We had a great experience with Build Smart Company. They were easy to deal with, professional, and made the whole process smooth from start to finish. Communication was clear and everything was handled efficiently. Would happily recommend them to others.

Buildsmart delivered a fantastic refurbishment of my bathroom that included bringing laundry into the space. I had a workable bathroom in 9 days just prior to Christmas & then they completed job in January. Great communication with Project Manager & Main Builder liaising with all the subcontractors. I thoroughly recommend their workmanship & professionalism. See below from Before to during to After

These guys at BuildSmart are absolutely amazing - when faced with a natural disaster in Dunedin (Civil Defence Emergency rain event) in October 2024 we were recommended by our Structural Engineer Sean O'Neill, to touch base with Glen from BuildSmart - we have nothing but a glowing reommendation re Glen and his team when faced with a year of battling EQC (NHC) and our insurance company, AAI, for compensation/settlement - wouldn't wish that on anyone!. It really took its toll on us but Glen made everything so much easier with his excellent communication with all parties (and there were many throughout the country) re his videos, emails and relentless phone chats inside and outside of standard working hours. In a heightened stressed state he was the calming voice at the other end of the phone and allayed all our fears. This was never going to be a cheap fix, indeed very expensive, but Glen and his team showed us that there are wonderful people that do work in your favour. Thank you Glen and to your team with special mention to Blair and his young team (Taieri Excavation) for listening and looking after our section as much as they could, and, of course, our Site Manager Sam, who also worked tirelessly keeping everyone in check and solving problems on the hop - we bloody got there Glen so a huge THANKYOU to you and your team :)

Glen and the team at BuildSmart at second to none. They did work on our home after we discovered some problematic foundations. The work was done efficiently, to a very high standard and with great communication. The team's videos outlining the issues and they construction steps is great for people who don't fully understand building work. I highly recommend this company for renovations and new builds.

I had my bathroom renovated, and it looks fantastic. They are a great team. From the planning to the finish, Shane and Jake kept me up to date and checked with how I wanted things done. They were happy to accommodate any changes.
