Testimonials

A small but very important job - I wanted to renovate my dated bathroom, toilet and laundry and needed it completed within a certain time period and to a budget. Craig was fantastic in helping me work through space planning options, and came up with a solution to move the laundry to the garage, and create an office for me instead. I’m thrilled with the finished result and absolutely love my new rooms. Creating the extra room/office was such a bonus and has added value to my home. Craig and the boys were so respectful and an absolute pleasure to have around. They left the site as clean and tidy as possible at the end of each day making living in the house while the job was done possible. The whole process was stress-free and very satisfying and I would thoroughly recommend Craig and his team.

It is difficult to find enough superlatives to describe Craig and United House.  Craig is everything you want in a tradesman and project manager. His technical skills as a builder and breadth of knowledge of the building industry and building products are of the very highest order. He is also a brilliant workflow manager, maximising efficiency by optimising the ordering of project steps and availability and complementation of his own team, subcontractors and material suppliers. Craig’s communication is also beyond reproach. He keeps the client fully informed of the progression of the project and is completely transparent. If a problem arises, an inevitability in any building project, Craig’s approach is to present the client not with the problem but with the solution. Most importantly, though, Craig is a great person. He is relaxed but professional, honest, trustworthy and funny – everything a client needs to ease them through the stress of the project. We absolutely recommend Craig and United House.

Thank you for the fantastic job you and your team did on our townhouse renovations in Kohimarama. It was a pleasure to have you all on site, everyone was so respectful and professional. And left the place clean and tidy each night. The construction and level of finishing are awesome, we are particularly delighted with the new ensuite bathroom. Your ability to solve challenges as they arose in a practical and cost-effective way was much appreciated, to keep within budget. Now its time to sell our property, so thank you for doing the building report and moisture testing to give our real estate agent.  All the best Craig. And if we need a builder on our next home you are sure to hear from us!

We were introduced to Craig as a potential builder for our renovation, and knew immediately we’d found the right person. Craig and his team were an absolute pleasure to work with from day one. Craig project managed the entire job including managing all the sub trades, and he instilled in us a sense of confidence right from the start of the project. Nothing was too much trouble and he always took the time to talk us through the process and answer any questions we might have. The finished result surpasses our expectations thanks to Craig’s incredibly high standards and ‘do it once, do it right’ mentality. The site was always immaculate and safe and his team were polite, respectful and good fun to have around. We are thrilled we made the decision to use United House and highly recommend them

We undertook an extensive renovation on our entire ground floor, including foyer, garage, stairwell, 3 bedrooms, bathroom, WC and rumpus, and engaged Craig from United House to carry out the work. Very rare to find a builder who has so much pride and dedication to the job. I was always fully informed of any issues that arose, and was always reassured that Craig had everything under control, as he always did. Craig you did a fantastic job. I had full confidence and faith in your ability to complete my job, always assured daily of your progress. It was a pleasure to have you do our renovation and you will always be my number one builder.”

Dear Craig, a quick note to thank you and your team for the great work you have completed recently on installing our new entrance. As you know this is the start of a much larger renovation program to extend our home and remodel the unsightly additions of the 1990s! The finishing of your work shows a real eye for detail and determination for any alterations to be sympathetic to and in keeping with character of our 1920s arts and crafts bungalow. Your guidance and professionalism throughout the process has re confirmed our belief that we're in good hands for this substantial project. I'd also like to thank you for your help in guiding us through the process of dealing with and getting the best from our joiners.
