"We used Buchanan Construction to completely reclad our 2-storey home, install new double-glazed joinery, replace decking, carry out internal renovations and reconstruct internal and external stairs. Tony and his team were always very professional, efficient and productive."

"Having extremely high standards and expectations, Buchanan Construction not only met but exceeded these with quality workmanship, care and responsibility. Tony’s effective communication ensured everyone was kept well-informed and involved throughout and his recommendations and management."
"Tony did a major renovation on a difficult site for me. The whole process was fun, and we couldn't be happier with the outcome, which is largely due to Tony's attention to detail, diligence and the fact that he is a down to earth nice guy who is easy to get on with. I fully recommend Tony and am happy to provide verbal references."
"Tony has been my go-to builder for several years now. Being a tradesman myself I look for high quality workmanship and honest pricing. Tony takes ownership of the project from start to finish, he is easy to communicate with, and his team are easy to have around. I highly recommend Buchanan Renovations."
