We have had an awesome experience with Klay and his team! Super reliable with great communication. Highly recommend, he’s always the first person we direct our family and friends to now Reply: Thanks heaps for the great review! Really appreciate the kind words and referrals — means a lot. Always a pleasure working with you, and glad we could make it a smooth experience.

Klay and his team have completed the work in our building on time and within budget. The quality and workmanship of the interior walls and kitchen is excellent and exactly how we asked. Klay had previously built a boundary fence on our property which often had locals commenting on the quality, looks and finish.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Great Northern Construction, and I couldn't be happier with the results! Klay and his team did a fantastic job replacing the weatherboard on my home. From start to finish, their professionalism and attention to detail were evident. Klay took the time to explain the process and answer all my questions, which really put my mind at ease. The crew was punctual, respectful, and worked hard, I highly recommend Great Northern Construction to anyone in need of quality workmanship and reliable service. Thank you, Klay and team, for a job well done

We engaged Klay (Great Northern Construction) to build a deck, including materials and labour. The quality of workmanship was excellent, and the finished result exceeded our expectations. Throughout the project, communication was clear and consistent - we were kept informed at every stage. The team are very patient and accommodating, taking the time to understand our requirements and making adjustments as needed. Highly recommend.

Highly recommended! Did our renovation, estimated the job and basically came in bang on price even with a few extras. Very flexible and approachable. Happy to go the extra mile and think outside the box more than I’ve experienced with other builders in the past. Very good quality workmanship as well. Thanks Klay you’ll be called for the next one for sure Reply: Thanks for the great review — really appreciate it. Renovating old villas always comes with a few curveballs, but we made it work and were stoked with how it came together. Glad we could stay on budget, even with a few extras along the way. Always aim to be flexible, solution-focused, and deliver solid workmanship — so it’s great to hear that came through. Looking forward to the next one! Cheers, Klay
