G.J. Gardner Homes Southern Highlands owner David O’Brien said G.J. Gardner received a rating of 4.7 out of a possible 5-star rating from 214 reviews on ProductReview.com.au, making them the top-rated national builder among hundreds of builders that are tracked by the consumer opinion website.
We are proud to be part of a brand that has such a strong reputation among our clients. Reputation is everything in the building game and these results show we’re doing the right thing by our clients.”
“We have built an environment of trust with new home builders, with a focus on delivering transparency, guaranteed build times, strong communication and fixed budgets.”
Mr O’Brien said G.J. Gardner Homes was constantly looking for new ways to make the design and building process easier for clients.
“Last year we launched an Australian-first special immersive 3D tour experience for new home buyers, allowing them to virtually walk through homes and customise floor plans on screen. This has been a game changer, as it allows our clients to visualise what would be as close to the actual finish and build quality as possible.”
Mr O’Brien said G.J. Gardner Homes had also worked at improving trust in its design ability launching a collaboration with leading Australian interior designer and The Block judge, Darren Palmer to create six exclusive house interior and façade designs.
“This collaboration is a first for G.J. Gardner Homes and also for Darren and makes high end design accessible for our new home builder clients whatever their budget.”

Top writing tips
As the hit 1982 song famously declared, ‘words don’t come easy’ – but words are crucial for any business to describe to the market what they do and why they do it best. A Bowral-based PR business – Peak Media Relations - has recently launched a new wordsmith service to help real estate agencies and other businesses generate professional, inspiring, engaging and grammatically correct content.
Peak Media director Andrew Mevissen shared three tips on the importance of editorial integrity:
1 – Bad grammar is a big put-off and can turn away potential customers unimpressed by the lack of professionalism so check all spelling and punctuation.
2 - Good copy needs an inspiring and engaging hook that captures the imagination of the reader. People are busy so find something interesting to say.
3 - Use humour and emotion in your wording. Boring, wallpaper copy will be ignored so your message needs to get out of the box.
