Testimonials
“After completing plans for major renovations, our architect personally recommended
three builders. We obtained quotes from each of the builders and chose John Condon
for the job. After several meetings, we were very pleased with our decision and
most impressed with his ‘down to earth’ approach and easy-going manner. Since I
travel frequently with work, I needed a builder who would be flexible enough to
time the work to coincide with the days I was at home. John was more than willing
to do this and the work proceeded very smoothly. We requested that the new work
blend in a particular way with the original fabric of the house. This required the
use of both traditional and modern techniques and was successfully achieved on John’s
part. He was also able to contribute many valuable suggestions especially when dealing
with the inevitable problems as they arose. The tradesmen who were employed by John
were of a very high standard. We are very pleased with the end result and do not
hesitate in recommending John Condon to anyone looking for a truly professional
and reliable builder.”

“We are extremely happy with the work that you have undertaken and were happy with
the quality of your employees, particularly the onsite team leader, who was clearly
committed to achieving a quality result and was also extremely respectful of our
issues. The work as you well know was completed in the time frame expected, and
the price was as agreed with the exception of variations that we initiated and subsequently
agreed to along the way. I wish you well for the future, and successes for you and
your team which you richly deserve.”
Greg and Penny, Hunters Hill
“We were extremely pleased with the work done for us. The work was of extremely
high quality, done within the time we had specified and was within our budget. The
work was complex, as being an old house, the extent of the work needed was not clear
until it began. John gave accurate quotes where possible and outlined the various
possibilities of dealing with certain problems. We always felt that we were well
informed of the various options available, both in regard the quality and cost.
The site was cleaned up promptly and the intrusion was minimal. We are delighted
with the completed job and have no hesitation in recommending John Condon.”

“I have known John Condon of Harbour City Homes P/L since 1998 in his role as builder
on projects, which were constructed and inspected within the Parramatta and Gosford
Council areas, that were under my direct control as a Director and an Accredited
Building Surveyor. I have found John to be a conscientious person who has a sound
knowledge of building industry and the construction standards applicable to domestic
and commercial construction works. A project at Great Western Highway, Parramatta
that had a value of $550, 000.00 is an excellent example of his workmanship for
a commercial project and was complete to a good and workmanlike manner. A project
at West St, Umina that had a value of $1, 500, 000.00 is an excellent example of
his workmanship in a multi residential project and was completed to a good and workmanlike
manner. I have always found John to be a person of the highest integrity

“John Condon undertook and completed a significant renovation/extension of my property,
a 2 storey terrace house. I awarded the job to John on the basis of price and his
excellent references. As an architect, I am well aware that alterations and additions
work of the type I was undertaking invariably will involve unforeseen items. It
was important to me to have a contractor I felt I could trust to be reasonable in
pricing variations, and in dealing with the unexpected. I have been extremely satisfied
with the completed product, and visitors including professional colleagues, have
commented on the apparent quality of the building work.”

wanting a quality job done on budget and on time.”

“We have been professionally involved with John Condon or Harbour City Homes P/L
for approximately three years. During all projects with Harbour City Homes P/L we
have been constantly involved during design and construction stages and have found
them to be careful, diligent and methodical in their approach to all aspects of
construction.”

“I have had dealings with John in a professional capacity over the past 8 years
and in this time John has been the builder for a number of my projects. All were
alterations and additions to existing houses and it is noteworthy that all have
had heritage significance, consequently requiring an above average standard of detailing
and finishing. I consider John to be a competent, cooperative and capable builder
whom I continue to recommend to my clients.”
