"Gili Constructions carried out the renovation of our Prahran home and delivered a great build in record time and on budget. Rob and his team were lovely to deal with, showed great knowledge, technical skill and communication, and also identified some building issues from the previous builder and swiftly rectified and resolved the problem. I highly recommend Rob and the Gili Constructions team for any building works.”

"As an architect I've worked with Rob Gili of Gili Constructions for several years. His attention to detail and respect for the architecture are valuable assets in residential construction. He is extremely well organised too which ensures a smooth build. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him."

“We had the pleasure of working with Rob Gili and the team at Gili Constructions on this residential project in St Kilda. Rob and his entire team were courteous, professional and a genuine pleasure to work alongside throughout the project. Communication was excellent, with the Gili team maintaining clear and consistent communication with us during the construction phase and taking a collaborative approach to resolving issues and working through the details of the build. The team also took great care to listen to our client, understand his wishes and ensure that his needs and expectations were considered throughout the construction process. This client-focused approach was greatly appreciated and contributed to a positive experience for everyone involved. Rob and the team demonstrated a high level of care and pride in their work, along with a positive and solutions-focused attitude.

As architects, we particularly value working with builders who understand the importance of communication, collaboration and attention to detail, and Gili Constructions consistently demonstrated all three. We thoroughly enjoyed working with Rob and his team and would be very happy to work with Gili Constructions again on future projects.”

“I had the pleasure of collaborating with Rob on a residential project, and I can say without hesitation that the quality of the finished home owed as much to his expertise as it did to the design itself. As an architect, you rely on your builder to be more than just a contractor executing drawings. Rob brought a depth of construction knowledge that elevated the project at every stage; anticipating challenges, refining details, and ensuring the build integrity matched the design intent. His understanding of sustainable building practices was equally impressive; he actively contributed ideas that improved the home’s thermal performance, material efficiency, and long-term durability. What stood out most was his recognition that architect and builder share a single goal: delivering the best possible outcome for the client. He approached our working relationship as a genuine partnership, communicating openly and respecting the design vision while bringing the practical rigour needed to realise it properly. I would welcome the opportunity to work with him again and recommend him to any architect or client seeking a builder who truly understands that excellence in construction is a collaborative achievement.”
