"When we purchased a half-acre section at Palm Beach on Waiheke Island, on what many people describe as a cliff, there was only one company we wanted to engage to build such a large and complex home and that was Redgwell Construction.

8 years prior when we started the process to carry out major renovations on our existing home in Cockle Bay, we asked around for a good building company and a trusted friend recommended Redgwell. They did not disappoint, and we have been thrilled with our family home ever since. Based on that previous experience, we were excited that they agreed to build on our challenging Waiheke site.

We found that working with Redgwell was a true partnership. Aaron’s project management, relationship and communication skills are outstanding. Their relationship with the interior design and landscaping teams was seamless and there are many features and innovations that came as a result of this collaborative style. The local Placemaker’s even commented how organised Redgwell was in placing orders for supplies weeks in advance compared to most other builders.  

Scheduling was made more complicated as many supplies had to be shipped by ferry to the Island and there were still a number of sub-contractors who came from the mainland for periods of time that needed to be managed. 

Halfway through the project, Covid-19 struck, and Aaron was able to keep our project on track and ahead of world-wide supply shortages that started to hit other builds. Sometimes, that meant finding alternative products in short time frames.  

The completed house and landscaping are totally outstanding, and many features are a result of the innovation, ideas and execution from the Redgwell team. Redgwell are at the very top of their game when it comes to building quality high end houses.

We are very proud of the work they did as we know they are too, and we have valued so much their eye for detail and their passion, and the commitment shown to complete our build.

It goes without saying, we highly recommend that you engage Redgwell Construction in your project as we have on two separate occasions. You won’t be sorry.

Many thanks Aaron, Des, Frank and the team for an outstanding build, the commitment you put in, the time away from your family and friends. This is a build we are all very proud of."

"We still love our new home after already 5 years in it. It still looks like new. It was our architect Jann Hurley who introduced your company to us and we are really pleased that you agreed to build our dream home in a speedy 10 months. Hardly a day went by that it wasn’t busy on site. We appreciate how your team delivered outstanding quality and got the best out of the sub-contractors too. Of course we had a few challenges, such as having to decide on holiday on more extensive foundations to cope with the steep eastern hill. The way we could interact with you and your relationship with our architect Jann Hurley was excellent and nothing like the strained relationships that are often portrayed on programmes like Grand Designs. We did not experience that at all but we have learned a lot from building this home. So if at any time in the future we wanted or had to build another home we would not hesitate for a moment to approach both Redgwell Construction and Jann Hurley again. A great team and a great outcome." 

“We wanted to write to you to thank you, Aaron and your team for the superb work you have done at our home in Remuera. We knew it was a challenge, but from the start we had confidence in your ability to work with a home of this period. Clearly your experience counts enormously in a project of this scale and complexity. We are grateful for your commitment to us and your ability to pull together the sub contractual team to assist your own team.”

“Following a 6 month search for an appropriate builder, Sumich Architects and ourselves chose Redgwell Construction to build our new home. Our 4 key criteria in the selection of Redgwell Construction were: 1. Their craftsmanship. 2. Their proven ability to price a project and then work to that price. 3. Their commercial strength. This was a 2 year project and we did not want to let the contract to a company that ran into financial difficulties part way through. 4. Their ability to contribute as a fully fledged member of the team. The team, in addition to Redgwell’s, included Matt Chaplain of Sumich Architects , Jenny Marshall, the Interior Designer, and Aletro Systems for audio and video. As well as ourselves. We are delighted with the result. The building part of the project started in March 2007 and was completed in March 2009. We found the experience to be a very positive one."

"The team at Redgwell are everything you want in your builders, plus more. Bold statement when it comes to the stress of a new build, but Aaron and his team made the building process an absolute dream, completing our project on time and on budget. Aaron liaised with all of the sub-contractors to make sure everyone turned up to do their part at the correct time which made for a seamless build with no delays. The team offered invaluable, practical advice that ended up saving us thousands. The quality at which our house was built is impeccable and we couldn’t be happier in our new home."
