Testimonials

As a family-run business, we offer a personalised touch and endeavour to bring your vision to life—beyond your expectations.

My experience with Thorne Constructions has been amazing from my first meeting with Kristina to a final site inspection by Nick.

Aaron was a fantastic project manager who was always accessible and flexible with my quirky requests! He has high expectations and great attention to detail!

The project was finished on budget and earlier than expected which meant I could open for trade a week earlier!

I would highly recommend Thorne constructions to anyone looking to do commercial or residential and I look forward to working with the team again when we do our home renovations.

We were extremely happy with the building process of the Thorne Constructions team, from the planning and design process of our renovation all the way through to the finishing touches and handover.

The process was seamless from start to finish with exceptional communication from project management to on site trades as well as design and selections. A high level of certainty with budgets and costings was extremely comforting throughout such a big investment. Best of all, nothing was ever too hard for the team who met all of our requests, additions or changes along the way with enthusiasm and without hesitation.

I am delighted with every aspect of this project. My family now has a beautiful addition and renovation which has added immeasurably to the quality of our lives. Thorne's highly professional and client engaged approach, the superb level of communication with architect and client, the high quality of the finishes, and the satisfactory out-turn of budget were exceptional.

Our experience with Thorne was stress free, fun and satisfying. I unreservedly recommend Thorne to my family and friends and anyone else.

Football South Australia has been fortunate to work with Thorne Constructions over the part three years and the experience has been exceptional. Thorne’s offer a unique experience from design to manufacture with the team being a pleasure to work with. A high level of attention to detail, open communication, no builder lead variations and timely delivery have been features of our working relationship. I would have no hesitation in recommending the team at Thorne Construction for any job large or small.
