Highlights
“GSBD completed a basement / rumpus room rennovation for my converting it into a modern lounge, study and bedroom area. From day one Gary's communication was excellent and his quality of work and attention to detail has been impressive. The project was completed to a high standard, ahead of schedule. I would highly recommend GSBD for anyone looking for rennovation or building work.”
“Always did what he said he was going to do, excellent communication which meant no budget shocks. What we thought was going to be messy and difficult ended up been just slightly messy. Exceeded our expectations on finish, looking forward to giving him more work soon.”
“I highly recommend Gary and his work. His communication skills are as good as his trade skills, he came, he quoted, he did the work :-) I had Gary perform some renovation work and just left him alone to do it, every night I came home more and more had changed! He kept me in the loop for everything going on and easily accomodated me changing my minds are expanding the project part way through. Thanks again Gary!”

What to check before you hire
Worth checking yourself
Always confirm credentials and quotes with the business directly before hiring.
Verify at the sourceCheck them 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 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.
