## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this tradesperson's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "We first came into contact with Gareth from Westmere Builders about six years ago when we were preparing our house for sale and needed building work carried out. Gareth was fantastic in every way, which is why we continued to use his services in the house we moved to. We have renovated our house with Gareth's help. His project management, work contacts, communication and price have always been outstanding. I have no hesitation in recommending Westmere builders."

## 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.
