Richard was absolutely great. His workmanship was second to none;he made really helpful suggestions and cost saving ideas and it was a relief to leave decisions up to him. I wouldn't hesitate to employ him again; in fact I intend to .

Apart from being a good comunicator, he problem solves, which keeps things moving. Hes gives energy to a job & knows the trade information & contacts required to make sure the new codes are meet.

Richard has a high standard of mastership in all the work he has done. I have never had to recall Richard to repair anything because of poor workmanship. I have been fully satisfied with the vast amount of renovations that he has done on my home.

Exceptional service. Richard has great experience as a builder and is very professional. He has done a few jobs for me, even my home kitchen which looks amazing. Keeps resources under the budget and has good job punctuation. I would recommend his service to anyone. He is also very friendly and trustworthy.

Worth checking yourself

Restricted building work in New Zealand must be carried out or supervised by a Licensed Building Practitioner. Confirm they hold a current LBP licence - and check their licence class and any disciplinary history - on the LBP public register before you hire.

Check the LBP register
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.
