When building our new home in Christchurch recently, we contracted Dan Saunders. From our first meeting with Dan, we knew that he would be the right person to undertake our building project. First of all, Dan stood out for genuine approachability and customer relations.

Dan’s knowledge of the latest technology in relation to the construction for passive homes was important to us. Also, with regard to the excellence of his building staff, in particular the foreman, Ben Sole, and project manager, Kane Crossan, were standouts. All in all, we could not have had better people involved in the construction of our home.

When I built my house, I broke all the rules that say you must be present at every step of the building process, as the entire build was done while I was living in Sydney, unable to travel most of the time because of COVID. I count myself very lucky that I chose the right builders for the job. Dan, Kane and Ben and the team bent over backwards to make sure that the house was perfect. Ben took photos throughout the process and sent me weekly up-dates, so that I knew exactly what was going on at every stage of the development.

I was able to get back to Christchurch for the latter stages of the build and every person who has been working on the property has cared for it as if it was their own. They’ve been unfailingly courteous and helpful and just lovely to have around and their attention to detail has been amazing. I couldn’t be happier with my beautiful home and couldn’t recommend them all more highly.
