extension. We’re very happy with the quality of their work, the other trades they work with and just being a very friendly and engaging team to have onsite. Couldn’t recommend them any more highly if you’re looking for some renovation or extension work on your home.

I've referred more than a few clients to Doug at Blackwell Construction over the years and he has never failed to deliver. His communication is straightforward, his crew does excellent work, and all I ever hear is thanks from my clients for putting them together. If you're in the (outer) eastern suburbs of Melbourne and looking to complete a home renovation, no matter how big or small, give Doug a call. You won't be disappointed

Doug’s Blackwell Construction company has just completed an amazing refurbishment of our toilet for the disabled on our property. Together we resolved a range of challenges, led by Doug and his professional team. The local MP officially opened the facility and was was impressed by the workmanship. We would call on this company when further work was required.

Testimonials

Rob & Amanda

Blackwell Construction did an outstanding job on our major renovation. Very professional, great to deal with and first class results. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to others. As well as providing guidance at every point in our job, Doug’s can-do attitude made a huge difference to the end result and to the length of time to get it done. Nothing is impossible with Doug!

We recently engaged Blackwell to perform a fairly large renovation project (including earthworks). Doug and the team were exceptional throughout the process, from quoting through to completion everything was completed to a very high standard of work. Any issues were quickly addressed, with Doug drawing on his considerable experience and network of contacts to achieve the best possible outcome. We are thrilled with the final result and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Blackwell Construction – we will certainly be using them again in the future!
