My wife and I decided to select Hammerhead building projects as our builder because of the incredible work we had seen his team deliver and his excellent reputation in our region.
As an engineer I deal with hundreds of builders and architects in the Northern Rivers and Gold Coast. I had the pleasure of inspecting many of Luke’s builds and watching them take shape he stood out to me.
I noticed how detailed and considered his work was. I quickly learnt how much he cared about building the absolute best homes possible without compromising on anything no matter what the budget.
Based on this my wife and I decided not to tender out our build, but instead chose Luke and his team as we knew we could trust him to deliver the best possible home for our budget. It was critically important to have Luke locked in from the start of the project as his input was so valuable.
Luke and his skilled team of carpenters and sub trades are exceptional in every way. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the entire process of working with Luke from the concept of our dream home with our architect involved all the way through to handing over the keys ahead of schedule. He was always very conscious of our budget and guided us through every step of the journey. Not a single detail was left to chance. Everything was considered and executed with precision. Luke is extremely professional and there were absolutely no surprises.
Our family love living in our beautiful home and it gives me great joy knowing that it was built to stand the tests of time.
I loved working with Luke so much so that I made sure my own parents built with him no matter what – regardless of what other builders were offering. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Hammerhead building projects for any project.
For our family there is no other choice.

We were lucky that our architect insisted we use Luke Fitcher (Hammerhead Constructions) to build our home at Cabarita. Luke is relentless – his attention to detail is impeccable, very important to him and also to his staff, not to mention to us, his clients. He made the building of our house a seamless event. He looked after our interests, including returning products or fittings that were not up to his standard or imperfect in some way. If we ever build another house, Luke will be building it.

Dear Luke,
As you know we have been lucky enough to own a unique block of land on which we had for many years been thinking about building our “dream house”.
We wanted to write to thank you and your team for helping make that dream come true!
The design and build of our house presented us with significant challenges. We had no prior experience of building a house. We really did not know where to start or how to make all of the decisions that go to make up the whole. In addition we are currently living nearly 1,000 kilometres from where our house was to be built. We therefore needed a builder whom we could trust to “hold our hand” through the entire process. We also needed a builder who could work closely with our architect to achieve a high quality final product.
The standard of the final building is outstanding. All of the fittings and finishes are first class. The overall result has exceeded all of our expectations. We cannot fault any aspect of your work. You provided very good feedback and information about progress throughout the build. There were no surprises from a billing or budget perspective. You worked very well with our architects. They have commented to us about your very professional approach to the whole project. You quickly and efficiently dealt with the minor “defects” that we did identify after taking possession at practical completion. As noted above because of our remoteness from the building site we had to rely on you to always do the “right thing”. You and your team did not let us down. Thank you!
Overall the process of building our new house has been a complete pleasure. We are absolutely thrilled with the final result. We are really looking forward to spending many years enjoying our new home.
Thank you again.

Put in a professional and genuine builder along with a committed and devoted architect and you have the vital ingredients for “homemade success”.
We have taken true pride upon ownership of such a beautifully designed and built home.
Your dedication and efficiency with Chris and your team of quality trades personal was paramount in making the whole building experience comfortable.
You guided us upon a strict budget, yet the ‘WOW’ factor welcomes us continuously day and night.
A friend commented “If you can exchange a social conversation with your builder after your house is built, then that is a good builder.”
You managed to capture all our requests and more to create our remarkable ‘home’. Which is truly a ‘breath of fresh air’. Total contentment and beyond has been accomplished .
Our sincere appreciation and gratitude for such an enjoyable and seamless home building journey.

Dear Luke,
Alana and I just wanted to express our sincere thanks for the excellent job you did restoring Houston at Currumbin Beach.
The whole building was riddled with concrete cancer and falling apart and you guys restored it to better than new. All the time keeping our tenants happy despite the difficult strucural and remediation work.
Many people in currumbin have thanked us for keeping the history of this building which is largely due to your efforts.
We look forward to building our next project with you!

Luke was the head contractor for a privately commissioned detached residential project that we designed at Lot 271 Longboard Circuit, Salt Village, (Kingscliff) NSW.
The contract value for the works was nominally $966 000, and it was completed in December 2008.
We found Luke to be:
- aware of, and confident in, his responsibilities for the process
- organised in his approach to the process
- approachable, and open to communication with all parties
- willing to assist the client with the process, and able to adapt to changes
- seeking a high level of outcome in the execution of the works
- overall, very capable of the challenging task of creating a well crafted architectural space that satisfies the high expectations of the contemporary market place.
We can also offer that the client is delighted with the outcome of the project. We would be pleased to work with Luke again or recommend them to others for similar projects works.

Dear Luke, thank you for all of your efforts in building our beautiful new beach home.

We were always able to discuss enhancements with you throughout the build. The attention to detail by you, and your team, ensured our new home is one that we are thrilled with. We would be happy to recommend you to anyone that wants a special home.

Mandy and I would like to thank you and your team for building us our dream home. Your passion and professionalism throughout this project has been awesome.
All your subbies were respectful, and their individual quality of work was superb.
To your own team, Jimmy, Dan, Matt, Burnsy – WOW, what great carpentry work they do!
Throughout the project, you were easy to work with and we appreciate the extra input you gave us in finishing and design.
We are so proud of our new Contemporary Farmhouse and look forward to many enjoyable days and long nights of entertainment in the future.
