Charlie Li Great builder lots of attention to detail and problem solver would definitely engage again Neil Greenfield Clint as his team did a major renovation for us March - December 2023. We couldn't be happier with the final work and the journey to get there! The workmanship is outstanding. Clint is absolutely fantastic and can't do enough to exceed expectations. I was particularly impressed by the end-to-end communication. Of course there were little delays and issues, as there would be when navigating such a large multi-trade renovation - however, we were always briefed of situations in advance. We would absolutely recommend Clint and his team at Waddell Projects. Emily Luck We recently had the pleasure of working with Waddell Projects on the renovation of our bathroom, and we couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish, Clint and his team went above and beyond to bring our vision to life, tackling some complex structural changes in our 100-year-old worker's cottage with skill and precision. The communication throughout the project was absolutely fantastic. We were kept informed every step of the way, making what could have been a stressful process incredibly easy and smooth. Every trade involved was not only professional but also highly skilled, ensuring the highest quality workmanship at every stage. The end result is a stunning bathroom that has completely exceeded our expectations (the last picture is the before). It's not just beautiful but also functional and built to last. We are so grateful to Waddell Projects for their dedication, professionalism, and ability to turn our ideas into reality. If you're looking for a team that truly cares about their work and their clients, look no further. We highly recommend Waddell Projects! kelly Crawford Waddell projects exceeded expectations in all areas! Clint and the team are true professionals. Their communication, work ethic and professional skills would be hard to match. We were constantly kept informed of the project cost and there were no hidden surprises. Will definately engage Waddell Projects for our next development. Highly recommend!! Tara Darby We are so thankful to Waddell Projects for our recent renovation in Manly. Our cottage needed repairs, and creative ideas, to bring her up to modern standards. We also tackled significant challenges in supply chain shortages, thanks to COVID lockdowns. Working around these challenges required expert handling, and we are so thankful we had such a master on our side. Clint was able to navigate all these challenges seamlessly, and always with energy and positivity. He kept the renovation progressing, managed multiple trades, and quickly secured supplies that were all in high demand. The Waddell team were punctual, respectful, tidy, and the standards produced were exceptionally high. Thank you Clint and the Waddell Projects team - we absolutely love our home!
