We used Main Layne for our recent Renovation and are very happy with the end product. Our beautiful home took 9 months to recreate with the renovation modifying all but one room in the house. Andy and Chrissy where great to work with, approachable and easy to talk to about my design ideas. They where both always available for consultations, discussions and any issues we had. We where included in the entire process from start to finish which was great for me as I had very particular ideas about what I wanted my home to look and feel like. Andy worked hard to give us exactly what we wanted. Finishes are impeccable and we are both very happy with our beautiful home. Even now on completion the builders are still in contact to make sure we are all happy with finishes and final touch ups. Very Happy and would recommend.

Main Layne have completed a couple of projects for me in the past year and have consistently been great to work with. Re-beaming to open up floorplan of part of ground floor was conducted on time and on budget, with all aspects handled professionally. Water damage to joist and load bearing wall resulted in urgent call out, Andy, Chrissy and their team were out straight away and had the repairs completed within days. Communication and reliability are strengths of Main Layne, their responsiveness and willingness to work with me through our projects from design considerations through to work execution has made the process a pleasure.

From the initial consultation with Andy and Chrissy right through to the end, the entire renovation journey was seamless and professional. Main Layne were not only highly skilled and experienced, but they also demonstrated a deep commitment to their craft and a genuine passion for their work. They approached every aspect of the renovation with meticulous attention to detail and a dedication to delivering the highest quality results. Their transparency and open communication made us feel confident and reassured throughout the renovation process, and their ability to think outside the box and find solutions to unexpected challenges was impressive. They took great pride in their work and it showed in every aspect of the renovation. They transformed our house into a beautiful, functional, and modern living space that exceeded our expectations and we would highly recommend them to anyone in need of renovation services.

When I first met Andy, I realised that some builders obviously do surf, and it’s a shame we have not yet got the Malibu’s out yet… that day will come. For now, I will say something about Andy and his team, and the terrific builders they are. I think it’s fair to say that Andy and his team are first class. His wide ranging experience, depth of thought and organic ideas came through in just about every easy-going and client-focussed discussion we had. Not only that, my wife and I are very different people, and Andy’s skill in working with us both, accomodating our ideas and how he managed to bring all that together was simply exceptional on his part. We couldn’t be happier with the result, and while unsolicited, our friends always ask “who was the builder?” and we have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Andy and his team at Main Layne Constructions!

We loved working with Andy and his team. They were knowledgeable and great to deal with. It's been a few years since they finished the renovations for our centre and visitors always comment on what a beautiful chapel they built.

From concept to completion Main Layne is first class. They've helped us twice now; firstly with in a tricky post-war Queenslander open plan kitchen/dining/living conversion which includes an engineered structural roofing solution. And secondly, with installing an oversized bi-fold door again involving a structural solution. Their process is no fuss, professional while keeping you engaged and well informed throughout. The finishes for both works are high quality and have transformed our home and lifestyle. Andy & Chrissy are great people and I highly recommend contacting them for a quote.

We contracted Main Layne for our deck Extension some years back and since then have used them for all our renovations on 2 properties. They were welcoming to our questions and assisted in the design of some ideas we had. Andy as the onsite 'Go-to' person was integral to the progression of the job onsite but his Partner Chrissy in the back end keeping all the correspondence flowing was perfect.

The experience has been memorable for all the right reasons and we will continue to use them, My wife and i would highly recommend Main Layne for Any renovations at all.

Andy went above and beyond when it came to designing and building our new kitchen. The end result was a beautiful functional kitchen. Andy was a pleasure to deal with and ensured we received the kitchen we wanted, always keeping our budget in mind.

Chrissie and Andy are amazing!! After entering the property market not long after the GFC, Chrissie and Andy have helped us improve the quality of homes in our portfolio. Their ability to transform the worse house on the best street into the best house has added value to our portfolio well before expectations. As investors in the lower end of the market Chrissie and Andy have helped us move into multiple areas of South East Queensland and continue to grow our portfolio with equity gained from increased value in our properties.

Main Layne renovated our family home in Southport in 2015. They were very customer-orientated, always on time, very tidy and they did a great job. We will work with them on our next renovation project too. We can only recommend Andy and his team at Main Layne Constructions.

Andy and the team at Main Layne are your go to one stop Builder. The whole project we were kept informed, we were told honest answers to all our questions and the knowledge that this team has is incredible. The price we were given NEVER changed!, we added items in which of course we expected to pay for and were reasonable, the quality of workmanship is superior and worth every cent to pay. They weren’t the cheapest price but I have no regrets and have had them back to do further renovations on our investment properties. Thanks Main Layne for your continued honest service.

I have worked with the Main Layne on several, varying projects over the years. From simple extensions and decks to full renovations and new builds. Each opportunity to work together has been met with enthusiasm as the key difference between this team and others is they think outside the box! They will never be the cheapest but you truly get what you pay for. A total price. Quality materials and people who will openly communicate with you.

Andy and team were very knowledgeable and efficient when it came to our renovation. All work was done in a timely manner in the utmost professional way. Being new to Brisbane, I found comfort in Main Layne and appreciated their honesty and great precision when it came to the finer details.

Andy, Chrissy and the boys from Main Layne did a great job with our house raise project. Andy was the only builder we met with that was interested in helping us save our old Queenslander within the budget we had. He offered us options and ideas not forthcoming from anyone else and delivered the end result on the exact day specified in the contract and for the exact quoted price. Not only are Andy and Chrissy great builders to work with, they are honest and genuinely really nice people. We are so please with the results and so pleased we found and chose Main Layne to take on our project. We would highly recommend.

Fantastic Construction people, I like the way the price doesn't change and they work in with you. I don't know the technical stuff but some how they understood what i wanted and made it really easy to understand. Increasing the value of a home was the priority as we didn't want to move. We wanted more natural light and more space, the cost was realistic and they worked around our schedule so there was minimum disturbance. They really put themselves our for us. I would use them again perhaps in a few years to work on the patio and pool, for now the extension front and back will keep us happy.

We wanted to renovate our 1993 3BR 1 Bath ground level brick veneer house into a 3 BR 2 Bath, Butler's Pantry c/w sink, media room and European laundry on the ground floor and a self-contained studio apartment in a new 2nd floor . From our first meeting with Main Layne (Andy & Chrissy), we felt they understood what we wanted. They quickly pointed out ways we could transform the house working with what was there. They connected us to people we needed for the design, engineering and certification. They worked with us to clarify any issues. All documentation including a detailed contract for the works was done quickly. Work started very quickly after approval. It soon became clear to us that the team from Main Layne held themselves to high standards of workmanship. As our project progressed, ideas flowed between ourselves and the team from Main Layne. Things that stood out were: (1) the use of quality insulation throughout the house keeping it cool in summer and warm in winter and reducing our energy costs; (2) the use of available roof space on the second floor studio as attic storage Issues, the unexpected in any renovation, were quickly resolved in the most cost effective way. Choosing interior furnishings, tiles and paint colours (inside and outside) was made easier with help given where possible. Our parapet carport is a prominent feature. Shading pergolas and raised garden beds at the front, back and side of the house create enjoyable outdoor spaces. A 10M2 fully insulated custom built shed with roller door completed our enjoyment of our back yard. A cleverly designed white powder coated aluminium slatted fence with electric car gates and a rebated pedestrian gate give us privacy while letting cool afternoon sea breezes flow thru. Selecting plants for our new garden was made easier with help given where possible. What started off as a daunting project for us ended up becoming a great experience working with the creative team from Main Layne.
