CLIENT TESTIMONIAL

Without the help of an architect or a project manager Lee and I bit the bullet and engaged a couple of energetic Aussie Dutchmen and their Great Bear Log Homes team from Mansfield to design and construct a home for us in North-East Victoria.

What a ride it was - and at the end of the day we are in a house which, thanks to the Great Bear Log Homes team and all the other trades people involved, has exceeded our expectations!

Despite the many meetings we had to discuss the project we can honestly say that we did not fully understand the craftsmanship involved in putting together our little gem.

We were particularly pleased with the calmness, the care and the attention to detail that you both brought to the project.

You accommodated and encouraged our desire to incorporate into the design a variety of Victorian, Edwardian and Art Deco windows and doors internally and externally and an imported Italian tiled roof without batting an eye. We have no doubt these features have enhanced what was already a fantastic design. As one keen observer said on introducing himself – “so you are the people who put up that awesome machine on the hill”.

Thank you once again. We have not tired yet of turning into the drive and saying “Look at that terrific house – weren’t we smart to get Louis and Cornel to build our log home!”

Yours sincerely

Their work is of the highest quality possible and most important of all is that they are true to their word. They stand by their work and are professional in every respect.

Great Bear Testimonial from Garibaldi

A few years ago we were keen to build a log home and Great Bear were recommended to us. As our plans involved a large number of windows we felt that it would be a shame to have to cut out such large portions of the exterior walls, so we took the somewhat unusual course and decided to build our home with the main interior walls of log. The guys hadn’t actually done this before, but didn’t hesitate to take on the challenge. Another first was that they used larger logs than they have ever used before. As it is a large house, the big logs suited it perfectly, so that the “scale” is right. We were very impressed with the craftsmanship of Great Bear and the guys worked very well together as a team, and it all went in like clockwork.

It was all very exciting to see the log truck coming up the road to our place and up our (rather steep) driveway. They arrived at night and it was foggy next morning, so it was a bit eerie waking up to see a massive truck full of beautifully smooth logs of different shapes and sizes. Our house isn’t quite completed yet, but the other main components have fitted in perfectly and we are very happy with the result. Cornel & Louis are very professional and we would have no hesitation recommending their company to build your dream home.
