Whether you’re building a brand-new home or renovating your current one, it’s absolutely paramount that you work with builders you trust. When you choose Master Builders, you know you’re working with qualified, experienced and passionate builders who truly care about what they do.
These are builders who are officially registered with the Registered Master Builders Association, which is a well-known and trusted organisation for New Zealand builders. These registered builders are highly skilled professionals who have proven themselves enough to be recognised by this organisation.
Registered builders must prove their experience and qualifications before officially being registered, so when you choose them, you can have peace of mind knowing that they have very high standards.
Additionally, choosing a Master Builder means that your home project is backed by the Master Build 10-Year Guarantee. This guarantee provides you with essential protection in case anything goes wrong. If you choose good builders, you can avoid risk and amateur mistakes, but there’s always a chance that issues can arise - so staying protected is a must.
The Master Build 10-Year Guarantee is set in place so that you are covered in case your builder can’t or won’t finish a project or fix defects. Many mortgage lenders require a building guarantee, so if you plan on applying for a mortgage for your project, the Master Builder 10-Year Guarantee can help you secure it.
This guarantee can cover either up to $1,000,000 or the value of the building contract, depending on which is less. It covers loss of deposit, non-completion, materials, structural defects, temporary accommodation and more. For more details, please visit this page.
Regardless of whether you’re planning a straightforward renovation or a spacious new house, working with Master Builders means you’re working with trusted professionals who are committed to excellence.
Choosing registered builders is a fantastic start, but registration should not be the only quality you look for. You must also look at other attributes that are important for house builders to have, including the following:
Experience. Being a registered Master Builder is an excellent sign that your chosen builders are skilled, but you should still look into and ask about their experience yourself. Ask about how long they’ve been in the industry, the kinds of projects they’ve worked on and what drives them to do what they do.
In particular, you should ask your builders if they’ve worked on projects similar to the one you’re planning. They can draw from their experience to provide you with top-tier services and support that suit your needs.
Portfolio. What kind of homes have they worked on in the past? Always look at their portfolio to see their outstanding work for yourself. See if you like their style and if you’d like them to replicate any results for your home. If you’re struggling to visualise your dream home, then looking at past work can help you brainstorm amazing new ideas.
Communication. Aside from technical skill and passion, your Master Builders need to have good communication and people skills. You’ll be working with them closely as your house is built or renovated, so you need to work with people you trust and understand. Great communicators will be easier to collaborate with, and you can brainstorm ideas or work through problems together.
Communication is essential throughout all stages of building projects:
