_Verbatim quotes from this tradesperson's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "We had an urgent and extensive renovation job for a rental unit that had a tenant moving in in 4 weeks after our regular builders backed out due to the time pressure. We found Jim and after contacting him he agreed to take a look at the job the very next day. He was very professional in his interpersonal manner and communications and provided excellent design advice (we were re-configuring an existing 2 bedroom unit and converting to a 3 bedroom). His quote was detailed and accurate and very"

> "When three local builders failed to get back to us after viewing the job we went online and found No Cowboys and JFC Construction. Jim looked at the job that day and said 'yes we can' and started a work just few days later. Despite being an awkward job in many respects Jim was prepared to quote and stick to it. Jim and Andrew were a delight to have working on our house and the job was all finished to a high standard on the appointed day. On time, on budget and with no dramas. Now all we"

We were very particular about what we wanted and how we wanted it to look and Jim and Andrew took the time to understand exactly what our requirements were. The end result is exactly what we envisaged. Jims attention to detail and quality is outstanding and we are extremely happy with our deck.

## Before you hire a builder
_What to check when choosing this kind of trade (general guidance, not a claim about this business):_
- Never pay a large deposit up front. Agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
- Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
- Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow. Both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
- In New Zealand, restricted building work must be carried out or supervised by a Licensed Building Practitioner, and all electrical, plumbing, gasfitting and drainlaying by a licensed tradesperson (EWRB for electricians, PGDB for plumbers and gasfitters). Check the public register before you hire.
- For residential building work of $30,000 or more you are legally entitled to a written contract and a disclosure statement setting out the tradesperson's skills, licences and insurance. Ask for both before work starts.
