Jobs completed

Top Notch Construction & Driveways

Great customer service before and after the job.  Highly recommend 

Patio and step tiled

I cannot recommend Paul enough.  He was very reliable and when I got stuck as to how to go about solving the issues with water ingress around the foundations Paul's knowledge was invaluable.    Am so pleased with the steps, the neighbours have been very complementary!  His tidy up was very thorough, very easy to work with, on time,  reasonable quotes. Paul  and his team worked through some horrible weather,  hard working got the whole job done in a week.

soak-away, driveway and new front door steps

Paul and his team did a fantastic job and were a pleasure to have working at our home.  They were extremely hardworking with great communication on a daily basis.

From start to finish Paul was really accomodating and we are very happy wih the finished job.  He was also very patient when we made some changes to the scope of the job and needed a bit of time to make decisions, offering valuable advise.

Would definitely recommend and use again for future projects.
