Testimonials

"Real Builders are real people with really great attitudes, experience, advice and integrity!  As first time home-builders, we were thoroughly impressed with Don and his team. Right from the start, we were guided through the entire process of the building and finishing of our home. During this time, there was much laughter and great harmony between Don and ourselves. We believe there would be very few people in our position who could honestly say they built their first home with no problems whatsoever. This was down to Don's expertise and excellent communication. As his clients, we were impressed with his knowledge of the building industry and his skill as a Master Builder in his own right. Having the same building team on site every day is of immense benefit, as the continuity and high standard of work is maintained. Customer service such as this is a rarity these days!  In recognition of  Don's superb workmanship, our home achieved the Gold Award for Canterbury and the Gold Reserve National Finalist in the 2007 House of the Year competition. We would never hesitate to recommend Don to any future home-builder".

"From our first meeting with Don, we felt that he was on the same page as us, he knew what we wanted the house to look and feel like straight away.
We felt so comfortable with Don that we commissioned RBL to build the house straight away.
Don and his team did such a fantastic job of our new home that it ended up surpassing our expectations, the pride that Don and his team have in their workmanship is terrific to see, they kept the project on time on budget and in the process managed to create an award winning home that we are proud to show off.
Don and Leah have such a passion for creating that special home it shows in the details and the way that they do the job.

Thanks Don and Leah for giving Debbie and I our dream home".

"When we decided to build, a friend strongly recommended Real Builders as they were exceptionally pleased with the company’s performance.
Right from our first meeting Don and Leah were a pleasure to deal with.  When we presented our plans they made helpful suggestions when required and pricing was prompt, upfront and transparent.
It was exciting to see our home grow from the ground up and Real Builders made the experience hassle-free.  We remain very impressed with the quality of work provided by Real Builders and their sub-contactors.
As a consequence we would strongly recommend Real Builders to anyone wanting truly professional builders".

"Being a sub contractor in the building industry for over 13 years I get to see a lot of different types of quality when it comes to a new house build. So when it came time to build our own dream house Don was the first builder to call. He didn’t disappoint either, right through the building process he made things easy and the end product was one that i could be proud of.  Don's always on the top of list of chippies i would recommend to anyone wanting a quality home".
