Featured Reviews for Home Builders

Customkit Buildings Limited

Home Builders

20 October 2015

“We have recently built a house in the Wairarapa NZ using Customkit Buildings Ltd as the designer and supplier of materials to lock-up stage. At all times we found Customkit to be thoroughly professional but also caring and interested in our project. At no time did they view it as just another job, they were engaged and interested in the build from the initial concept meetings until the house was totally finished. I felt they were as proud of the end product as we were. Many members of the team have been to visit, no small undertaking considering the site is about 650k from their base. We love our house and we loved all aspects of the build , and we certainly feel Customkit played the major part in making our dream come true. Carolyn & Rick Thompson”

Refresh Renovations

Home Builders

28 January 2020

“Our Tile Business (The TIle Depot) have been a partner with Refresh Renovations NZ for the last four years and we have enjoyed building our relationship with the NZ franchisees and Head Office team. The Refresh team have always been innovative with their approach to marketing and happy to help include partners like us with any new opportunity. A highlight has been hosting a few successful bathroom seminars with Refresh to educate customers on bathroom trends, tiling and how to have a smooth renovation experience. Looking forward to seeing what this year brings!”

Nick Bosanac Builders

Home Builders

17 February 2016

“Nick Bosanac Builders is a very high-quailty builder. Nick and his team show up on time, get the job done and don't settle for less than the highest quality work from their team and their contractors. The house that Nick built for my mum is elegant, beautiful and practical. His attention to detail shows on every surface, every corner and every function. He also worked with me when issues with dealing with trees on our property came up unexpectedly. He came up with a solution that fitted everyone involved. I doubt another builder would have worked with us with so much respect.”

kit-Markin homes LTD

Home Builders

24 October 2019

“Kit Markin built me a deck and pergola surrounded by raised panters and have extended two rooms in my house. The fact that they've now done two jobs for me speaks volumes and there is more to do - and Kit Markin will be doing it. They originally took over the deck from a firm which let me down and sorted the problems and finished the deck to a higher spec than I suspect the first firm would have managed. The rooms renovation has gone seamlessly - other than when trades took longer than expected, but only for a week or so - and the result is perfect. I have no hesitation in recommending Josh and his firm unreservedly and I shall be using them again for a further renovation project in the new year.”

Allwood Manning Limited

Home Builders

13 April 2020

“Highly recommend! John and the team at Allwood Manning have delivered a number of projects for me and my family members over the years. All of which were completed on time and within budget. John's extensive industry experience promotes complete confidence and assurance the job is getting done right and over and above the standard. Allwood Manning are honest, efficient, schedule focused and I would no doubt use their service again.”

“We have worked with Refresh Renovations Manawatu on numerous renovation projects. We find Wayne and his staff very easy to deal with. They are one of the most organised renovation companies that we deal with, they always make sure the job is done well and that the customer is happy. Darren Pettersson”

Alpha 1 Builders

Home Builders

10 July 2017

“In 2009 I purchased a 2 bedroom 30 year old Brick and Tile house north facing on the shores of the Panmure Lagoon. Unbeknownst to me at the time it had won house of the year when constructed all those years before! After living, (and as you do planning), in it a few years, I engaged Alpha 1 Builders carry out the extensive renovations which incorporated ; opening the house out, create two new levels and completely upgrade the house and fittings. All that was left after one week were the external walls. Wrapped in plastic the work began in earnest. Paul's attention to detail and planning meant the build was completed on time and on budget. Of course things changed during the build as they do, but this was made easy by the professional and trademan like care taken by all his staff. Alterations by myself to the original specifications were costed and approved before work was carried out so I never felt concern that the project was running away on me. When Paul suggested that he enter it in house of the year I was enthusiastic and then overjoyed to receive a gold medal. The finished product is a 4 Bedroom easy flowing house with three bathrooms, an enormous rumpus/theater room and open plan Kitchen/Dining and lounge area, opening onto a sweeping sun-drenched deck that displays unobstructed views of the water. Now after three years of living in our house we still enjoy it everyday and find it works well and flows naturally. It's not unusual to sit on one of the superb north facing decks sipping a Flat White gazing out over the waters and pondering the choice of going to work or,,, having another!”

Refresh Renovations Auckland Central MJ

Home Builders

9 July 2019

“MJ was hired to project manage 2 bathroom renovations for us and a new brick pathway for the front of our house. He was always prompt, reliable, helped us keep within budget and he is extremely cheerful. Always made sure work was done to a high standard.”

Golder Residential Ltd

Home Builders

28 February 2018

“A reclad project is a job that few home-owners really want to undertake. Steve and his team were a delight to work with and transformed our house into a home we are really proud of. We get regular comments on how well the finished job looks. Steve saw the tricky issues long before we did and was able to give us appropriate recommendations for those unforeseen problems. Steve's recommendations on sub-trades, material selection and his ability to talk to us at our level made us feel that our input was always welcome. We are looking forward to working with Steve on our next project soon! Anyone that needs an honest, reliable master craftsman in charge of their project need look no further.”

What kind of builder do you need?

Apart from finding a builder who is reliable and local to you, there’s a few other things you want to consider. If you’re after a prefab home design, a design and construction company may be the better choice. If you’re doing small general renovation works like installing doors or floors, a general builder will be sufficient. Once you move to more complicated projects like renovating a whole house, adding an extension or a second storey, or working on a heritage building, looking for a specialist may be the way to go. They would have worked on projects like yours before and know the common pitfalls. For example, someone who specialises in extensions will be able to foresee challenges you will face, and can help you plan and budget in the most efficient way possible.

Find the right tradie for your home renovation project

There’s a few ways you can go about finding the specialised builder you need. Referrals from friends, family, or even your architect or draftsperson are a good place to start. If you don’t have those, have a scroll through the profiles below and read reviews from other Houzz users. Check out previous renovations and builds they have completed and find ones similar to what you’re planning to build. Once you find a few candidates whose projects you like, reach out and have a chat. Building or renovating a house is no small feat and often takes over a year to complete, so you want to make sure you’re working with someone you get along with!

Ensure the process runs smoothly

Once you have a quote, make sure you understand what is and isn’t included, and that both you and your builder understand any drawings you may have provided. You also always want to double-check that the builder you’re looking at is licensed in your state, e.g. by NSW Fair Trading.

If you’re having trouble finding someone, Houzz offers a handy wizard to match you with home builders, so you always have another option.
