A huge congratulations to Matty Fong for completing his qualification recently.
This guy puts his heart and soul into every job, he’s a modern builder with an old school work ethic.
An incredibly proud moment for Matty, James and the Dovetail team! 🔨

It was all action on site today, placing the concrete after last weeks hard slog of digging and getting these monster posts into place for this 10m long retaining wall. 😅

"Thanks to Coral for her recent review after we finished her extensive renovation, which included complete refurbishment, an extension, landscaping, and garaging.

“I am thrilled with my finished project. Dovetail Builders doubled the size of my small house and completely renovated it inside and out, paying attention to detail and managing all aspects of the build and landscaping.
They brought a willingness to understand what was important to me. A big thank you to the team.”

Thanks to Kat for the lovely review from the work we recently completed on her beautiful villa. Which included rebuilding an extension, recladding, office space, new kitchen and ensuite.

“I can’t recommend Dovetail Builders highly enough. James has excellent communication skills. The team he has working for him was fantastic. They were incredibly reliable and respectful of my home. The most significant difference to the home is the conversations where James would say, “I’ve been thinking about your kitchen, and I think …”. James wasn’t just going through the motions.”
