Comment from a client:

The house looks so fantastic!  We were so excited when we drove up on Saturday. Of course Lockwoods always look so clean and fresh with the cedar and white cladding, but our views are like gorgeous pictures through all the windows - it will be our dream bach.

Dear Michelle, Darren and Roger
Thank you all so much for the very nice gift basket!  It was such a lovely surprise to find it on the bench, and it was filled with very yummy things.  (It was all we could do to stop Jericho, 10, from wanting to scoff the lot! He was beside himself.)  Unfortunately, I have made serious in-roads into the chocolate. We are looking forward to cracking the wine up there on a sunny afternoon on the deck with cheese, crackers and chutney and drinking to your health.
 
You all said such kind things about working with us, but we have to say it was a real pleasure for us, too.  Michelle, you kept us up to date all the way through with amazing efficiency and went to great lengths to give us lots of choices and made the process really easy for us.  Roger, you quietly made sure everything happened as promised with great patience and a sense of humour. Darren, you worked tirelessly on our behalf with great diplomacy while supervising to the smallest detail.  Best of all, beyond all likelihood given really tight time constraints, you made it all happen so we could enjoy it for summer. And we have so enjoyed it and will do for many years to come.
 
We also enjoy showing off the benefits of Lockwood to all our visitors.  You have been highly recommended to many.  We'd happily do it all again with you in a trice.  I hope all your clients appreciate your attention to detail, service, efficiency and flexibility.
 
All the best to you all, and thank you again for making our dream into an excellent reality.
 
Shelley, Tony, Olympia and Jericho

To whom it may concern,

I purchased an Initial Homes Kitset through Roger Raymond. Roger arranged for me to spend a day working on a site where a similar kitset was being constructed, which was greatly appreciated.

Roger always responded promptly to any queries or problems that had arisen during the construction of my kitset. I am satisfied with the service Roger has provided.

Yours Faithfully

 Dear Roger:

I would like to thank you and your staff for the outstanding service your company provided to us in the Lockwood renovation of our Initial home. I greatly appreciated the advice that you gave us when we were considering subsequent changes. Your estimates of costings and timing of work to be performed were very helpful to us in making major renovating decisions and in avoiding the ‘unpleasant surprises’ that occur all too often in renovations.

Above all, I would like to compliment your team of carpenters, plumbers, electricians and HVAC specialists for their outstanding workmanship and the timely execution of their respective portions of the project. Their follow-up service has been excellent.

I would highly recommend Adstyle Homes and Lifestyle Holdings Ltd for any project management and building work.

Very truly yours

 We had always thought we would like a home finished in wood. The range of Lockwood designs was excellent and altering the plans to suit was not difficult.

This was a new experience for us and we learnt heaps. Roger kept us informed on what was going on all the time and communication between us and the builders was excellent. Living on site we got to know the builders well.

The sub contractors were of good quality and did their work on time when required. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole building experience and would definitely go through it all over again but don’t intend to for quite some time, as we do like the home that we have got, a modified Caribbean 3.

To whom it may concern

We have recently purchased a property from Roger Raymond. We have found Roger to be very honest, reliable and also very personable. As with all new properties there were a couple of 'teething' problems. We phoned Roger and these things were dealt with immediately and efficiently. The home is very comfortable, well built and finished. We are more than happy with all aspects of this purchase and with Roger's professionalism.

To whom it may concern

Our home was built by Roger Raymond of Lifestyle Holdings.

Our decision to purchase this particular home, was based on the evidence of skilled workmanship, the high standard of materials used and the quality fittings that went with the house.

We have also since been very impressed with the after sales service and in particular prompt attention to very minor faults which always occur in new housing. We have no hesitation in recommending Mr. Roger Raymond and his company Lifestyle Holdings to anyone contemplating purchasing one of his homes now or in the future.

Mr. Roger Raymond

Dear Roger Late last year we approached you to see if you could build an extension onto our Lockwood home. We had the plans drawn up and proceeded with all the formalities. After consent was given to go ahead by the council your company very quickly ordered all the building materials from Lockwood and started with our extension.

The work was carried out in a professional manner and the quality of materials used met our satisfaction. The extension to our home was originally not to be in the Lockwood style inside, but Gibbed walls. On your recommendation we decided to use the timber sarking to carry through and we are very pleased we did now. Our finished home is really something to be proud of and has added a lot of comfort and pleasure to our lives, not to mention value also.

Adstyle Homes Ltd has carried out the work to the highest of standards and we would not hesitate to recommend anyone building or renovating their home to use your company. Roger Raymond, I must add, you are of impassable integrity, not to mention your great sense of humour and it is a pleasure to do business with you.

Many thanks and all the best for the future

Dear Roger

I would like to compliment you and your workers for the great job you did in renovating my ensuite. It is brilliant, the best shower I have ever had. I must say I was impressed with the fact that you started the job when you said you would, which from my experience doesn't seem to happen too often these days.

Having paid several builders and plasterers etc. to fix the leak in my lounge I congratulate you on getting to the bottom of it and am pleased to say that throughout the awful weather we have had I've no sign of a leak which is a great relief to me.

I will certainly have no hesitation in recommending Lifestyle Homes to my friends and hope you will assist me in the future if I need any renovations or a new home.

We have recently purchased a townhouse from Lifestyle Holdings, and found their workmanship and services very satisfactory and have no complaints. Little backup services we have needed have been attended to promptly.

We would have no hesitation recommending them to friends and colleagues.

Mr. Roger Raymond
Lifestyle Holdings Limited Builders & Developers

Dear Mr. Raymond I am writing to thank you for the work you have recently completed on our bathroom. We were most impressed with both your workmanship and the professional finish which added up to a superior and well appreciated shower room.

It was a welcome surprise to have somebody do the work on time and to the standard which we required. My wife and I would most certainly recommend you to anybody contemplating alterations to their home as we are certain that even the most discerning home owner would approve of your work.

Well done!! Thank you once again from both of us
