  • "From start to finish Ben and his team took the upmost care and detail in our kitchen rennovation. They completed the job within the budget and within the time frame! Their attention to detail was incredibe and also on time and very lovey to deal with. Would 100% recommend Craven Built."

    - Caroline B

  • "I was having trouble finding a good builder after our house caught fire in August last year. I came across Ben from Craven Built on the VBA website. Being a chippy my self I knew from talking to Ben he knew his stuff, he was very helpful and accomodating to work in with us on our building permits and the tight deadline we had with the insurance. The quality of his work was amazing and he stuck around and helped me out with other trades and completing the build. He was completely transparent the entire way and overall top bloke."
