★★★★★Kerry Marshall

I was looking for advice on repairing our leaky roof at home. Through a friend, I had heard of Nick's business in home inspections, and knowing he was a well respected builder, he seemed an ideal person to contact. I gave Nick a call and he was immediately accommodating to scedule a visit within days. He did a thourough inspection and then explained easily what was needed to repair. He respected I wanted to do what I could myself to keep the cost down, and clearified thoses areas, and adviced on the areas best left to professional tradespeople. He then looked around some other areas of the house that I had queries on, and gave some sound advice on improving them to better suit our ways of living. I found Nick's advice to be invaluable. From a situation I felt initially overwhelmed by, Nick gave me practical solutions to the problems, but more-so, had inspired me with the confidence to move forward. He respected our needs, and recommended appropriate tradespeople to help us achieve the outcomes efficiently. I highly recommend Nick and his team for any future inspections to anyone in, or looking into, the property market. Many Thanks Nick, Kerry Marshall

★★★★★Philip Jackson

Nick carried out alterations to our home when we were renovating our Kitchen, this involved removing some small walls and installing a new doorway and extending some existing walls. Nicks team were professional and carried out all the work without problems, any issues that arose were sorted quickly and to the satisfaction of the building inspector and me, work was completed on time and within budget. The workmanship is first class and unlike some builders cleaned up and removed all the waste from site. Nick took care of all permits and documents with the local council. I would have no problems using his team again and can highly recommend them. Phil Jackson.

★★★★★Stephen and Gill Hooper (hoopertribe)

The unique nature of our property (with stunning views) meant that the process of building our new home was always going to require a creative approach to design and construction. From the beginning, Nick and the team of builders, trades people and designers took our vision and translated it into a reality. The build process was incredibly smooth. Nick kept us fully informed throughout the process especially when we encountered challenges. His methodical approach to managing each tradesperson meant that each group followed in a logical sequence without tripping over each other. This means that the finish on plastering, painting, electrical and plumbing work has been first class. Almost 3 years into our new home we are still utterly impressed with the design, workmanship and finish. There have been no issues at any point and we would highly recommend Little Pig for anyone considering a new build or renovation. Well done team.

★★★★★Rachel Julia

I asked Nick to do a pre-purchase inspection on a house I was thinking of buying in Murchison. The report was incredibly thorough and detailed and gave me all of the information I needed to make an informed decision.

★★★☆☆Barbara Grant

We bought a section that Nick owned and had to go with him as the builder of our home. Not ideal, but we thought he had been around a long time, so should know what he was doing. Sometimes a builder is too new, so maybe doesn't have the experience, and sometimes a builder has been doing it too long, so doesn't really care. For us, Nick was the second. Nick is a nice guy and very personable, until things don't go right. So many things went wrong in the building of our home and they shouldn't have, if Nick was paying attention, and gave a damn. He clearly wasn't and didn't. He needs a Project Manager. We don't recommend him, and advise, if you are building, to look elsewhere.
