    ““We would like to congratulate you on an excellent job from the day we first met you, to the day we moved into our new eHaus. The whole building process went exactly as you said it would. This has been our third experience building a new home, and Tim was rather skeptical about building an eHaus. However, after talking with Simon a couple of times, his mind was put at ease. The team you employed was second to none. We valued being a part of all decision making and we valued your attention to detail. Nothing was signed off until you were sure we were absolutely satisfied. We have been living in our new eHaus for five weeks now. Spring this year has had fluctuating temperatures. This was not the case in our eHaus. We have enjoyed clean, dry air and warm, even temperatures throughout the whole house. The high quality of materials used, especially the joinery, is greatly appreciated. We look forward to many happy years in our eHaus, and would definitely recommend SIMON PENN BUILDING to anyone thinking of building an eHaus.””
