iArchitecture - simon irwin, Director & Architect
"We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Troy and the Durant Team. As an architect, I have worked with them over the past seven years to bring a number of our projects to life, and their work has been outstanding.
Their craftsmanship and attention to detail are second to none. Throughout every project, they kept us fully informed and involved in all key decisions. Whenever challenges arose, they communicated early and clearly, proactively bringing solutions to the table.
They were always accommodating with our queries and design changes. Furthermore, their subcontractors were excellent; Troy's exceptional planning and organization ensured perfect scheduling while maintaining a clean, safe site at all times."

Troy seems to attract tradespeople who are enjoyable to work with. He is pro-active about problem solving and design solutions and above all he always operates with great integrity”.
The Scots College Bannockburn, Wollumboola
"I cannot recommend Durant Building highly enough. They recently completed a multi-purpose education building for us, designed specifically to support dynamic teaching and learning, and the end result is exceptional.
From day one, their communication was proactive, clear, and consistent, making the entire construction process smooth and transparent. The craftsmanship and overall quality of the finish are outstanding, reflecting a true eye for detail across every aspect of the build. It was clear that Troy holds his subcontractors to the same exceptionally high standards he maintains, as every trade on site was professional, skilled, and reliable.
Importantly for a project of this nature, they delivered it on time and on budget.
If you are looking for a builder who delivers high-calibre craftsmanship, operates with integrity, and manages a project seamlessly from start to finish, look no further than Durant." - Nathan
The marina, culburra beach
“We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Troy and the Durant BDM team to other owners. They built our custom, architect-designed holiday home at Culburra Beach, and the result is exactly what we hoped for.
This was a difficult build on a sand dune, and Durant handled the challenges with real skill and care. The project was completed on time and on budget, which is a credit to the planning and discipline Troy brings to every job.
Troy owns the business, yet he remains on the tools to make sure the work meets his own high standards. That hands-on approach made a real difference. He took a personal interest in how the home would turn out, and when difficult decisions came up, they were addressed promptly, with our outcome always at the forefront. The relationship Troy developed with the architect was a key to delivering the overall outcome we wanted.
Troy has an excellent team and works only with the best contractors, and the quality showed in every stage of the build. Even after the job was completed, he stayed in touch to ensure everything continued to meet the standard he set from the start, which is rare in the building industry. Durant keeps a clean worksite, which our neighbours appreciated, and Troy's policy of "no work boots" inside the house during finishing helps ensure high-quality outcomes.
If you want a builder who is as invested in your home as we are, we highly recommend Durant BDM. - David

“Troy and his team at Durant Building are brilliant. They rebuilt our home in Randwick ahead of schedule, on budget and to the highest quality. Troy is a hands-on builder who was always available and on-site making sure the build is up to his very high standards. Most importantly, 8 years after handing over the house there are no defects and my family is extremely happy with the beautiful house we live in.” - Brad

“Working with Troy and his team on the renovation of our home in Randwick was a pleasure. They were at all times professional, flexible and anticipated any issues or questions on our part with full assurance and confidence. The whole building process was very transparent and Troy produced many practical ideas that would suit the lifestyle of our young family. Overall they had fantastic vision and creativity, on top of excellent skills across all trades, and more than realised our architect's drawings - they made a beautiful home and brought it too life.” - Doug & Kristina
Smithfield Ave, coogee
“Our experience working with Troy was an extremely positive one. From our first meeting, Troy impressed us with his passion for building and enthusiasm for our project. The building process itself was conducted in an extremely professional manner. Troy clearly communicated to us on the progress of the project, the status of the budget and the timeline. We cannot speak highly enough of Troy and his team.” - Stephen
Lilyfield Road, Lilyfield
“Troy demonstrated from the onset a positive attitude and a good understanding of the design direction and supported the design vision throughout the construction process. He was proactive and committed to realising the high quality expectations that this particular design demanded. We were also highly appreciative of Troy’s consistent hands-on approach and full-time presence on site during the base-building phase. The site was challenging however Troy resolved the complexities of the project and problems encountered along whilst maintaining his enthusiasm throughout. I am most happy to recommend Troy and his team for other projects.” - Angela
Australia Street, Newtown
“We hired Troy and his team at Durant BDM to renovate our terrace in Newtown. The project took around 8-9 months to complete and was substantial and quite technical in parts. Troy and the team were absolutely wonderful. Responsive, professional, and simply great builders, they were also willing to contribute their own thoughts on design and what might work best, while also working with our architect. We highly recommend the team at Durant BDM to anyone looking for a builder.” - Jason

The tradies he uses work to a very high standard too. His prices are reasonable and he completes the jobs within the time frame needed. I would strongly recommend him.” - Georgina
