## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this tradesperson's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "We used Ian and his small team to redo our backyard from a concrete and raised garden mess into something usable for our two primary-school aged children who are sports-mad. I was very impressed by the work that was done. Ian was able to work through a couple of unexpected issues that arose - an extra layer of concrete under a path being one. It took them longer than expected to get the job done due to weather and the backlog they had from other jobs, but we cannot be happier with the"

> "Ian and his team built the timber fence around our property in Mosgiel. They were very friendly and easy to have working around the house, they spent a lot of time consulting with me to get the finish I wanted, and the end result was excellent. I would have no hesitation recommending them."

## 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.
