Testimonials

"We have received our Code of Compliance today and Russell and I could not let the occasion pass without sincerely thanking you and your team for the outstanding work you did in completing our house to such a very high standard. The workmanship is top notch and we are delighted with every aspect of the build. Thank you so much for listening to us and for being so easy to talk to. Thank you so much. We will be able to enjoy this house for a very long time."

Lois and Russell Aitkenhead, Enner Glynn, Nelson, New Zealand

“Trevor and his team built our family home in 2014. After hearing numerous horror stories from friends (and watching endless episodes of “Grand Designs”) we were a little wary about the process, particularly meeting our budget and timeframe targets. Trevor project managed the entire build and kept us up to date with progress and pre-empted decision making ensuring the build not only met our targets but was a real pleasure to be part of. His team was extremely respectful and professional, on sight early each morning and cleaned the build site every night. We were always welcome on site and Trevor ensured any concerns were addressed. Trevor takes extreme pride in his work and was innovative in solving problems not anticipated during the design process. We particularly appreciated his transparency in decision making and pricing and his ability to keep us well informed of progress and potential issues. Salter Builders were a pleasure to deal with and our build was an exciting and rewarding experience. We highly recommend them.”

Janine Pomeroy & Rod Sharp, Mapua, Tasman, New Zealand

"We could not have hoped for a better builder than Trevor Salter for our first home building experience. Trevor was extremely reliable, approachable and hard-working. But what we particularly appreciated was his professionalism, attention to detail and problem-solving abilities. We are very grateful for having had Trevor and his talented team build our family home. We definitely recommend Salter Builders."

Aurelie & Richard Fraser, Atawhai, Nelson, New Zealand

"Through the whole process of our build Trev was just amazing. If we wanted to change anything, it was never a problem. If we wanted something that is not on the plan, Trev made it for us, no problem. We found him to be a really hard worker and his quality of work was exceptional. You can rest assured that if you use Salter Builders you will be getting more than what you paid for, highly recommended."

Warren and Debbie Burrows, Richmond, Nelson, New Zealand

"Working with Trevor on our very large two-storey house has been easy and trouble free. His standards are second to none and the care and attention to detail has been outstanding. His crew also share Trevor's standards and have been very helpful, friendly and have contributed to the smooth running of the project. We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Salter Builders to anyone wishing to build."
