The final result cannot be faulted, an amazing house that will stand the test of time. To top it off Mark and Owen were so easy to deal with, they eagerly embraced our ideas and found solutions to any challenges along the way. Without question, we would highly recommend Arklen to anyone looking to build their dream home.
— BRIAN AND JUDI

Throughout the process would seek advice, which was always met with an honest answer and reasoning around the why and/or why not. Nothing seemed to be an issue, nor too hard. Each challenge met with gusto and a commitment to be done, always to ensure we were happy. Even to this day if we have queries, we know we can pick up the phone to the guys and they are always more than willing to help.
— EMMA AND BRETT BAKER

Mark encourages you to be as involved as you want to be in the build, is open to unique requests and is happy for you to freely visit the building site. Building with Arklen was a stress free, fun experience.
— PETER AND TEGWYN EDWARDS

It was great to see the mutual respect that the trades and Mark had for each other, and we could understand why Mark never seemed to have trouble getting people to site and completed our house on time, despite the challenges to the industry in 2021. The end result is a home that is built to incredible quality and a build experience that absolutely exceeded our expectations.
— DYLAN AND SAM

If you had asked us if we thought we could afford an award winning architecturally designed home on a tiny lot on our budget, we probably would have laughed and said you were joking. Arklen never thought we were joking. They listened, considered and delivered our gorgeous home.
