Client Testimonials

Ben Stewart-Koster - Highgate Hill

I was really happy with the bathroom and living room renovations we had done by Zou Build. Chris kept in touch throughout the job, making sure I knew what was happening each step the way. And most importantly, the quality of the work is first rate. We contacted Chris from a personal recommendation from a previous customer of his and I'm not at all surprised he keeps getting work this way.

Jessica Goddard - Cannon Hill

Chris and Andrew from Zou Build did an outstanding job of transforming our original 1950s bathroom into a room we love. Chris and his team are prompt, communicate well and left the place very tidy. Everything is finished beautifully and is fully functioning. Would hire them again without a second thought.

Renai Hine - New Farm

Chris from Zou Build completely renovated my bathroom from top to bottom. From removing and installing the new basin, shower and toilet as well as new pipes for hot water. So far everything is working perfectly and I have faith that this will continue. In addition to this the tiling of the walls and floors has been completed beautifully, it was clear to me that the guys from Zou Build take pride in their work. I would definitely recommend them.

Leanne Saunders - Bardon

I would highly recommend the team at Zou Build. Their work was to a very high standard and they were professional in every way. They showed up on time, they did what they said they were going to do (and did it well) and they cleaned up after themselves. Chris was also very flexible - if we wanted to change anything he was prepared to work with us to make it happen. Finally, they were very reasonable in terms of cost.

While they were doing the original job we found more work for them to do while they were here (this is clearly a great endorsement of their work). Chris quoted for each job so we knew what it would cost before each project started.

I couldn’t have been happier and I look forward to working with the boys again in the future when we start our next renovation project.

Faraz Rameshni - Carina Heights

There are five main qualities that I look for in people I work with: skill, honesty, accessibility, flexibility and ability to communicate clearly. In working with Zou Build, I have experienced all of these qualities first-hand through Chris and his team. I always knew what was happening, when it would happen and how much it would cost.

Whenever I had questions or requests, Chris was always quick to talk me through the ins and outs of every scenario and provide me with different options and advice. I'm very happy with the end result of Zou Build's work and look forward to working with them again in the future.

Suzane Cadigan

We are very happy we chose Zou Build. Their workmanship and attention to detail was spot on and the whole process ran smoothly from start to finish. Chris and Christal are very professional and we will definitely be hiring them for our future projects.

Adam Hightower

We had a challenging job, relocating a 100yr old Queenslander to a rural block, modernising it and meeting today's building codes. Zou Build did an outstanding job meeting our tight deadlines and out of the box requests.

Their service, knowledge and professionalism were always impressive. I highly recommend Zou Build.
