Meet the Team

Ben Sutton

DIRECTOR & Hardwood Enthusiast

To say Ben is passionate about building is an understatement. His love of timber and construction started during the early part of his apprenticeship with an award-winning Mackay builder specialising in classic Queenslanders. Moving on to work in different cities around Australia, Ben continued adding to his craft before settling in the fast-paced Eastern Suburbs of Sydney where he finally achieved his dream of setting up his own company focusing on high-end renovations and select commercial fit outs.  Ben’s friendly and approachable manner, together with a wealth of industry experience and a positive attitude, resulted in word of mouth recommendations from the Bondi & Eastern Suburbs communities that saw Sutton Built grow swiftly and successfully. Attention to detail and the desire to make every project run smoothly from start to finish makes Ben the ideal choice to bring your dreams to reality. Personally overseeing every job, he will be your ‘man on the ground’ to make sure your project lives up to your expectations.

Ilana Sutton

OFFICE MANAGER & Expert Multitasker

“Organisation” is Ilana’s middle name – that’s why she’s in charge of the paperwork!

While she keeps tabs on admin, Ben can keep doing what he does best – getting the job done!  Working behind the scenes Ilana will be busy making sure that the administration of your project is running smoothly. Rest assured your project will be in safe hands.

What our clients have to say

 

When it came to renovating my house, Ben and his team were my only choice. As a personal friend I knew how ethical, hard-working and passionate he was and it was a relief to have someone to turn to that I knew I could trust implicitly.

He was always full of unique ideas and came up with clever and affordable solutions to make all of my visions a reality, no matter how challenging. It helps immensely that he has a keen eye for design, has great taste and really understands how to achieve a high-end aesthetic – something that I hadn’t found with any of my past builders.

He’s a total perfectionist, absolutely meticulous and a consummate professional and it shows in the quality of his work. To this day people comment on my bathrooms and they look as good as the day they were finished.

Lucky you if you have the good fortune of working with him.

Georgia Bennett, Bondi Beach (Bathroom Renovation)

What our clients have to say

 

Ben Sutton and his team at Sutton Built managed a complete renovation of our three bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment in Woollahra, NSW in 2019. The original 1970’s apartment had good bones but needed a complete overhaul so bathrooms, kitchen, bedrooms and living areas were stripped back to the brickwork and new cabinetry, plumbing, electricals and joinery were required.

A significant challenge was remediation work for some areas of spalling which needed to be addressed in conjunction with other body corporate works. Ben’s solution was endorsed by the body corporate’s engineers and proved to be a quicker and more cost effective solution than originally considered.

The new look apartment exceeded our expectations once Ben and the team had worked their magic. The project was delivered on time and on budget. It is everything we hoped it would be and we can’t thank Ben enough for the work and the many kindnesses to us over the course of the project. Our thanks also extend to the terrific trades team Ben assembled. The tiler, cabinetry team, electricians, plumbers and painters were all first rate professionals who treated us, and our neighbours, with respect and consideration.

It’s not only us that appreciated Sutton Built’s approach to the project. At the Body Corporate Christmas party several neighbours, including the Chair, made a point of commenting on how good Ben had been in his various dealings with them.

Bob and I have no hesitation in recommending Ben and Sutton Built to future clients. He is a class act in every respect.

Sharon and Bob Collett, Woollahra (Full Unit Renovation)

What our clients have to say

 

We’ve used Sutton Built twice for tricky refurbishments in Art Deco spaces. Ben and the crew took charge of the project, helping to adjust a number of details for us that saved significant time and costs.

They cared about our renovation like it was their own, with all trades on a tight roster, and workarounds for all hurdles, keeping everything moving. They obviously have great knowledge of the industry and a thoughtfulness that lives on in their finished products.

Cheers as always Ben.

Pete Wood, Bondi Beach (Apartment Renovations)

What our clients have to say

 

Ben Sutton and his team at Sutton Built were a pleasure to work with, from the beginning of the process his attention to detail and complete dedication to the build was second to none.

It’s not often that you come across a builder with a strength in the design process and construction process.

We would recommend him to contacts and be happy to use him again if the opportunity arises. Working through changes and issues were always professionally actioned and no issue ever too large for Ben and his Team.

We thank you for your efforts and workmanship on Recoverie Coogee and look forward to working with you in the future.

Recoverie Management Team, Coogee (Wellness Centre and F45 Fit Out)

What our clients have to say

 

We have had the pleasure of working with Ben over the course of several stages of our home renovation.

Ben was there from day one and part of the collaborative vision to transform a dated and daggy house into something our family would love to live in. He did everything from internal demo and reconstruction to exterior decks and gates, to fine carpentry, with great professionalism and enthusiasm.

Ben’s passion for timber and carpentry came to the fore when he completed our beautiful 100 sqm deck and a meticulously detailed blackbutt kitchen island. Both of which became central  to the overall success of our renovation.

When he wasn’t on the tools he skilfully project managed our bathroom renovation, coordinating multiple trades.

One of the great things about working with Ben is his appreciation for design and desire to get the detail just right. He takes great pride in his work and always delivers a top notch result.

As well as being a masterful builder, he is also a supreme athlete, proud dad and all round excellent human to be around. We have no hesitation in recommending him for your next project. The only problem with Ben is that he no longer lives in the same state as us. Come back Ben, the next stage awaits!

Jo & Richard Swan, Bronte (Home Renovations and Outdoor Entertainment)

What our clients have to say

 

From start to finish Ben and his team at Sutton Built provided a fit-out building experience with honesty, integrity, and professionalism. At the start of this project I was worried about the extremely tight deadline I had given Ben over Christmas/NY period with a large job to be completed however without a single flaw our job was completed on time, perfectly executed and was the most seamless experience we have ever had! Not a single brush stroke or finish was missed.

Behind the scenes his administration team ensured I was across all quotes to be approved before any works took place and communication was incredibly appreciated. Highly recommended for all jobs big and small.

Slow House, Bondi (Wellness Centre Fit Out)

What our clients have to say

 

I can’t speak highly enough about the end-to-end professionalism, ongoing support and quality of delivery we received from Ben and the entire Sutton Built team throughout our project. From the first day we met to discuss our vision for the site – till the final day when keys were handed over; there wasn’t a detail missed, a problem that there wasn’t a solution for nor a challenge (and there were a lot) that couldn’t be overcome.

Ben was absolutely dedicated to making our vision a reality and consistently went above and beyond the call of duty to deliver and he did exactly that. I am looking forward to the next opportunity we have to work with Ben and the entire Sutton Built team… bravo!

Pilgrims, Bronte (Café Fit Out)

What our clients have to say

 

Ben and the team were an absolutely pleasure to work with. We presented a tight timeline and the team responded professionally, thoughtfully and most importantly helpfully all the way through. The outcome was just as anticipated and Ben went over and above in all areas to ensure the scope was met in full. A pleasure to work with.
