TESTIMONIALS

"We spent so much time researching builders - about 5 months. We then heard about Thorne Group and went and checked out one of their new builds - we were so impressed. My husband said there was no way, being first home buyers, that we could go with Thorne Group. In the end we decided to just go and have a talk to them to see what they could offer us. And it turns out it was the perfect fit."

​Mike & Becca

"From the masterful design and then through into conception we had a seamless build process which was anything but stressful. I love the fact it is a family run business where we are treated like people and not just another number. I would definitely build with Thorne Group again as they are a superb team."

Fran

"The Thorne Group and their partners exemplify professionalism and excellence. Family values of respect, reliability, courtesy and trustworthiness hold them steadfast in the building industry backed by many awards and let’s not forget awarded collaborations – happily work with them again they are an organisation we have confidence in! Keep up the modesty and humility and continue to be the best!"
