“I have known James for three years.  He first started building my driveway for a sub-division I was undertaking. The next project was building my house. 

The finished job has exceeded all my expectations. The job was done professionally with no corners cut.  I absolutely love it.

James didn’t just look at the plans and built the house he double checked with me when he thought things could be done a better way.  He had several good ideas which I very much appreciated his input.

All the people working on my house were very respectful and helpful not once did I have to back my car down the driveway they would do it for me if they needed to use the driveway.

I have no hesitation in recommending him.”

Client Feedback

“We engaged Horton Construction Management for a complete renovation of our Art Deco apartment in Manly.

James and his team were incredible to work with and were invaluable for us first-time renovators.  We could tell James really cared about our apartment, taking the time to walk us through all phases of the build and going the extra mile to ensure the finishes were perfect. We were impressed with how clean and tidy the unit was throughout the entire process.

Our build involved the replacement of structural walls with steel beams to open up the kitchen-living-dining space, relocation of the kitchen, replacement of the bathroom and other remedial building and services works to bring the apartment into the 21st century. We encountered a few curve balls along the way to be anticipated for a 1930’s building, but James always had options and solutions to suit our budget.

We are so pleased with the results and couldn’t recommend Horton Construction Management more highly for anyone looking to carry out any building work.”

My husband and I engaged Horton Constructions in April of 2022. Our job was a second addition and we remained living in the house throughout the entire construction.

James and his team were capable, well-mannered and friendly, they were a dream to deal
with. We were greeted each morning with a team of professionals who always kept the site
organised, tidy and safe.

Prior to commencement James was able to liaise with the architect, certifiers, and other bodies to help with creative and economical options for our project. Once the build commenced, any decisions or issues were met with productive discussion and realistic, economical solutions.

The build progressed efficiently and consistently without any major issue. James is a perfectionist and his attention to detail was remarkable. The job was finished to the highest standard and James has given us a result of great value that we are truly proud to show off.

We were regularly updated at all times with progression reports on timings and costings. The job was completed in 6 months; on time and on budget.

We could not be happier with the building work that was carried out and completed. We highly recommend Horton Construction and would definitely engage them again for future jobs
