Our project comprised of a double garage with floating deck above, retaining walls and a new driveway with parking/turning bay - all finished to a very high standard. At the start of the build, there were a couple of unforeseen circumstances (through no fault of Paul Troake Construction - my only regret was not engaging their expertise sooner!) that would have typically caused" > Source: Marc (5.0, via NoCowboys) > "Thank you vey much to Paul and his team (Laurie, Andy, Luke and Nigel) who fixed the interior walls and ceilings of my house caused by leaking from the storm damage.

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. ## Contact - Phone: 021 248 8844 - Website: http://paultroakeconstruction.co.nz --- Source: MyTrustedTraders, https://nz.mytrustedtraders.com/traders/paul-troake-construction-limited Real public evidence only: every figure traces to its named source.
