Thank you very much for the great build

"We have been a year in our house! We are thoroughly enjoying the room and everything new. Thank you very much for the great build, the top quality workmanship is very evident a year on.
In hindsight , with such a prompt start date, it was a challenge to get all the subcontractors together but with your input and your good team it went like clockwork.
Thanks again and we will continue to recommend your firm to anyone that asks."

Capable, reliable, trustworthy

"We offered Kustom Build the opportunity to quote for our house build here in Ahipara.

Right from get go they showed enthusiasm by responding to us in person and then presenting their quote all within an impressive time frame.

We were impressed with the length of time it took to build our house. It was spoken about often amongst our friends and neighbors on how quickly the house was completed.

Sean’s project management skills enabled the job to run smoothly and efficiently with all the sub contractors knowing just when and where they are needed, they seem to have a mutual respect for getting the job done.

The team at Kustom Build were capable reliable trustworthy and a pleasure to have on board helping us create our dream to become reality.

"Sean and his team at Kustom Build have recently completed our new home in the Far North. We have been so pleased with the high standard and quality of workmanship of Sean and his team that we would like to recommend them to anyone considering taking on a builder. From an owners perspective we have found Sean runs a very well organised and hardworking team with whom he has a good relationship. The work carried out has been to a consistently high standard and carried out in an exceptionally professional and tidy manner. We found Sean and his team to be completely reliable, honest, and thoughtful. It is obvious that the team take great pride in their work and enjoy doing what they do.

Sean’s integrity, professionalism and skills are of the highest standard and surpassed our expectations. We would certainly employ him for any future projects; he would be number one on our list. We have no hesitation in recommending Kustom Builders to others."

It was a pleasure

"It was a pleasure to work with the team at Kustom Build. I found them to have fantastic communication and were very professional throughout the whole process. Many things would surface that needed attention, which were fixed in a friendly timely manner and still well within budget. Everyone was so helpful and courteous. We were so happy to receive our Code of Compliance from the Far North District Council. Sean (and the team) you have been so great, thanks so much for going over and beyond to help us meet our required deadlines and making it all happen. Would definitely recommend and use Kustom Build again on our next shed build."

Blanche Murray, Kai Ora Honey Ltd

On time and within budget

"We contracted Sean Frieling from Kustom Build to renovate our 1930’s bungalow adding on a 100m² extension which was no easy task! It required the tying in of old house with new, and Sean has mastered this perfectly. Sean always arrived on time and displayed an efficient business-like manner. Sean’s experience and skill meant that any challenges were easily overcome. We found Sean communicates well and shows respect. Kustom Build completed this project on time and within budget. I have been a contractor for 20 years and have worked on many building sites alongside various builders, but none compare with Sean’s neat, tidy and efficient manner in which he works. We have no hesitation in recommending Kustom Build as a registered builder.

Exceptional organisation and communication skills

"Sean and the team at Kustom Build were a pleasure to deal with. Sean is thorough and has a sharp eye for detail. He is very capable of project managing and was in charge of completing 2 x sheds 100m x 30m in size which was no easy task. He works with other subcontractors well and has exceptional organisation and communication skills. He was consistent with work and was always reliable and on time. I’m happy to recommend Kustom Build for any building project."

Fiona & Joe King, Elbury Holdings

Professional and trustworthy

"Kustom Build built my 3 bedroom, two bathroom dwelling; my three bay pole shed; and my double garage and self contained granny flat. Sean made me feel less stressed throughout the building process, as he was professional and trustworthy. All my buildings passed their building inspections and got CCC from the council without any issues. I would definitely use Kustom Build again and I would also recommend them to others to use as their builders."
