I was highly impressed with the added benefits Green Edge brought to the discussions. The sustainable aspects they put into buildings can save money and help in the social responsible requirements in business these days.

Had the guys from Green edge do all the ground works for a large 12m x 6m garage/workshop project in Brunswick. A 100 year old adjoining wall, lots of layers of old concrete, demo of old building with asbestos being some of the challenges. Having a good relationship with their engineer and building surveyor certainly helped when an unstable party wall needed to be demolished and removed. Green edge have the capacity to get things done when unexpected challenges arise. Being an owner builder it was great to have Tysen and Aaron on side to get the project completed. I highly recommend the capable

Dear Aaron and Tysen
On behalf of Mick and myself I wish to take this opportunity to say how happy we are with our newly updated home and the standard of work carried out on our property. From the start to the finish you were professional and we were impressed with how you kept us up to date with all works. We finally come to the decision to rejuvenate our 30 year old tired home rather than sell and buy another. Due to our busy Lifestyles we made the decision to hand the project over to Green Edge and what a pleasant surprise. Rejuvenate you did. It is like a new home. We love
