Client Testimonial

Riki and his team are superb, and the work they completed for us was of an incredibly high standard. They worked with a large amount of consideration and respect for both us and our neighbors.

When we chose to move house for a new extension and renovation project—having previously worked with Riki and his team on another extension—there was only one builder we wanted to work with on this new project.

This new project was significantly larger in scale than the previous one, so we knew we needed the right support and guidance to achieve what we wanted. Riki and his team provided this consistently throughout the project, and we would not have achieved these results without them.

Exceptional Work Ethic & Communication

  • Hardworking Team: Riki and the team are incredibly hard workers, putting in a shift every day. We were consistently impressed by their collective work ethic and the daily progress they made. Even on days they considered “slow,” it never felt that way to us!
  • Clear Communication: Open and honest discussions throughout the project created a solid foundation for a successful, collaborative working relationship.
  • Client-Focused Approach: Riki and the team always strive to deliver exactly what the client wants. They provided valuable suggestions and expert opinions when requested, leveraging Riki’s vast experience. However, when we had specific requests, Riki always found a way to make them happen.

Project Management & Coordination

  • The schedule of work was discussed and agreed upon upfront, so we always knew what to expect.
  • Frequent progress updates and forward planning ensured the project remained on track and always felt like a partnership.
  • Living On-Site Considerations: We continued living on-site throughout the project, and the team was incredibly understanding of the challenges this presented. Wherever possible, they worked to minimize disruption and impact.

Handling Challenges & Problem-Solving

A large-scale renovation project is naturally stressful and filled with challenges. However, having the right team supporting you makes all the difference. Trust is essential, and Riki and his team earned ours completely, giving us confidence throughout the build.

In any project, unforeseen circumstances can arise, but what sets apart exceptional builders from good ones is how these challenges are managed. Any problems that did arise were dealt with quickly and efficiently, minimizing disruption. Riki always involved us in the decision-making process, ensuring there were no surprises.

Final Thoughts

We received countless positive comments both during and after the build, with many people asking us who we used. We always enthusiastically recommend Riki and his team, providing a full and glowing reference.

We are absolutely delighted with the results. Having Riki and his team as a key part of the project helped us realize our vision for the home and the way we want to live in it as a family for many years to come.

If we ever take on another building or renovation project in the future, Riki will be our first call—there is no one else we would want to work with.
