## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this tradesperson's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "I can't rate these guys highly enough. I've done a few renovations in the last 20 years and this was the best team bar none. From the detailed budget & spec - so we knew exactly what we were getting, to the time schedule for the work, they were very thorough, and all this before they even started on site. Everything went smoothly, Jose was a very capable project manager and the subbies all turned up when they were supposed to. The job was done on time - actually 2 days early! and on"

## 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.
