Testimonials

“Richard’s and his team are very professional and they have the ability to make a project enjoyable! Every challenge is discussed and thoughtfully resolved. Richard has built our beach house which is four hours drive away – not being on-site meant that we had to have full trust in his decision making and work ethic. We couldn’t be happier with the result”.

Martin & Nickie

“Throughout our entire building project there was never a cross word or a bad day with Richard - he made the whole experience a real pleasure. Rich & his team are true craftsmen who put a lot of effort into detail. One aspect of working with them that we thoroughly appreciated was their ability to come up with new & practical ideas to compliment the original design. We are absolutely thrilled with our home & cannot recommend Rich & his team highly enough”.

Heather & John

“Rich and his team are not your “run of the mill” builders.These men are craftsmen!
Their attention to detail is incredible, their initiative and common sense refreshing, and the finished result really impressive.
Nothing has been a “hassle” - any issues have been sorted with no stress involved!
Having a small team who are completely immersed in one house at a time, makes for a smooth operation where everyone is on the same page.
We have been so lucky to have Rich, Nigel, Tim, Mason and Logan creating our home and would enthusiastically endorse them without hesitation”.

Sally & Jock

"We built our future home in Whanarua Bay while living in Austrailia. Rich gave us piece-of- mind by sending photos and keeping us up to date with issues. He made valuable suggestions to change aspects of the build respectfully and most were adopted. He was always very professional, showing concern and respect during some of the more difficult times. His patience is extraordinary and his attention to detail, excellent. I would not hesitate to recommend Rich and his team to prospective clients."

Vicki & Steven

Their commitment to quality and the level of craftsmanship is outstanding and we could not be happier with the result. Rich’s ideas and innovative suggestions have all been implemented adding to the overall success of the project.
