Why choose us
Why Classic Constructions?
The consistent delivery of immaculate craftsmanship and exceptional customer service has honed our skills and knowledge to a level that is unparalleled in Canberra. Our wealth of experience allows us to rise to innovative challenges, and our steadfast reputation is the result of ongoing trusted relationships with our clients, our trades and the community.
We have consistently won awards every year from some of Australia’s most prestigious building associations since 1992. This is testament to our dedication to quality and innovation and sets the benchmark for every single home that we deliver.
Because we work as one team, our collaborative processes are seamless. This helps us minimise issues and miscommunication, and saves you time and money when our architects, designers and builders share their expertise during the planning process.
By working collaboratively with a select range of award-winning architects throughout the entire process, we ensure that our homes are not only highly innovative, but also “buildable”, functional and realistically achievable within your budget and time frames.
Good communication is absolutely paramount when it comes to building homes. We pride ourselves on being completely transparent with costs upfront, realistic about what can and can’t be achieved within budget constraints and highly flexible when it comes to last minute changes.
We know that building a home is not only one of the biggest expenses you’ll probably ever have, but also the culmination of your dreams and expectations. With more than 30 years’ experience, we are adept at avoiding potential issues whilst quickly and efficiently resolving unforeseen ones, so that you can focus on the excitement of seeing your home come to life.
We only work with people as equally passionate as us about delivering a quality product and great service as we are. From the tradespeople and contractors that we’ve been using for years — many in their second generation — to the award-winning architects and designers whose expertise we value, and our supply partners that regard quality as highly as we do.
We can incorporate all the factors that make your home fully complete, from your landscaping and exteriors, including the fencing, concrete and clothesline, right down to customising furniture.
Regardless of whether you start with a clean slate or customise our existing home designs, we match you with an architect who is best suited to you and your needs to provide a completely bespoke solution.
Because we treat every home as our own, we set our basic inclusions at the standard we would accept for ourselves, that we know will work well, add to your quality of life and last a long time including brands such as Miele, Hansgrohe and Villeroy & Boch.
