My 2 level 35 year old townhouse has 2 original membrane roofs I have been concerned about potential leaks along with rotten facial boards & a deck. I met Hamid on site where he confirmed the membrane was at end of life, but also the whole roof structure wasn’t built correctly. He also pointed out other issues such as flashings installed incorrectly & more rot in places I hadn’t noticed. The house was also due for a complete paint job as well. We then talked through all the options where Hamid gave an honest approximate cost for each item that needed attention & then his recommendation taking into consideration what was most economical for the customer e.g. scaffolding was needed to fix the roof where the bulk of the cost was to put the scaffolding up & pull it down, therefore utilizing this to attend to other issues & painting. In the end it made sense to attend to all issues & we agreed on a time & materials basis. What I really liked about this arrangement was that the weekly invoice was open & clear showing the makeup of the hours such as who did the work & when they clocked on / off, original invoices on material costs & Hamid’s agreed margin which we had a written master builders agreement on. In terms of the builders, James was my main contact. He turned up religiously each morning & always put in a solid days work which I witnessed many times when I worked from home. He was more than happy to answer any questions & I found him very communicative. I felt the apprentices also put in a solid days work & they all worked well as a team. In terms of workmanship, which lets face it, is the customers biggest concern, I was more than happy with the job which has absolutely transformed my place. Little details like the angles on the decks, balustrade design, covered corners where the weatherboards meet, sills added under the upstairs windows etc. I was so happy with the outside work & dealing with James that I asked if he could undertake replacing the toilet & vanity in the downstairs bathroom & re-tiling the floor where the existing vanity was taken out while I was away on holiday for 2 weeks. I came back to find James had completed the entire bathroom himself including the tiling & painting the whole room to an excellent standard – he is a man of many talents!! In terms of other tradies such as the painter, plumber, membrane installer, roofer & scaffolding company, every team was great to deal with & completed everything to a high standard. Hamid mentioned when we talked through the job that he had taken the time to find good “subbies” & build a good honest relationship with them which I can clearly see at the end of the job. I certainly found dealing with one person & having the reassurance that they had all the right contacts & was dealing with them directly meant the job went well & is certainly how I was left feeling. In summary, I would personally recommended the Your Builder team to any perspective client. Graham Epsom

Your.builder.co.nz were efficient and took pride in the wrok they did transforming almost half of our 1950's house into a modern, flowing, efficient and enjoyable place to live. What started as a kitchen renovation ably designed by Amanda Neill mushroomed and Hamid and his team were good at ensuring my additional wishes were considered and the practicalities covered. I was told when my dreams were impractical and I was listened to when I didn't like ideas. Delays were explained and various contractors coordinated (as much as was possible). We would use Hamid and his team again, if the need arose.

Your Builder have done a fantastic job on our house and we will definitely use them again in the future.

Your Builder completed a bathroom and deck renovation for us in early 2018. They also replaced posts and joists in the basement and constructed a nib wall to prevent water getting under the house. We found their builders to be professional, highly skilled, fast and extremely hard workers. They were very good at problem solving and a pleasure to deal with. The system of online communication also worked well and any concerns were swiftly dealt with. We are delighted with the end result.

As as interior designer we have worked alongside projects with Yourbuilder on many occasions. Their workmanship and attention to detail are top class and the level of communication between clients, designers and the build team results in smooth project delivery. I really love working with these guys.

As always a wonderful overall experience. Hard working team with work men who respect your home and deliver what you ask. I love my bathroom thanks again.

I can 100% recommend Hamid and his team. They recently undertook a partial reclad of our house and a bathroom renovation. Complete project management by Hamid made the whole process so easy and unstressful. Their friendly, approachable, completely transparent approach to everything from costs to timescales to best approach to the task made everything so manageable for us. Even when unexpected things turned up (like finding our piling had completely rotted away and so the house was effectively floating) their explanation of what needed to be done, upfront costs for the extra work and very fast fixing of the problem made what could have been a stressful situation easy. A couple of hiccups with sub contractors also occurred but Hamid's handling of the situation was great - he did all liaison and got them back to put things right straight away. We found their site management to be impeccable, their time keeping exemplary (the hours these guys work is humbling), and the online app for monitoring the job is a great added extra. All in all, a great experience and we will be recommending them to everyone.

Amazing service ! 5 star ! Having moved up from Christchurch I was in need of a new builder . I needed a new facade concreted and built at the entrance to my house and organised Hamids team to do the job . I was amazed at how fast and professionally the job was done , especially with the detailed and technical stainless finish that was specified . The boys were great to have around and very curtious giving me some great ideas as well ! I would not hesitate at all to put Hamids team forward for any job in the future and look forward to working with him again ! Cheers Hamish north shore
