Design Builders Waikato

“Design Builders Waikato designed and built our beautiful home, even winning an Award at the Waikato House of the Year. The whole process was easy and well-managed, and the team was great to deal with — organised, approachable, and professional throughout. The quality of the workmanship was excellent, and the end result was exactly what we’d hoped for. I’ve added a photo so you can see the finish for yourself. Would happily recommend them to anyone looking for a quality design and build company.”

“Working with Design Builders Jeff Mara and his team made the process of building seem relatively effortless. At the design stage Jeff had unending patience with us as the design evolved. The build was kept on target with our efficient project manager. All aspects were thought of including interior decor. Allof the tradespeople completed the work to the highest standard. I would definitely recommend Design Builders if you are considering a building project.”

“Having had a small 1960 bach in the Coromandel Peninsula for over 15 years, we love the area and knew that we could have something special there. Jeff and his team at Design Builders listened to our wish list, and helped us bring our ideas together to give us a house we can be proud to have built. Throughout the process from design to completion they were transparent in their communications, having a team that helped hugely with our interior design, and a build team to get us the house we knew we always wanted. A special home we will enjoy living in and sharing with family and friends for many years. David and Susie, December 2023”

“From our first meeting with Jeff to discuss the essential concepts and ideas which we identified for our new build to the handing over of the keys we had a great experience with Design Builders. We were so pleased when our ideas were transformed into a concept plan which we were happy with. Jeff and his team were open to negotiation and adaptations in order to meet our budget and other than any changes we made the budget did not change. All of the Design Builders Team were easy to work with, they kept us fully informed at each step of the build process as well as ensuring that any decisions we needed to make were on time and fully informed. Any problems or issues were easily discussed and resolved with a phone call or a meeting. We were given full access to the building during the process which was exciting to be able to see our home growing on a daily basis. Our house was completed by Design Builders on time and to a high standard, the team worked cohesively and closely with us throughout the process and we were very happy with our house which soon became a home. I can thoroughly recommend Jeff and his team to build your dream home.”

“We discovered Design Builders in 2013 and thought the way they worked would suit the type of home we wanted to build for our family. The inhouse designers and architects were great at listening to our ideas about our site. The building process went very smoothly and the building team were very efficient in how they dealt with any queries that arose. We thoroughly enjoyed the building process and watching the house take shape. Design Builders and their project manager were great at communicating with us. This meant that we could decide on all our products and colours in advance so that there were no hurried or last minute decisions. We are very pleased with the home that we built and still love living in it 10 years later and for many years to come. Brigit and Giles”
