Testimonials

As we move into an exciting future where sustainability and well-being intertwine
more than ever before, the ethos of our company stands firm: to pioneer in
residential construction, not just as builders of structures, but as guardians of healthy
living environments. At I-Smart, our commitment goes beyond just building a home; it
extends to crafting spaces that nurture and sustain, ensuring our legacy enriches the
lives of generations to come.

When we first met Brian, we were immediately struck by his professionalism, positive approach, problem solving and his attention to detail. Over the course of the build all of these attributes helped make the building process go smoothly. Brian was happy to address our constant questions and always ensured we were up to date with the progress of the build. He was ably assisted with a very professional group of staff and contractors who were polite, friendly and considerate. We have been more than satisfied with the quality of the build, and Brian and the team have turned our Architect’s visions into a reality that has exceeded our expectations. The team at ISmart have built an extension for us that is functional, sustainable and stylish. It is a testament to Brian and his team that, while many friends and acquaintances shared stories of difficult builds, we were able to say that our build was a very smooth, efficient one. It has been an absolute pleasure working with Brian and his fantastic team and we do not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a builder with a passion for quality and sustainability.

The ISmart team is an excellent group to work with. We built two other homes with project builders (one in NSW and another in WA) but the commitment to quality and engagement with our build shown by the ISmart team far surpasses these project builders. Brian and Dennis took time out to review our block of land before we purchased it and were then involved in all aspects of the development of design by the Luke Kellett team. We received sagely advice and thoughtful problems-solving along each stage of the building journey. Communications were always respectful and clear, with a careful eye to the budget to ensure that we kept within agreed parameters. The quality of workmanship was high as was the general level of inclusions. All team members were open to our questions about the most mundane or naïve items.  We were always able to work through any unclear areas with the minimum of fuss. We love living in our Certified Passive home. The personal, conscientious, and knowledgeable support we received from Brian and Dennis throughout all stages provided an excellent foundation for building our beautiful new home. Sincere thanks to all the guys including: Matt, Julian Trevor, Paul and others. We recommend ISmart unreservedly.

One of the best parts of the journey to building our home was finding the ISMART Building Group. The company’s principles ( and passion! ), in particular the Heat Recovery Ventilation System and the use of Timber frame were what we’d been searching for. As we journeyed through the process the experience was to reveal further principles – a group with integrity and honesty, committed and hard-working team members. As a result, the entire process was 99%  stress-free, our home was built beautifully and efficiently with excellent communication channels – so important for a client and builder relationship to work

We decided to go with Ismart as our Passive House Builder because of Brian’s experience, knowledge and passion to build sustainable and good quality homes.

From the outset, we wanted to build a certified Passive House Plus and considering Brian has built many certified Passive House projects in the past, it gave us confidence to build with Ismart. We wanted our forever home to be built with integrity and quality and this was achieved by the whole team.

We needed a bespoke builder that we could trust and rely on throughout the build and that’s what we got. Our supervisor was on site daily and was very accommodating with our requests. The tradesmen working for Ismart care about the quality of work they do and everything was completed to a high standard. Everyone in the Ismart team were all friendly and approachable.

We will be recommending Ismart to all of our friends, family and work colleagues. We hope everyone has the same positive experience we did.

We first met iSmart at the Perth Home Show. At the time, we weren’t exactly looking for PassiveHaus standards, but we knew we wanted our new build to have many of the features iSmart was offering such as timber frames, high energy efficiency, and pre-fabrication. So we decided to get a quote for our design.

Their costing estimate came back very competitive to conventional construction for a product that is technologically superior, and we decided to go ahead. We had been promised a quick turnaround, but were still very impressed to be able to move into our new house only 8 months after the concrete slab had been poured! Even more impressive considering they surprised us by achieving certified PassiveHaus standards! We have been in the house for almost 4 months now, and we couldn’t be happier.

Throughout the process, iSmart’s team was fully conversant on the technical details of their wall system and the overall thermal performance of buildings. They were always approachable, and their responses were consistently timely.

As in any home build project, there were a few hiccups along the way, but through it all, Brian and his team have been fully accountable for their part of the deal and issues have always been resolved to our satisfaction. So, to us, it only comes down to the question of whether we would build with iSmart again, and the answer is yes, absolutely!

Having never built a home before we were nervous about finding a builder. From our very first conversation with Brian, we knew that ISMART was the company we wanted to build with. He is very passionate and honest and very knowledgeable about the Passivhaus principles. From the outset, we knew we wanted a certified passive house and this is where Brian and the team’s experience shines through. And us being new to building, having people who are willing to explain the process, answer the many questions we had, and be very accommodating when we wanted to make a change, as well as adding their thoughts to make the house even better makes the process easy. What they can achieve without compromising the design outcomes is amazing. It is actually sad to have handover and not be dealing with the ISMART team on a regular basis as it was always such a pleasure to deal with them.

We said this was our forever home, but we would be more that willing to build with ISMART again.
