Rycon has just completed building a house for us which we absolutely love. The team at Rycon provided a comprehensive process and assistance from the start that enabled us to achieve what we wanted. At every step they worked with us from design, selection of materials, fixtures and fittings, construction, and landscaping. We had some unusual electrical wiring requirements and they handled these without any problems.What was very impressive was the quality of all aspects of the build and the team of very dedicated tradesman that work for them. This included preliminary consultations with key trades prior to construction, during construction and handover. Any issues were quickly and easily resolved.We can thoroughly recommend Rycon for anyone wanting a high quality and professional build.

We engaged Rycon after seeing one of their houses in our street. We found them to be very professional and attentive to detail. We are very happy with the end result and have already referred them to a family friend. The project ran on time and they were very accommodating. Great result!

After an exhaustive search we chose to design and build our home with Rycon Building Group because of the great feeling we had during our first meeting with Ryan. From our first meeting to handover, the whole experience has been nothing …

We have just built our 2nd custom home with Rycon Building Group and their quality of work, attention to detail and professionalism is 2nd to none. Nothing is too hard for them and they will help you bring your dream home to life. We didnt even consider another builder and turned to them for a second time to build our dream Hamptons style home. Ryan is great to deal with and his team share his same passion for helping their clients and going above and beyond. If you want a cheap builder then look elswhere. If quality is what you want don't look any further than Rycon and you won't be disappointed. Custom design your own dream and Rycon will bring it to life. I will definetely be back for a third time if we ever build again.

We recently built a contemporary home with Rycon and are very happy with all the finishes and quality of work. The process was stress free and we really enjoyed working with Ryan’s team including Amanda, Chris, Daniel and Kim. They are very knowledgeable and provided great advice. We recommend Rycon and would definitely use them again.

We recently built with Rycon. The team are amazing! From the moment you meet the owner Ryan, you notice how passionate he is about his business and how will make himself available anytime you need guidance throughout the building process. The pre-construction team are lovely and they supported us along the way with every decision that needed to be made. Their project manager, site manager and amazing tradies made the build process easy for us. The advice and guidance that they gave along the way, the quality of their finishes, their communication style and genuine care were outstanding. We love our new home and I love watching people stop and look at it and take photos! Thanks a million team Rycon! 😀

We have recently completed our “forever home” with Rycon.From the first interaction (site selection and planning) through to the completion and handover, Rycon was helpful, supportive, informative and made the process easier and more stressfree than we ever could have hoped or imagined. No request we ever too difficult and we really valued some of the design “tweaks” that Rycon recommended along the way.All of the Rycon staff were easy to work with, had an attention to detail and were clearly very good at their respective roles. In addition, all of the Rycon on-site trades were polite, friendly and respectful, something that a number of our new neighbours have commented on.We are absolutely loving everything about our new home and are incredibly grateful to Rycon for helping bringing it to reality. Should we ever build again, Rycon would definitely be our first port of call.

We engaged Rycon to build two dwellings for us in Boronia a number of years ago, and were very happy with the project. It is no surprise that over the years Rycon has grown into a larger, thoroughly professional building organisation, with its continuing strong emphasis on building quality and client satisfaction.
