What Our Clients Say

"I was so impressed by Caton Construction’s ability to handle our new home build project from start to finish. Not only did he explain every part of the process in simple terms, but he also made sure the project was completed with attention to detail. The quality of the construction is fantastic, and I’m thrilled with the final result. The communication was always open, transparent, and consistent, and the project stayed within budget, which is rare in this industry. I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out".

“We recently had an extension built, and from the beginning, Lachy was fantastic! He explained construction terms in language that made me and my wife feel comfortable to make choices we fully understood. The quality of the build is great, it looks fantastic and we can see the attention to detail in the final result. Everything was kept tidy during the build and it finished ahead of schedule and within budget too. I would definitely recommend him to anyone.”

Daniel T - Gymea
“Working on our extension with Lachlan from Caton Constructions was an absolute blast! He made the whole process feel like a team effort, walking us through every step and always making sure we were on the same page. The quality of his work is top-notch, and the attention to detail is something you rarely see. He stuck to the timeline and budget without a hitch—no surprises here! On top of that, he's super approachable and just a great person to work with. We couldn’t be happier with the final result and would highly recommend him to anyone in Southern Sydney!.”

Aaron S
I’ve worked with builders before, but none have been as approachable and transparent as Lachlan. He always made time for me if I had questions or concerns, and prioritized keeping me informed at each stage. Lachlan went above and beyond in the design stage, making sure I was happy with each choice and suggesting products that tied in with my coastal theme. The final product is stunning, with the highest quality finishes, and best of all it stayed within budget. I highly recommend using Caton for any projects, and will certainly be using them again for our next build.
