vandeGeest Building ltd

We have recently moved into a home built by vandeGeest Building ltd. From the start of the project to the completed home we found Dave to be a professional businessman, honest and clear about what was happening and when. He was available throughout the build to answer any queries we had and to action any variations that we requested. We found working with all the contractors -architect, kitchen, plumbing, electrician, concrete etc easy and able to fulfill our requests. The build was completed within the expected time frame and there were no hidden costs or surprises associated with project. The end result is a home that we are really happy with and has been built to a very high standard. We know that Dave is proud of having built this home.

Prior to working with Dave and his team, I interviewed many building companies as I wanted to get a good read of pricing and who would be the best company to work with me to complete the project in mind. I felt that Dave was extremely professional, honest and very helpful when it came to adjusting my building plans to get the most of of my section space and also the house we built. During the building process Dave was always available and gave me plenty of updates on the progress of the house which was very helpful as I was not always able to check in with home weekly. The price and quality of service provided far exceeded those of the other companies I originally approached and more importantly, Dave completed the build ahead of Schedule which was a huge plus. I am very happy with the finished product and I will certainly be contacting Dave and the team at vandeGeest Building when Im ready to build the next home. I have no hesitation in recommending David and the team in the future. Jonathan Rea

I have worked with Vandegeest Building Ltd on numerous projects, both as a commercial project manager completing large volumes of residential builds in Canterbury, and also with myself as the client with Dave and his team completing my own house renovations on a high end villa restoration in Merivale and our holiday home in Akaroa. I have worked with a lot of builders on various developments over the last 20 years and can genuinely endorse Vandegeest Building as my preferred builder of choice. They are an exceptionally well run company, honest, reliable, brilliant workmanship with consistently excellent customer service and communication.

I had never built before and have found the progress working with Dave fantastic and so easy. I couldn't be more pleased with my new home. Dave ensured that I got everything within my budget and was flexible about any changes I wanted. Dave was always available and kept me update to date with progress of the build by sending photos, emails and phone calls. The trade people Dave worked with were professional and provided advice and I was able to be as involved as I wanted. My house was finished on time and I love living in it. I couldn’t recommend Dave and his team highly enough.

“We were told that building a new home can be one of the most stressful things in life…David and his team went out of their way to make our build an enjoyable experience. It was important to us that we felt we were part of the build and not just looking on, from day dot David involved us in the decision making and kept us well informed of happenings. David always had an open mind to new ideas and is a willing listener, this allowed us to implant our finger print on the outcome. David’s support network of trades meant we were able to obtain true value. We’re very proud of the result and from our first day living here it felt like a real home
