"I have been the structural engineer for many of the projects for which [James] O’Shea was the project supervisor. James has always demonstrated a sound knowledge of the building industry and construction techniques. He has a good understanding of the Building Code and Australian Standards related to the construction industry. I have always been particularly impressed with the finished product produced by James and his attention to detail.

On a personal level I have always found James to be an approachable person with a strong sense of commitment to his work. In my dealings with him I have found him to be honest, courteous and punctual. I have no hesitation in recommending James O’Shea."

"I found Joscon’s website via Google. Prominent on this website was the Sorrento house they were extensively involved in building, including winning the HIA award for House of the Year 2011 (Vic). This gave me a basic level of confidence in Joscon’s capacity to be involved in constructing my home. I contacted the developer of this property to obtain a reference for Joscon. The discussion with the developer was very positive and gave me a good feeling for progressing with Joscon. My initial engagement with James was friendly and helpful. He came across as knowledgeable.

Having...reached the end of my first owner builder experience, I can make the following statements regarding James O’Shea and the Joscon team. While no complicated and design oriented project would be without challenges, in summary, my experience with the Joscon team, and James in particular, was excellent. I look back on my project with some amazement. It could have gone very badly wrong. Ultimately the decision to go with Joscon has been rewarded with a great experience, and achieving what is a unique home with great workmanship.

I have no hesitation in recommending James and the Joscon team for any major building project requiring fine carpentry and general building skills."

"I first met James O’Shea late in November 2009. I have worked closely with him since then to the present day. The homes he has built form part of an exclusive eight home luxury residential precinct. The detailing and finishes of these homes are exacting." Comments from buyers and prospective buyers are highly complimentary about the finished product, James’ workmanship and his attention to detail.

James is an energized, positive and...continues to perform beyond my expectations, and especially so when difficulties are encountered, as they so often do in the building game."
