We had Ryan Builders come complete our Fletcher EQR repair. We nominated them as a preferred contractor as they came recommended by a friend. After hearing so many horror stories about other people getting their earthquake repairs done we wanted someone that came recommended. They did an outstanding job and had us back into our house two weeks early which was a pleasant surprise as Christmas was fast approaching.

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 registerNever 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.
