Macreadie Builders

About

Testimonials

Hi, we are Lee and Jeff. We choose the end of 2019 to start our renovation. Before that there was at least a year of preparation with our builder and architect. We had seen Macreadies building on our street. We approached the homeowner and they were very happy to recommend Macreadies. We approached Macreadies and spoke to Joel Macreadie. After two years of knowing Joel we can say he is a warm, enthusiastic and talented builder and person. His communication skills are solid and he had/has a great team of builders who come with various skills and who are suited to a variety of projects. We understood from the beginning, that renovations are never straight forwarded and come with many complications. Joel and his team were always an intricate part of resolving challenges. Covid was a challenge! We all went the extra mile when it came to Covid and are thankful for having had Macreadies on our team. We enjoy our house every day and thank Macreadies for being the professionals they are.

Joel & his team were exceptional throughout what turned out to be a very challenging complete renovation & extension of our house. From day one we were presented with a large number of difficulties, consent process & architectural challenges, and hidden issues with the existing house. Joel’s open communication, can-do attitude, and ability to see opportunities in difficult situations made what could have been a disastrous process into a doable one & the end result far exceeds what we expected. We now have a bespoke home that is quite stunning, in which all of the spaces flow & work beautifully together. And my family are still talking to each other. We can’t recommend these guys highly enough!!

Matiu

We used Macreadie Builders in 2014 to convert a double garage into a one-bedroom sleepout. We were so impressed with Joel and his team, he had a very professional and knowledgeable approach to our build. We have since used Macreadie Builders to do some major home improvements, new decking and new front entrance of our house. Joel is very easy to deal with, nothing is a problem, he keeps you informed re budgets, and deadlines etc. Joel has a great team that have enormous respect for him and they also have his great work ethic. Did I mention that these guys are so tidy - which is brilliant. Highly recommend Macreadie Builders.

I own a Quantity Surveying consultancy that offers preliminary construction costs for Macreadie's upcoming projects. Working with Macreadie Builders I quickly found how passionate and professional they are within their work. Joel is innovative and has a great team of people not only in his company but also surrounds himself with the best people in the industry when employing sub-trades. Joel will save his clients money where possible without sacrificing quality, delivering his projects on time and within budget to the highest standard. I highly recommend this builder.

Chris Grubb | Njord Quantity Surveying Ltd

I highly recommend Macreadie Builders for any building project. Joel and his team have been amazing in my build. They have produced an absolutely stunning property for me and my family. Nothing was ever a problem for them, their communication was exceptional on every element and they delivered the house way ahead of schedule. As a single, full-time working mother of 2, they made the whole process a breeze even though it was quite a difficult and involved project. I would recommend Joel and his team to anyone looking to renovate or build, you won’t find better.

Leanne Chawla, Old North Road Large Scale Renovation

I am an Architectural designer and have worked with Macreadie Builders on a number of projects including a recent extensive residential renovation at Kumeu. They have always showed total professionalism, good communication together with an excellent standard of workmanship.

Graham Walls, Park West Design

Joel and Dave and the rest of the team at Macreadie Builders are my "go-to" building team for my client projects. They provide an excellent end-to-end building service, including managing the sub-trades. They are highly professional with great communication. I highly recommend them.

Nicola Manning Design

This was the first renovation my husband and I have done using professional builders. Yes I said professional builders. Macreadie Builders did such an amazing job right from the word go - from communications, suggestions around little things, suggestions around big things!!! They are extremely solutions orientated - when doing our bathroom upstairs, before installing our very heavy marble bath, the uncovered that the floor would need to be reinforced in order to hold the weight of this full bath with a person in it!!! They came up with an option to fix it, making it safe (and meaning we got to keep our beautiful bath!) and it was just no problem and was very reasonably priced to remediate! We were so happy and thought - I bet other builders may have just plonked the bath in with out even worrying, but Joel and the team just got it sorted! The home is beautiful, but check out our beautiful ensuite (with beautiful marble bath!!!).

If you want a team that are easy to work with, who have beautiful workmanship and just gets things done... Macreadie Builders are the team for you!

Kim Growden - Auckland CBD Renovation

Joel helped us out with the end of our renovations and was awesome to deal with. It's not often you get a tradie who is a great communicator, punctual, efficient AND good at what he does - yet that's exactly what we got with Joel. Would highly recommend Macreadie Builders. They will be building our next house!

We used Macreadie Builders services several times for large and small building jobs. They have always been prompt, efficient and cost-effective. On every job they delivered exceptionally good workmanship. I have not a single hesitation to recommending them for any job small or large.

While you do have to listen to some bad jokes, Joel learnt his trade from a cabinet maker and it shows. Accurate and thorough, does a great job.
