Home Restoration Services in Christchurch, Canterbury

“I consider myself fortunate to have had BDConstruction build my house. It was not without challenges...I had a limited budget and my section of land was extremely narrow. A clever design and quality craftsmanship meant these challenges were overcome. I now have a warm, comfortable, elegant house. The build was well planned and co-ordinated by my Project Manager. He kept me informed, gave me choices and problem solved around the limited budget. A commitment to quality work was always evident. It was good to move into my new home and find the builders had been very considerate toward my elderly neighbours. This is an aspect of BD Construction that stands out.....they respect other people.”

“MCAS has been working with Anthony from Smith and Sons Renovations & Extensions Port Hills on a number of residential alterations. We have recommended him to a client of ours for a house renovation and extension. The work has been carried out timely and in budget and Anthony proved again to have a proactive and cooperative approach.”

“Sam Fleetwood undertook to modernize and improve a 1970's wooden holiday home and also to create a fully equipped sleepout from a plain old shed. He had a clear understanding of what was required but was also able to suggest some very good, practical improvements. Bathrooms were added, layouts including stairs were altered, decks improved and the interior painted and exterior stained. Sam organized all the planning permissions and saw the project through very thoroughly. The result is a great success.”

“I have never seen anyone get more excited about a new building than the people of Redcliffs. I could barely get any work done! The story starts, as so many others in Christchurch, with earthquakes and demolition. The team at Young Architects has close ties to the neighbourhood, and was involved in the rebuild of the community library from the very beginning. They took up the challenge of designing an inviting public meeting space that reflects its community. From the red colour of the building to the gable construction reminiscent of the spines on a bookshelf, the library is a space Redcliffs is very proud of, as I soon learned. Since I happen to live down the road, I did more than my usual share of bullying the client into involving me. I knew the semi-translucent gable would be perfect for blue hour photography once finished. I got really excited picturing the final images in my mind's eye. When Greg Young and I finally toured the library, the degree of pride in the community was almost overwhelming. People stopped us repeatedly in the streets to tell their library stories, express how proud they are, and what a good guy Greg is. There were even a few hugs. While I was shooting the building a little while later, people repeatedly told me how happy they were with their new library. It was touching to see how connected everyone felt with this space. I hope the images will do the project justice.”

“We have worked with the team at Three Sixty Architecture on numerous projects and would have no hesitation in recommending them to any clients of ours. Their designs are distinctive, their drawings well detailed and accurate and they have a pragmatic approach which is valued by our team onsite.”

“I could not recommend the team at Coughlan Construction highly enough. We have had a number of building projects on our property and each has come with its own challenges. Right from the start they have delivered on their mission "the builder that listens". The Coughlan team have delivered on our high expectations of workmanship (including the sub contractors) and they have completed this all within budget. We have also 'changed the goal posts' on a number of occasions and Coughlan's had the flexibility, knowledge and adaptability to make things happen. The building team were thorough, tidy, professional and a pleasure to work with. A job well done.”

“Grant and his team work to the highest standards possible and their attention to detail is excellent. As another tradesman to be able to work with other contractors that care so much is brilliant as it makes everything so much easier. and the end result even more satisfying, for us and the homeowner.”

“We used S.C. Harris Builders to build our deck last November. There is nothing to say other than Sam is a very professional builder. There was nothing negative about this Builder. If we needed any more work we would call him immediately, He kept us up to date, always on time, and the job was finished well within the time frame he quoted. I would recommend anyone using this Co for their work.”
