I will never leave our wonderful home.
“Throughout the renovation process, MK Building Solutions have kept our family as their prime consideration. We have lived in the house throughout the renovation, and whilst it hasn’t always been easy, Marco made it possible. The kids thought it was an adventure, and we all loved watching the transformation of our house. Communication, Consideration and Professionalism are the three words that come to mind when I think of MK Building Solutions. I tell everyone that I will never leave our wonderful new home now that the renovation is done. Our house had good bones and a good location, but it was dark, cold, outdated and had some structural issues. Now it is light-filled, open, is structurally strong and shows our personality.”

Excellent ideas, planning & execution.
“We were referred to MK Building Solutions by a colleague after the renovation of our children’s bathroom by a “leading” bathroom renovation company was a little more than average. We wanted to renovate our main bathroom and were disillusioned about who to engage with. After meeting with Marco, we felt that working with him would be a partnership, and he genuinely wanted to create the bathroom we wanted. After our “interview” with Marco, we found he has a solid background in construction, and with him being the actual builder on our project, we knew that our ideas wouldn’t have to go thru “consultants” to “supervisors” whom we would be just another job too. Our discussions with Marco unravelled a great benefit that became invaluable – his wife, Laila, is a leading interior designer who – as we now look back upon it, gave us the finish and style in our bathroom that we could never have attained on our own. Laila has a wonderful eye for style and elegance while still being functional. The renovation process was easy for us; Marco was very hands-on, his tradespeople were all excellent, polite and clean, and they had a very high level of craftsmanship. During the renovation, we did change a few minor things from our original plan, and Marco had no issues with it. The result for us is higher than we thought could be achieved. Both Marco and Laila have great bravery in what they do. Unassuming and modest yet knowledgeable, they both think outside the box, becoming partners with their clients to provide something many people desire and dream about – an outstanding renovation. PS We have now engaged MK Building Solutions with our kitchen renovation. That’s the confidence we have in Marco and Laila.”

Marco is true to his word and sticks to his promises.
“After competitively tendering a sizable amount of renovation work and having come through this experience unscathed whilst we were still living in our home, we can honestly say that our renovation project has been very successful. We had set Marco a tight schedule with an expectation of high-quality finishes and, importantly, our expectation of active project management and being kept fully informed at all times. Marco was true to his word, and all of his trades’ people were clearly of exceptional quality borne out by their high standards. His trades’ team seamlessly worked around our needs of living in the home whilst the work was underway with Marco to ensure the tight schedule was kept. Laila meanwhile proved invaluable in enthusiastically assisting us with materials and equipment selections and ensuring we got the best possible deals. We have used MK Building Solutions twice recently, and both projects have been sizable refurbishment undertakings. What they say is actually what they do deliver, so we can sincerely recommend Marco and his team to you.”

We love our home!
“Our home was not one we loved to live in before Marco, and his team worked their magic. Marco saw our vision & executed the renovation with the utmost professionalism. His team was always friendly & professional & were here Monday to Saturday for five months until we had our new home. Living in a house during a full renovation is not an easy task & we could not have done it without the support of Marco &Laila. We highly recommend this company to anybody looking for a professional, honest builder. Thanks, MK Building Solutions!”

Love my kitchen!
“I love my new kitchen! It is so much more functional. I love cooking in my new kitchen as I can have several dishes on the go with much more bench space to spread out. I love that my kids can sit at the breakfast bar and do their homework or chat with me while I’m cooking dinner. I love how much more storage space I have and how the draws make it so easy to access things while I’m cooking. Well worth the weeks of disruption in not having a functioning kitchen. Thanks again to you, Marco and your team.”

MK Building Solutions is a Gem in the industry
“My wife and I found MK Building Solutions purely by chance through a recommendation of a friend of our building designer. Since we only ever use trades and services recommended to us through people we trust, we were keen to give MK Building Solutions the opportunity to tender for our house extension. MK Building Solutions is extremely professional, and has been throughout the whole process, from prompt responses to emails to taking the time to explain the technical minutiae of the building process when we had a question, though to working closely with us to get our specifications just right to minimise future variations. Once the administrative side of the planning process was complete, MK’s team started work, and wow, were we surprised at how fast things happened! In a week, they had completed the necessary demolition, cleared the portion of the site that needed clearing and poured the new foundations. This amazing pace was only slowed over the Christmas shutdown, not because MK’s team took a break but because they could not get the materials to continue working. This efficiently continued throughout the whole building process, only ever slowed down when waiting for a delivery of materials we had bought for the site. A personal suggestion to anyone considering building with MK, choose your fittings and fixtures early because they will be needed sooner than you think!!! The whole build was completed, barring a couple of minor tidy-ups, in 24 weeks, which was amazing when you look at the work completed in our project. While speed is nice, our primary drivers were cost and quality. We wanted the best possible product for the money we had to spend, and MK delivered this. While we did have a few variations, they were all items that improved the final finish of the build, which, ultimately, we are delighted to spend that little bit extra. Would we use MK Building Solutions again? Absolutely. Do we recommend them to friends, family and people we meet on the street? Constantly. MK Building is a rare gem in the building industry. They are open, honest and willing to work with you to get the best possible outcome for your project. We highly recommend them and are more than willing to discuss their work with anyone considering building with them.”

Excellent work.
“MK Building Solutions were excellent to work with to build the Garden Studio I had designed for my backyard. They provided the best quote and added a great range of extras for the bathroom. The studio went up quickly, and they were always available at the end of the phone to problem solve any issues. Overall it was a great experience working with Marco and the team, and I would recommend MK Building Solutions to people seeking good quality, friendly service.”

The ideal builder.
“MK Building Solutions were the ideal builder we spent quite some time looking for. As we were looking for a tailored solution to our difficult block/situation, Marco was on-site managing the trades and ensuring a top finish was achieved. We are happy with the result and can hopefully use them again on future projects.”

Punctuality, Quality, Responsiveness, & Value
Marco and Leila worked very well as a team and were always very concerned about achieving the best price for products and labour. Their honest and open communication was refreshing.
They went to great lengths to find out our wishes at all stages and were very creative with helpful suggestions to produce the best outcome. They were always very concerned about achieving the best price for products and labour, and I found them very honest and open.
We chose to work on a cost-plus basis because I like the fairness of it if you have honest people.
After a couple of months, I decided to raise Marco’s margin because he was doing a good job with excellent suggestions that saved us money and improved the position.
He warned me that perhaps I should reconsider because we were coming into an expensive part of the job. His warning typified his great attitude, and I felt great to be able to pay more than the initial agreed amount in our contract. I don’t think many people would do that, and it reflects how impressed we were on so many different levels.
