Design & Approval

"Lavish Living Construction was recommended to us through mutual contacts in the construction industry, to assist with the main build construction phase of our project in Dee Why.

We engaged Lavish Living Construction to be the project management team to ensure that the major trades were engaged in a timely fashion within budget. The project was a private luxury residence, built over four levels in full brick/masonry with four concrete slabs and a lift shaft.

The site was highly challenging — being a steeply sloping site with poor access. Under the steerage of Abdul, we were able to implement a programme that delivered a staged construction schedule without a fixed crane on site, which was highly cost effective.

Abdul Zreika, the principal of Lavish Living Construction, also made many recommendations whilst in the Project Management role, including addressing engineering issues, which resulted in significant cost savings. He also was able to source reliable trades and deliver to timelines. Abdul brought his expertise on site management and OHS implementation to our build, ensuring that the site complied with DA conditions and building and construction industry guidelines and safety standards.

The engagement of Lavish Living Construction provided an easier building experience to our project. A smooth construction process saves both time and money whilst at the same time alleviating concerns regarding sourcing reliable trades.

We would recommend Abdul Zreika and Lavish Living Construction in similar roles and development projects. Our site was challenging with many builders declining the opportunity to build our project or quoting outside our budget parameters. Abdul offered us an effective solution, with an outstanding result."

"Now that our extension work is coming to a close, I thought it was a good opportunity to share our gratitude with you.

Matt, my parents, Jenni and Dave, and I would all like to say a massive thank you for the professionalism, organisation and hard work that yourself and your team at Lavish Living Construction put in to help create a home for our family. From day one you made us feel at ease and went out of your way to ensure everyone was happy with the decisions made. Our extension seemed an impossible dream to us and I’m sure at times, was a headache for you, but you managed to keep a level head and took all the stress off our shoulders. We were extremely impressed with the level of respect and kindness that your employees and you showed to our entire family whilst the extension was taking place above and around us. We couldn’t be happier with the end result, we are still in awe when we arrive home and see what our new house looks like – inside and out! Not only does it look amazing, but due to your impeccable organisation and leadership, was achieved in an incredibly short time.

Finding a loyal, trustworthy and timely builder is a difficult thing nowadays but you are definitely the exception! Not only did you stay to budget, everything you achieved was to the highest standard with no corners cut. My husband deals with builders on a regular basis with his job and they do not compare.

We would have absolutely no hesitation in using yourself and your team for future works, as well as recommending you to any friends and family. Thank you for making this hectic time feels much more enjoyable and bearable.

We will all miss seeing you around, but I’m sure we’ll find some more things for you to do around the place! Thanks again."

“Lavish Living Construction Group are experienced builders with a great aesthetic eye. They built an extension on our house and renovated the exterior. Their workmanship exceeded all expectations. The build was in the time-frame and cost they predicted and were able to incorporate changes as they arose. Their experience offered us good advice and options. Their workmen and suppliers are reliable, honest and well presented. They use quality building products and take no short cuts. It was a pleasure to work with Lavish Living Construction and we would recommend them.”

“Just wanted to say thank you for the great job you did with our driveway. We were very pleased with the time it took to complete (despite the best efforts of the weather to delay us), the quality workmanship, and your friendly assistance throughout the project. Jenni and I would have no hesitation in using your services again, and we would be happy to recommend you to any other potential customers.”

“We had extensive excavation works, followed by the installation of new sandstone-style block walls, patterned pathways, new steps and drainage works carried out by Abdul and the team from Lavish Living Construction Pty Ltd. The whole project was done on time and budget to a very standard by a team that cared about satisfying our requirements. There has been no need for any follow-up corrective actions. We have no hesitation in using them again for our next project or recommending Lavish Living Construction to anyone for any similar works.”

“Lavish Living Construction carried out building works to our childcare centre at Eastwood during December and the early months of 2009. We could not be more pleased with the results of his work. The transformation Abdul and his workers effected to our centre was beyond our expectations.

We should also mention the following:

- All work was carried out diligently and efficiently.

- When necessary, work was carried out over weekends

- All work was carried out in stages to minimise the disruption to the staff and children. It must be noted that Abdul was able to stage the work so that the centre did not need to close (except for the pre-scheduled 2 week Christmas break)

- Abdul has always been ready to attend to additional matters we required during the work. He accepted extra work with confidence and equanimity.

- His respect for our staff and families was at all times exemplary

- Since Abdul completed the Eastwood project, he has carried out building works on our other properties. We have been totally satisfied and grateful for his assistance.

- When Abdul has been too busy to take on additional projects, he has always found another builder for us.

Recently, we contacted Abdul with a major problem with our new fireplace. Although Abdul had nothing to do with this project, he has undertaken to fix the problem for us. We have total confidence in him.

We have found Abdul to be a man of integrity. We trust him implicitly.”

“Lavish Living Construction has done a number of projects for my company, each one under very pressing time constraints. Abdul has never let me down and we have been delighted with his team’s work. We are presently working with him on our next project and have no doubt Abdul and his team will once again do an outstanding job.”

“I employed Abdul Zreika as a builder to do an extension to my home in 2009. The extension included adding a second storey to the existing house and altering internal walls to include a new bathroom, new kitchen and a large deck area extending from the back of the house. This is the 7th house I have renovated and I found Lavish Living Construction to be the best of all builders I have used. He stayed within budget and finished all his work on the designated completion date. Not only was Abdul honest and reliable, something which I have found difficult to find in many builders, his work is of a superior quality. Abdul has since done numerous work for my friends and colleagues and I have heard many compliments regarding his excellent workmanship and integrity. I wish Abdul all the best in his building future. I would not hesitate use Lavish Living Construction again and highly recommend him.”

“I would like to express my gratitude and appreciation for making my dream home a reality to the team at Lavish Living Construction. From start to finish, I was always kept up to date with the progress of the reconstruction through our site meetings and phone calls. The company were always punctual and stayed within budget. With the benefit of the staff experience and knowledge, Lavish Living Construction played a key role in several innovative solutions and ideas. The builder also overcame several challenges including the narrow limited access to my land. It has been a pleasure working with the team and I have no hesitation in recommending their services to other homeowners and I look forward to working with the company on future project.”
