Your Dream Home Starts Here

From concept to completion, we handle every step of your new build, ensuring a stress-free and exceptional experience.

A Stress-Free New Build Experience

Building a new home often comes with unexpected delays, budget overruns, and frustrating miscommunication between designers and builders.

At Gardo Group, we address these pain points with a seamless design-build process led by our expert team, Chris Gardner and Hannah Armstrong-Gardner.

Our Process

Neque porro quisquam est, qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit, sed quia non numquam eius modi tempora incidunt ut labore et dolore magnam aliquam quaerat voluptatem.

Initial Consultation & Site Visit

Chris and Hannah meet with you on-site to discuss your vision and review your plans. If you have your own architect, we ensure a collaborative approach, working closely with them to understand your design. If you don’t have an architect, Hannah is available to provide in-house architectural design services tailored to your needs.

Design Review & Customisation

If you’re working with Hannah, she’ll create a bespoke design that embodies your vision, while Chris provides practical insights to ensure buildability and cost-efficiency. If you’re bringing your own architect, Chris coordinates to align the construction approach with the design intent, ensuring a smooth integration between design and build.

Planning & Consent

We handle all necessary approvals and consent applications. Chris manages the construction planning and ensures everything is set for a seamless build, working in close coordination with either your architect or Hannah, depending on your chosen path.

Construction & Project Management

Chris leads the construction phase, with a strong emphasis on quality and attention to detail. Hannah remains involved, either as your chosen designer or by collaborating with your architect to make adjustments if needed. Our small, agile team ensures personalised service and a smooth experience throughout the build.

Completion & Handover

We finish by walking you through your new home, addressing any final details and ensuring your satisfaction. Whether you worked with Hannah or your own architect, our commitment to quality and personalised support continues long after you’ve moved in.

Testimonials

Our first new build after several full home renovations / DIY. Chris and his team were brilliant. The attention to detail was evident throughout. Things were explained at each step, and we were often given options (wrt budget choices). We have a house that we are really proud of. If we ever build new again, we will be with Gardo Group all the way. No hesitation recommending, not a single area of concern or complaint.
