We built our new home (completed in April 2021) using DA Burke's patented Designstone building system. We chose this because of its strength. I've seen a photo of a resort Burkes built in Kalbarri using Designstone and it was basically untouched by Cyclone Seroja while the building next door lost its roof and was extensively damaged.
Perth's winter cold fronts are no longer a cause for sleepless nights. The whole build process was very good with excellent communication. At each stage of the build they brought in cleaners so there was never any chance of rubbish being left to cause issues later

We used D.A Burke to build our house. We enjoyed working with Daryn, Matt and the team to help create a quality home on a budget that suited us. They worked with us to overcome the little obstacles that popped up during the building process. They always took the time to explain the process and what we needed to advance to the next stage of the build. We definitely recommend them if you want a fantastic building experience.

We built a new house with DA Burke in 2020 and from start to finish Daryn and Matt were excellent to work with. We chose to build because we wanted something special and decided to engage an architect rather than build something from a project builder. When we had finalised the designs we tendered them out to five boutique builders. From the preliminary quote until after completion, DA Burke have been amazing to work with. Of the five builders we tendered two only Daryn took the time to make suggestions about how we could reduce costs and improve our home. Their quote was highly competitive

We would highly recommend building with D.A. Burke. We recently completed our custom home build in Attadale with them and are thrilled with the results. The whole process was smooth from start to finish - the trades used were excellent, the site was kept tidy throughout, the project was delivered on time and there was always an open line of communication with Daryn, Matt and Rohan. The whole team was very professional, they clearly take pride in their work and want their clients to have a positive experience. We couldnt be happier!

We recently had our forever home built through D A Burke. After previously building with another company where we felt like just another number we decided we would like to go with a local company. When we first started going through the design phase Matt and Daryn completely understood our vision and everything we hoped for in a house whilst also being respectful of our budget. Throughout the build we made many phone calls and sent endless amounts of emails, sometimes just to ask a question or to make a change. Nothing was ever an issue for Daryn and Matt and they would always respond within a

Daryn & Matt Burke were absolutely fabulous to deal with. Very professional at all times. They say what they are going to do and follow through every time. Very easy to talk to and full of great advice to help you with your initial planning and design work. I would highly recommend the Burkes to anyone considering building.
