Over the years hockingstuart Yarraville has sold many newly built homes although none quite compare to the quality, attention to detail & finishes by Nicon built. Having homes built like 116a The Avenue, Spotswood truly made our jobs as real estate agents easy.

I knew we struck gold when we contracted Nicon Built to build our new double story duplex homes. From start to finish Nicon Built provided us with a high level of service, attention and comfort. Our initial interaction with Nick was professional and he worked and shaped our ideas into the design - importantly he listened and after the second design draft we agreed on a start. Our beautiful homes where built on time and within our cost constraints. Nick and the team continue to provide support to us after the handover by making sure minor construction issues in the house are addressed quickly and

Nicon Built is a fantastic builder based in Port Phillip. They built our family home and we couldnt be happier. The workmanship and attention to detail really blew our mind. We made several changes and Nick the owner was always willing to accomodate my wifes and I requests. I cannot thank Nick enough and will definitely be telling our friends and family to choose and chat to Nicon Built if they are looking to build.
Fantastic experience. Thanks again

From the start of the renovation it was a stress free experience. Top quality service throughout and nothing was ever too hard. Dealing directly with the builders gave us the peace of mind we needed as first time renovators. We would highly recommend Nicon Built to anyone thinking of renovating/building. Thanks again Nicon!
