"Ezra Clark and his team from Lone Kauri Construction completed an extensive renovation of our Californian bungalow during 2013.
Being 'reno' newbies we were pretty apprehensive about the whole thing but we couldn't have picked a better team to work with.
Ezra is an honest, considerate and approachable person, who's well organised approach to project management made the whole process as painless as possible. Any issues were communicated immediately and contingencies proposed, then actioned in a timely manner.
Also, as we were living on site with two young children, Ezra and his team were always very safety conscious and considerate, going out of their way to ensure the site was safe and secure for us all.
His team of tradesmen were always reliable and had much pride in their workmanship. We have had so many comments about the high level of finishing of our renovation, which is a direct link to the pride Ezra and his team have in their work.
We would happily recommend Lone Kauri Construction to anyone and would definitely use their services in the future."

When I started looking for a construction company for my house in Karekare, everybody in the community recommended Lone Kauri Construction. I remember the well known (and Karekare local) Architect Richard Priest saying: “I usually never recommend contractors, as there is always trouble, except Ezra Clark and his Lone Kauri Construction, he is just straight forward.” 
My Experience with Ezra and his crew stood up to the compliments!
I am an Architect with almost 20 years work experience across the world, until coming to New Zealand two years ago, and understand Richards comment, as construction is usually trouble to a certain extent.
The construction of my own house was a very pleasant experience; It started with the fun crew. I never encountered a site that was so cheerful throughout the process. Especially frontman Eyan Cannon, who is always in a good mood come rain or shine. 
Trish Rua, Ezra's partner and the company's accountant, kept the invoicing clear, timely, and transparent. With weekly invoices, hours of every team member listed, and all material receipts attached, keeping track of the budget is as easy as possible. 
The workmanship is of highest professional standards. My house is rich in minimalist details, which required forward thinking to ensure all elements join as intended. Ezra and his crew are extremely proud of their trade and delivered an excellent result. And they know the codes, we passed every inspection at the first go. 
If you want something done quick and dirty by cutting corners with cheap materials, Lone Kauri Construction is the wrong choice. If you want your project to last, to meet the codes, and be of high or highest standard, Ezra and his crew are the company of choice. 
If you are considering Lone Kauri as your contractor and wish to see references, you are always welcome to visit my house. Please make contact through Trish Rua at Lone Kauri Construction

"Having Ezra as our building project manager was the best decision we made.  His attention to detail and innovative ideas resulted in a home that is stylish, perfectly functional and durable for a large, busy family.  
He can explain even the most technical details to us in an easy to understand way. Ezra's expertise and knowledge ensured that both deadlines and budget were met. Highly recommended."

Ezra radically transformed our outdoor space into something beautiful and practical.  
He understood exactly what we wanted and was able to visualise our landscaping project in a way that maximised our usable space by creating flowing, functional areas.
He brought his considerable experience to the project to execute it flawlessly.  It was a wonderful thing to watch him working with such precision in his digger.
