House Framing Services in Pakiri, Auckland

“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!”

“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”

“We employed Manly Construction after friends recommended them. We wanted to undertake an extensive renovation and doubling in size of our house. We obtained one other quote, but the estimated pricing was too open. Gareth (Manly Construction) was honest about our budget and the possible areas of over runs in a reno of this size. We continued to live downstairs whilst the house was extended over 2 more floors, 2 bedrooms 3 bathrooms, new kitchen and flooring, and a complete new roof. The team from Manly were always respectable and flexible with a family of four (and an attention demanding dog) living on site, and we always felt totally comfortable around all of the team, which we had not experienced with our 2 other builds with different builders. The weather wasn't always kind, but they worked through and took care of the parts of the house not being renovated. We were a particularly fussy client, especially living on site and inspecting work daily. We finished pretty much on schedule and overspent by the amount we were warned we could at the beginning, We changed the plans and detail more than once and this was never an issue. All council inspections were passed first time including the final. We ended up selling and moving after about 12 months and received lots of praise for the finish and quality. We would highly recommend Gareth and his team from Manly construction, and if he'd have us, we would use him again!”

“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!”

“Cain Built delivered a brilliant result on our property, which was a very complex build. A steep site and difficult access made it challenging. The finished product looks great and was done to a high standard. Would recommend this company for large scale new builds.”

“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.”

“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.”
