DRD Builders

“The DRD team provided us with expert advice and quality construction along with realistic expectations on our recent renovation. We experienced clear communications and a real customer focus from the building team. They were flexible when changes needed to be made and we had trust in their processes, honesty and integrity. Will use again and recommend them.”

“When we started the demolition of an elderly house and the complete re-build over 2 years ago we could not have anticipated the potential effects that Covid may have on the build itself or the building industry. But regardless and throughout, DRD proved themselves to be an efficient, effective, skilled and resourceful team. Regardless of the extra challenges that building an extension to a fully operational , 24/7 animal shelter posed, Hadleigh, Jesse and Tim ( along with Joe , Dylan and the other crew members) were totally reliable and their excellent communication made this complex build a positive experience. As clients we felt that our needs were heard, considered, discussed and actioned without difficulty ...and this continued with every tradesperson they sub contracted to. Our 3 story new build is something which we are extremely proud of and we at Cats Protection Wellington have no hesitation in recommending DRD.”

“We have recently finished up a major renovation at our villa, using the services of DRD. Heading into this project we were a bit nervous as friends had told of issues with building and renos, however we didn't need to worry. DRD were so professional, on time and amazing to work with from start to finish. We felt comfortable the whole way through the process and could not be happier with the results. There is not a single thing we are unhappy with. Brendan and Liam were incredible and nothing was too much trouble for them - in fact we absolutely loved having them around and life feels a bit strange without seeing them daily now. They were always on time, courteous and made it all very stress free (especially with four animals around, and owners still living in the home during the renos). Jesse and Tim had incredible communication and kept us very in the loop with billing etc. Would absolutely use DRD again, and would recommend to anyone wanting a professional service and a job well done.”

“My company James Henry Ltd has subcontracted to DRD for nearly ten years on numerous projects. We supply and fit high quality wooden floors. We've found Jesse and Hadleigh and their teams to be well organised and professional. They are genuinely nice people to deal with and by our observations they turn out very well put together renovated homes.”

“We have recently finished a large renovation of the entire ground floor of our house and I could not recommend DRD enough. This was a complete rebuild and refit. The team of Tim H, Harry and Tim F were always on time, helpful and communicative. They did what they said they would do and they made the renovation process as stress free as possible. They worked through supply shortages to get us what was needed in advance. They even stepped up and managed a few of our subcontractors for us which was really going above and beyond as it was outside their remit. The team was also really great as we lived onsite (with a baby) throughout the project and they did lovely helpful things like stopping loud noises when we were entering and leaving the house. The work has been completed to a very high standard and getting our code of compliance felt easy! Would highly recommend”
