Featured Reviews for Builders in Rakaia, Canterbury, New Zealand

Fortified Homes Ltd
Builders in Rakaia, Canterbury, New Zealand
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars26 February 2020
“Fortified homes are an amazing home company. I am thrilled to bits with my new home that was designed for me at no extra cost. I was told it would be a long hard road building but instead Mike & Courtenay made it so easy from start to finish. Mike made it easy to make the budget work and because of this over runs were non existent unlike many other companies. Quality was exceptional for their standard products and the time to build was only 15 weeks from start to finish. I couldn't rate them highly enough!! If you want a great home at a great price with a good honest building company then this is the one you should choose.”

James Hunt Residential
Builders in Rakaia, Canterbury, New Zealand
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars29 March 2020
“Liz and I spent years designing our home and incorporating the things that are important to us. This included the detail of exposed beams in the living area and corbels under the eaves as well as the layout of the whole house. James executed our plans well and we are pleased with the home we now live in. James was an excellent project manager and builder for us. His communication was excellent and meant we were always aware of where we were up to. His ability to tweak things as we went meant we were able to save money and keep the project moving. His attention to detail means we were delivered a house where both the large and small things have been seen to. He coordinated well with subcontractors and trades for our home. I totally recommend James and if we build again would use his services.”

Builder FAQs
There are several reasons why you should hire a local builder in Rakaia:
  1. Local builders will be familiar with your local authorities building regulations, being able to advise on any relevant permits you need before work can begin.
  2. Builders near you will be aware of the climate of your area, and can recommend materials and construction methods suitable for your area.
  3. Building firms nearby will provide quicker responses and quotes compared to contractors outside of your local area, as they are nearby, they will often drop in to talk to you about your project and view the property.

For home builders, you will usually receive a quote for a building project instead of daily rates or hourly fees. The cost depends on various factors such as the type of job, builders experience and length of the project.

Expect to pay less for a small maintenance job such as brickwork repair or an extension of an existing wall than a new build project such as a kitchen or bathroom renovation and home extensions. After you’ve found a local builder for your project, speaking with them in detail about your project will help them give you an accurate estimate for the work required.
If you hire a home builder for a lengthy project, such as an extension, your builder may charge a daily rate. You can expect to pay around £350 per day for this. If your builder charges this way, ask for an estimation of how long this will take so you know roughly how much the total cost will be.

Compile a shortlist of at least three builders in Rakaia that can handle the full scope of works, either by themselves or through sub-contracting. It is often a good idea to play devils advocate and ask what the builder will not be responsible for. Be wary of unusually cheap quotes. Ask for references and stories about how the builder has met different challenges along the way. If you can, you could try to see previous projects and talk to previous clients, or if not, read reviews, recommendations and ratings, and look at detailed photos of projects. All of which you can find on Houzz.
