Nicola and Russell from Paremata say: “Right from the start when we were recommended Carl and his team, we knew it was the right decision. Carl expects the same high standards from his subcontractors, and we were not disappointed… We could not be happier with our completed project.”

How we work with you

Firstly we will sit down with you and listen to your ideas and understand what’s important to you, offering advice and suggesting solutions. We then provide you with an estimate to complete your project. Next come the plans and Building Consent and a full project quote and contract. We outline a payment schedule and set out a project timeline. Any variations along the way are agreed on and documented. Lastly we provide Completion Certificates, Warrantees and Compliance Certificates and attend to final touch-ups and a thorough clean and tidy-up. Now all you need to do is move in and enjoy what you’ve created for many years to come. See the full Project Guide.
