Andrew and the team at Lou Projects have completely transformed what was a very unused and wasted space, in to our new outdoor living area/deck and we couldn't be happier!! They have also completely transformed our old brick exterior in to a more modern look with cladding. Whilst we had some ideas on our plans, the team were really able to further this with their own suggestions along the way! The team have been very professional throughout the whole process, and have a friendly and tidy manner - we looked forward to having a chat with them each day. Everyone in our street is still commenting

We renovated part of our family home with Lou Projects and were blown away with the level of innovation and quality of craftsmanship. Their eco-friendly philosophy, built-to-last mentality and understanding of contemporary design left us immediately impressed. A high level of thoughtfulness and skill was evident in the smallest of details. The teams accuracy, precision, and appreciation for beauty has made all the difference. In the bathroom, every tile was carefully planned in accordance to tap-ware, fixtures, and layout. Andrew made small suggestions on things like windows, exterior

My husband and I purchased a Lou Projects built home in December 2019. The Killara House oozed sophiscation and class. No expense was spared when this house was built and this is throughout the whole residence, from the incredible front door made of the most beautiful recycled hardwood materials to the finer details like the handmade blush pink stone basins in the bathrooms. The open plan living is incredible not to mention all the sustainability elements that this house has to offer. My husband and I had a very long list of what our first home (not property) had to have and this house honestly

I built my first home with Andrew and the team at Lou projects. Everything about their design and process dovetailed seamlessly into my own ethos. From the ethically sourced materials to the intricacies of every low environmental impact design element, it truely is a privilege having a builder like this at our finger tips. A team living concisely, promoting intelligent design and executing their craft in style. I urge you to consider reaching out to them for your next project, you will not be disappointed.

For over two years we struggled to find a builder who would help us realise our dream for our home. Many found the task too daunting and just said no, others never got back to us but Andrew from Lou Projects was enthusiastic, organised and visionary. Importantly, he was always ready to listen to us and readjust accordingly. The quality of the build is second to none. Andrew spent many hours seeking out first class materials for the various jobs, consulting with other tradesman for ideas and best practice and obtaining all the correct paperwork for council requirements. We are both considerably
