A few words from our customers…

We were new to the District so spent a lot of time selecting the builder for our substantial renovation. Our architectural and passive house principled design called for a builder who had the necessary experience along with a close attention to detail. We met with Chris and Steve and were immediately impressed. Chris led his team from QT Builders and did a fantastic job.

They all had as much enthusiasm for the project as we did. They worked well with our architect and design engineer as well as the sub-trades and suppliers. Chris is a thoughtful builder continually providing smart solutions to issues as they arose. We will definitely use Chris and team again.

Richard & Maria.

QBJ built our first home for us. We had a very tricky sloping section to work with. Steve, Chris and their team were very accommodating through the entire building process. We were well informed about every stage of the process and guided through the whole decision making to ensure we would have the house of our dreams.

We cannot be happier with the outcome.
