I had the pleasure of working with CBS Builders on one of our high-end residential projects in NSW, and I am thoroughly impressed with the results.

McGrath Estate Agents

CBS Builders did an amazing job in handling the refurbishment of my apartment. Having to deal with the body corporate, neighbours, suppliers, and of course, the owner is a constant challenge, I am sure. Yet it was done seamlessly, with great integrity and the end result was amazing. On time and on budget in a high-quality fashion. Everything one could ask for.

It is without hesitation that we would recommend CBS Builders to any of our clients as a preferred contractor. Their attention to detail and director involvement is quite rare in today’s building culture.

CBS Builders delivered a complex facade remediation in the outer Sydney CBD, replacing combustible cladding on a high-quality residential building with precision and professionalism. Their meticulous approach to dismantling and re-fitting facade elements, including balcony privacy screens and staged scaffolding, ensured on-time delivery despite latent challenges. CBS Builders’ solutions-focused attitude, strict contract compliance, and cost-conscious management guaranteed exceptional, reliable outcomes.

Fortis Development Group × Dowco

CBS Builders are undertaking complex remedial and refurbishment works at The Lofts, Zetland, involving unconventional structural upgrades and conditions rarely encountered in typical building projects. The works require careful staging, detailed investigation and the ongoing resolution of concealed conditions as they are uncovered. CBS have approached these challenges in a practical, solutions-focused manner and have demonstrated the experience and capability required to deliver demanding remedial construction works. We look forward to the completed refurbishment.
