Hi John It has been a year that we have had the pool house - just wanted to let you know that it continues to give us joy each day - we swam in it all through winter. Thanks for all of your expertise in building it. Jillian

Walvin Constructions recently renovated our post war home in Seven Hills (raise and build-in under). John and his entire team were incredibly hard working, professional, trustworthy and insightful. We engaged… Walvin Constructions for the initial feasibility study as well as design and build. Our new home is the ultimate mix of character, contemporary and practicality. Thanks guys for a stress free experience and for your thoughtfulness and attention to detail in every aspect. You have created an incredible family home for us.

Looking back now we wish we went through the entire process from drafting plans to building with John. We would highly recommend John to anyone wanting to build or do renovations their work is excellent!!! Thanks so much Bo, Kerry, Amelia & Evie
