Testimonials

"We are very excited to build with Gordon Bourke. Having built with 2 other builders in the past I must say so far our experience has been nothing but great. Crystal has been absolutely wonderful and very informative and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. I annoy her quite regularly with calls, visits and text messages and it's never a problem. We are very happy with the quality of fixtures and fittings and can't wait for the finished product."

- Debbie and Jason

Crystal is an absolute treasure to Gordon Bourke Homes. She was incredibly helpful and valuable during the early days of our build. Crystal was always reachable and answered many of my silly questions with a smile. Crystal, you are such a kind, genuine and friendly person :)

The whole building experience would not have been the same without her and we truly appreciate all she has done.

- Hayley Morris

In a world where SO much has changed since our last build five years ago, Crystal from Gordon Bourke Homes has been the sense of calm in the turbulent seas that seem to surround construction now. She has effortlessly guided us from our concept to plans to slab down, and we couldn't be happier with the support she has provided. She has answered all of our questions without making us feel silly for asking them, and has helped us in resolving any issues as they popped up. I would absolutely recommend working with Crystal if you have the chance!

- Erin Phillips

Thank you to all the team at Gordon Bourke for a fabulous experience with building my wonderful home. It did turn out just as I had dreamed 😁

From my first contact with Sean, on-site discussions with Ian, colour selections with Jodie, admin assistance from Tonya and regular updates with Paul throughout the build, the entire team have been helpful, courteous and a pleasure to work with. A big thank you to all and huge recommendations to trust Gordon Bourke with your build!

- Carol Morris

As first home buyers, we cannot express how grateful we are for Shawn's exceptional service and expertise. From our first meeting, he made the entire process feel smooth and stress-free, answering all our questions with patience and clarity.

Shawn really took the time to understand what we were looking for in a home, guiding us through every step with personalised recommendations and insightful advice. His knowledge of the market and attention to detail blew us away. Shawn was always available to help, ensuring that we felt supported and confident throughout the journey. His standout quality was his direct & honest approach. He would set realistic expectations & ensure we were aware of what was & wasn't possible from the start. Thanks to him, we're now on our way to our first home.

If you're looking for a professional, approachable, and truly dedicated contact, Shawn is the person you want. His commitment to customer satisfaction is unparalleled, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend Shawn and Gordon Bourke Homes to anyone looking to buy their first home or their next home.

- Blake Ingleton’

Shawn provided exceptional service and no question was a dumb question (and I asked many!!). He was professional and friendly and took the time to explain the process fully and in easy to understand way...which is great as I've never built a house before and didn't really know what I was doing. I appreciated his patience. Shawn helped me personalize my design and guided me every step of the way to getting approvals etc. Now I can't wait to see my house plan become a reality!!

- Shirlee Bryant

On time and under budget. Beautiful family home designed to meet our needs. The team at GB were always happy to keep us informed on progress along the way. We cannot recommend them enough.

- Peta

We recently finished building our home with Gordon Bourke Homes and would highly recommend them to anyone. We found the process stress-free and well managed by the GBC team. The sales and design team were very helpful. The construction management were great to communicate with. The final build was of high quality and we could not fault anything.

- Benjamin Goan

Gordon Bourke Builders was a dream to deal with, the seamless interaction between all staff and trades made the process a pleasant experience. I would recommend Gordon Bourke builders to anyone that is looking to build in the Toowoomba area. This was our very first build and could not have been happier with the attention to detail and the build time frame

- Greg Backhouse

We have just built a house with Gordon Bourke Homes. The hardest part of the process was picking the colours of tiles, flooring, bricks and paint colour inside, and all done with expert help. I would gladly build another home with Gordon Bourke, they made everything so easy.

- Sue Lynch

We recently built our 2nd home with Gordon Bourke Constructions! Our home was beautifully finished to a high standard, the staff were supportive of our dream and we couldn’t be happier. Thanks to the GBC team for their expertise. If looking to build a home we highly recommend talking to Gordon Bourke Constructions.
