“It’s a real pleasure to write a testimonial for H+M Builders. I highly recommend H+M Builders to anyone, their professionalism, attention to detail and relaxed approach made the whole building process a very rewarding experience. Nothing was ever an issue even though our project was a difficult architectural build that required a high level of skill and workmanship. H+M delivered in all areas thanks to excellent teamwork and detailed planning that ensured we got a quality result!
I wish Matt and Hamish the very best for the future and hope I get the opportunity to work with them again!”

“What a spectacular deck! I’m glad we had the time to let the plan evolve and make sure the changes were done with quality materials. We are so happy and we thank you both for your wonderful services. We look forward to completing the next stage of work”

“I want to commend the work done by H&M, not only in their excellent workmanship but also their organisation of the subcontractors in keeping the project moving with the least time wasted. I also want to comment on the way that day by day, and especially on completion, the worksite was left clean and tidy by all the participants and all the detritus removed causing as little disruption as possible.
Thanks again for your help in the planning and oversight of the project.”

“We are strong believers that the relationship between architect and builder is a collaborative one, the success of our designs into built form relies on this relationship. The team at H&M have been fantastic to collaborate with and as an architect their care and attention to detail is highly appreciated. The results speak volumes.”

“We used Matt and Hamish to undertake a renovation on our 1930’s villa and were very happy with the results.
They were both great at communicating. After sending them a scope of works, they visited our house to talk through exactly what we wanted done. They provided a very detailed quote which was itemized to the individual elements which allowed us to budget more effectively and actually see where our money was going. They always kept us up to date with what was happening and ran through what they’d done when we got back from work each day. 
Their quality of work was exceptional, with everything finished to a high standard and within the time frames they had initially outlined. They also made useful suggestions to changes to the plans, which made the house flow a lot better and  assisted us with varying our building consent when we changed our mind on cladding. 
During the work we were living at home and they tidied up each day and kept the house secure for us. 
They made the whole process easy and were very helpful. I would definitely recommend them.”
