Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

“Excellent building and restoration work in August. Smallish job. Efficient and skillful completion.”
“Grant was recommended to me by a friend for whom he had worked. He lived up to the recommendation - he was hardworking, did high quality work, communicated regularly and consulted on details when necessary. The work included recladding a two storey gabled wall, replacing a window and replacing some interior wall boarding. He organised the scaffolding, the window and the painter in addition to the demolition and building work. I would happily re-employ Grant.”
“Wales construction was a pleasure to work with. Doing work on an old villa - in this case a significant renovation - is never simple because nothing is straight or plumb. Grant found solutions to all the unforeseen problems we ran into in a very practical and cost effective way. He would put options and ideas forward and was always very conscious about cost. Once he started all his focus was on this job and getting it done. The job also kept growing with more areas to be renovated, and Grant”

We contacted Grant to replace our decking timber in November. The job took longer to commence due to weather. It was completed in March, within the timeframe agreed and to a good standard. He was obliging with some additional work discovered as the job progressed, making practical suggestions which fit with our budget. Costings were transparent and straightforward.
Grant is absolutely amazing. He removed the gib on our walls and put up new gib, making sure everything was perfect and level. Organised timely delivery of the materials needed for the job and didn't over-order. He is a tidy worker, always leaving the job site clean, and his workmanship is A+. He is polite, trustworthy and simply the best. He has made what felt overwhelming and stressful, manageable and fun. Highly recommend Grant, can't fault him. I'd like to add, I've just seen the
Grant did a great job in reinstating a flood-damaged laundry, storage room and garage. He worked efficiently to a high standard and communicated well during the project. I would use Grant again without hesitation.
I Contacted Wales based on the reviews I saw on No Cowboys on the 09 May 2023. He came for a site visit on the 12 May 2023. I had a few jobs at my property, the initial dealings with him were professional and courteous, giving me confidence that I am dealing with a genuine trades man. I had the below list of jobs that I required him to do. 1. Lay down ply as flooring in the attic space/storage I had created. 2. 8 Letter boxes to be replaced with new ones (I live in a block of
Guess what? All the good things previous reviewers have written about Grant Wales, well it's all true. Grant provides quality workmanship, he's reliable, honest, focussed and very affable. I would definitely hire him again. A top bloke.
Grant is punctual, focussed on quality, reliable, honest and hard-working. He communicates well and is pleasant to work with. He listens to the client’s needs, but also offers practical suggestions. We would recommend him highly.
Very happy to recommend Grant, not only a very experienced and professional builder who takes pride in his work, but also good at communicating how the job was proceeding, kept me (client) in the loop regarding delivery of materials and timing etc. Very happy with Grant's billing system - client generally pays for larger material orders directly.
Grant was great to work with. He recently built a new kitchen for us. Very helpful and had a lot of great ideas. Would use again and recommend to anyone.
If you want someone who is meticulous, cost effective, reliable, creative and a pleasure to work with, Grant is your man. I have done many builds in the past and Grant is up with the best craftsmen. I will continue to use him heading forward. Superb.
Grant recently completed my external workshop. The build quality was very high and this building will now last for 50 years plus due to the time and patience taken to get it right. Not many trades people impress me anymore as most are there to rip you off and don't turn up on-time, Grant is old school and turns up when he says he will and does a great job
Highly recommend Grant. He quietly got on and was great and no fuss with both jobs he has done for us.
Grant worked on our Grey Lynn villa renovation consistently from Sept 2019 - Mar 2020. The work was extensive and included removal and rebuilding internal and external walls, replacement of floors, window and door installation, preparation and installation of 3 steel beams and everything in-between, including an extensive amount of architrave and skirting installation. As the property owner and not knowing much about building, Grant was fantastic to work with and helped to guide us through
Grant did a fantastic job renovating my home. He worked with me to plan and solution all aspects of the job, sourced materials, and liaised with other tradies. Grant applied great attention to the detail (anticipating issues before picking up the tools) and above all else did a fantastic job. I’d highly recommend Grant to anyone looking for a skilled tradesman.
Very happy with the work Grant did, replacing and painting a veranda floor and fixing rotten floorboards. He gives a fair indication of costs and then just gets on and does the job. I would certainly ask him to do work again.
I had Grant from Wales Construction do some work on my Kitchen. I found them brilliant to deal with. Their response was quick, their work was excellent and completed within the timeframe required. I am very, very satisfied with the results. I would recommend them to anyone.
