Testimonials

Buildingworks built and project managed the extension and renovation of our 1950's home. We were impressed with their professionalism, expertise and dedication to quality. The demolition of some of the house had commenced before cyclone Gabrielle arrived and the team made sure the house was stable and we felt safe living in the house through the storm. Communication was strong, keeping us informed at every stage and promptly addressing any issues as they arose. Overall we are very happy with the results delivered by Buildingworks. 

Claire - House extension and renovation

Just a quick note to say how happy we are with the complete repaint of our batton and board house.

The result looks terrific and the painting crew (Carwyn, Dylan and Gabby) were a joy to work with. 

Paul and Josefina Kirkman

Renovations are lovely and thoroughly enjoying them 

Thanks to all the team 😁

Very pleased with the result 

Fiona - Interior Renovations

We have used Buildingworks for a number of years for various projects, including home renovation, maintenance, new build and house painting.  Throughout this time we have found the overall service and standard of work consistently excellent, with a high level of communication.  Brendon and Steph have a skilled team which really does deliver.  With Buildingworks we are able to trust that any job big or small will be completed to a very high standard.

Hi Brendon

It has been an absolute pleasure to have you and your team working on our bathroom so please give everyone our thanks.  We are thrilled with the result, even allowing for the little things that had to be different from what I imagined because of the Council and its new rules.

I will certainly be recommending you to anyone who needs work done and I will definitely be back for my next lot of renovations.

Thanks so much

Wendy - bathroom renovation

We are absolutely totally delighted with all the work carried out.  We have been renovating our home for 15 years and this is the first time we have had first class service.  The work of your trades staff has been excellent and they have been a pleasure to have around.  We would highly recommend Buildingworks to anyone embarking on a renovation project. 

Kevin & Pat Hartung - bathroom renovations

Brendon and his team recently successfully completed a significant renovation for us including a bathroom, separate toilet, wet room and surrounding rooms. From the onset he displayed integrity and talked us through the project, providing expert guidance and always came with an alternative and not a problem, which resulted in a fantastic outcome. Brendon constantly kept us up to date on the progress of the project and co-ordinated his team (and one or two extra we threw at him) for a tidy, efficient, timely quality finish. His estimates were bang on with very little variance, mostly introduced by us.

We cannot speak highly enough of the job Brendon and his team did and he went out of his way to keep us informed and are ecstatic about the finished result. We would not hesitate to use his expertise again and highly recommend Brendon to everyone who wants to improve or build their home.

Elsie and Gary Hulst - bathroom and laundry renovations

Brendon and his boys have just completed renovations to my home - replacing toilet and laundry windows, removing french doors and ranch sliders and replacing them with stacker doors, replacing kitchen tiles, building a new cupboard for hotwater cylinder, building new stairs and landing to the backdoor, replacing boarding around base of house, replacing Gib on nearly all the ceilings.

I am more than satisfied with the workmanship and most impressed with the way my home was left so neat and tidy everyday. I would recommend Brendon and the team to anybody wanting any kind of building or construction.

Dianne Eaton - joinery installation and building repairs

Brendon and his team recently completed a bathroom renovation for us. As our home is over 100 years old it was a bit scary seeing the room stripped back to the bones but it needed to be done to have some straight and level surfaces to work with. We cannot speak highly enough of the job Brendon and his team did and are really happy with the finished result – a beautifully finished tiled bathroom.

Brendon's professionalism was outstanding. He bought allied tradesmen (plumber and gasfitter) with him when he came to do the estimate – which was very close to the final cost. He communicated well, co-ordinated the team for a timely job completion and they were tidy and efficient the whole way through.

We would not hesitate to use his expertise again.

Chris Thomas & Liz Morse - bathroom renovation

Brendon from Buildingworks worked in partnership with me to design and build my new home.  Brendon discussed and provided feedback to my design ideas using his experience and expertise as to what would work best from a building perspective.  Different types of materials were discussed and Brendon provided me with good lead time as to when I needed to start thinking about and deciding on certain materials and design features.  Throughout the project Buildingworks provided open and honest communication with respect to design amendments, timeframes and an update on costs.  Brendon was always contactable and willing to answer any questions or ideas I wanted to discuss with him.  The Buildingworks team provided a top quality construction job which was also commented on by the Council building inspectors.  The team are also really nice guys who respected my property and left the site safe and tidy at the end of each day.  I am delighted with my new home and love how we have utilised space on the property and gained maximum sunlight and privacy.  This was my first homebuild and I am really pleased with how stress free the whole project was!  I would definitely undertake another building project with Brendon and the Buildingworks team.  
Dom Burborough - new home build

Buildingworks was great! My bathroom renovation went very smoothly, I was kept updated with progress and consulted for decisions as they came up. Buildingworks gave me good advice with regard to which bathroom fixtures would suit my renovation and why. I am delighted with the result, I have two stunning, contemporary bathrooms... Thanks Buildingworks
Tracey Barclay - bathroom renovations

Buildingworks recently completed the following jobs: shelving in 2 wardrobes and a hall cupboard, repair borer ridden stairs, install washing line in carport, install new front and carport doors, replace 2 small pieces exterior capping and repair sticky ranch sliding door. All work was completed within timeframes, budget and to a high standard. Brendon offered cost saving options and information as to limitations or benefits of using different materials and how job could be completed to achieve desired result. All work areas were cleared and cleaned very well after work completed. Communication was excellent and Brendon was on time and responsive to all requests. Not all builders would approach a bunch of small jobs with the level of professionalism Brendon displayed and for that I was truly appreciative. Although they were only small it is so reassuring to have them done and they have made such a difference to our household.
Many thanks and all the best,
Krista Kilmartin - variety of odd jobs

Brendon and the team carried out major repairs on my home - removed the roof, erected a new frame for the new roof - replaced 15 windows, 2 sliding doors and 1 laundry door and completely renovated the bathroom.  All of which were carried out in a professional manner, I am completely satisfied with the workmanship and would contact Buildingworks again if I needed any further work.  Brendon had organised the subcontractors well so there were no delays.  Buildingworks were polite and importantly tidied up and removed rubbish at the end of the job.  
Frances Shaw - joinery installation, pool fencing installation, bathroom renovation

Initially I found it hard to find builders from Whangarei, due to us living in Auckland. I chanced upon the Buildingworks website. It was informative, clean and easy to navigate. Once I contacted them they replied instantly and because of this I went for Brendon and his team.

Although not a huge job by their standards, Buildingworks were professional, accommodating and sensitive to my Mum’s needs.  The work was a high quality and Brendon gave us progress reports at every opportunity.  Brendon is approachable, intuitive and a down to earth individual.  His patience in seeing things through with the upmost care and quality left us feeling good that we had made the right decision to go with his company.

All in all, Buildingworks are dependable, trustworthy and they listen.  I trust their workmanship and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to prospective clients.  I am extremely happy with Brendon and his team and will definitely use them again. 
Kiri Turketo, Auckland - bathroom renovation

Thank you for the opportunity to express our thanks and appreciation for the work carried out on our property.  
 
We decided as our family expanded to add an additional room and office to our existing 3 bedroom house and approached Buildingworks to quote us for this work (as they had been recommended to us).  We were very impressed with the professional and efficient way that they dealt with us and so building commenced on our property.  I had heard of others who had had trouble with the building process but our complete build went off without a hitch or a concern.  The team that worked on the building were always there when they said and worked tirelessly to ensure time frames were adhered to.  I appreciated the way that they ensured each day that things were left tidy and safe for my son to at least be outside.  I also found it very helpful that they kept us informed as to the progress and what to expect as each day went on. The Council inspectors at one point even commented on the high standard of work that they were carrying out. 
We are now happily living in our new extension and would highly recommend Buildingworks to others.  I am happy to give a verbal reference to anybody should they wish to contact me.
Tracey and Andrew Wallis - office and spare room extension

Can you please pass on to everyone that we are really impressed with the bathroom work and additional bedroom painting done by the team. All the people involved have finished everything to such a high standard. We have also always found Nik to be really easy to deal with, patient and nothing is too much trouble. There were a couple of things that needed to be changed and the solutions Nik and the team offered actually made it look better! And to top it off - it was all done within the original costs we discussed with Nik. Thanks so much! We will definitely call on you guys again and have been telling everyone to use Buildingworks.

Tania and Rico - Bathroom renovation and interior painting

Thanks again to Brendon and the team, I appreciate that this wasn’t the most straight forward job and there were a couple of other builders that obviously avoided having to take on a difficult project, so I am really thankful that you helped us out and gave us such a great ensuite.  We’re really stoked with the outcome and would definitely recommend Buildingworks to anyone looking for a builder.

Shiree - ensuite renovation

Thanks so much to you Brendon and your wonderful team of contractors, they were great guys - friendly, easy to work with and very high standard of workmanship and your efficient management of the project made it so much less stressful.

Lyndie - kitchen renovation

Thank you all for the nice job done, we are very happy.

Patty and David Wilson - bathroom renovation

Renovating the bathroom for the first time in 25 years was rather daunting.  I really appreciated Brendon’s ability to listen to what I wanted, offer advice, but find a way to make what I wanted work.

Communication was the key.  Even though I know that my project was small in the scheme of things, I felt like I had 100% of the work staffs attention, from start to finish.  Also, this is the only building project where things started on time, stuck to plan, and stayed on budget, except for a couple of hidden issues discovered along the way.  

Thanks to the entire team!

Melinda - bathroom renovation

We recently replaced our entire kitchen and carried out bathroom renovations. Buildingworks was recommended to us by the kitchen designers to carry out all the preparation work and other aspects of the renovation. We were very happy with the work they did and as there were several different trades involved, it was a great relief not to have to engage them all ourselves and then project manage their work. Brendan organised all of that and made sure they all turned up when they were supposed to and did whatever they needed to do to allow the next stage of the work to be completed – that removed a lot of potential stress for us. The tradesmen were all skilled professionals and we were very pleased with the quality of their work. Brendan even sent someone along to clean and tidy our house at the end of the project – a nice touch! We would have no hesitation in recommending Buildingworks for renovation projects.

Alistair - kitchen and bathroom renovation

Big thanks to Brendon and the guys for a great job on both the kitchen and the bathroom, I'm very happy with the result. They have all been a pleasure to work with.😊

Robert - kitchen and bathroom renovations

Brendon and the rest of the team at Buildingworks did a fantastic job on the renovation of our 1912 bungalow.  Brendon communicated well with us throughout the project, so there were no surprises on completion.  Brendon’s knowledge and experience, as well as the capabilities of the rest of his team enabled the project to run smoothly and be completed on time.  We are extremely happy with our renovation, we would definitely use them again for any future building projects – big or small. 

Josh and Kim - bungalow renovation

Thank you to the Buildingworks team for the amazing work they have done for me and to you in the office as well.  When I have saved enough money for the next lot of work that needs to be done I shall be back in touch.

Wendy - building and repairs

Buildingworks constructed a 25 metre retaining wall on our property.  Their excellence in organising the project and the two builders that did the job was top notch.  Will use them again for sure.  Please pass on my thanks to staff concerned for a great job, I passed on to my neighbour your firms phone number as needs a price for a big job there.  Thanks Buildingworks.

Harry - retaining wall and fencing

I am super happy with the work you guys have done. I love my house now.  I was really impressed with all Buildingworks staff - helpful, informative and professional.

V Wright - Pergola installation and exterior house paint

We are very happy to have worked with Brendon Lindsay and Buildingworks, they always provide us an excellent level of professional service with a friendly smile. We have found Brendon to be a wealth of knowledge, always fully understanding building practices and methods.

We would highly recommend Buildingworks as a great company to deal with.

Mike - Building & Fire Services - various internal office projects

Brendon constructed large feature screening to form a backdrop to our subtropical back garden. He translated our ideas accurately and gave advice on building aspects of the construction. He completed the job efficiently and quickly. We found at all times he was friendly, professional and extremely trustworthy.

We are very happy with the finished screening and would certainly use Brendon for building and landscaping projects we may have in the future. We can thoroughly recommend him.
