Is there an easy way to sort through all these comments

Hi Helga, I am also new to this site. Press Ctrl and F and type in Manawatu, there will be 9 finds as shown on the right side of computer screen.Click on arrow keys.

Hi, we’re looking at building a house in Palmerston North/Manawatu and have narrowed down our choices to GJ Gardner, Japac and Baillee Construction Ltd. We already have a section (a good one) and just looking for a builder. We are totally new to this whole house building thing and don’t really have any experience. This does not mean we have done a great deal of research but have just gone to what other people have said/recommended. We found Fowlers too expensive and have not gone through the likes of Landmark or Jennian as they be just as expensive. It’s just rather confusing for us at the moment to know how to go about building as some have said go to the likes of GJ and some have said get a plan drawn then get a quote from builders. Really look forward to learning from everyone else’s experience especially for those around the same area.

Built in 09 in tokomaru with Brent o,neill

We are currently building for the second time in Ashhurst, this time ith Fowler Homes. We sought out many companies and the final two we decided between were Fowler Homes and GJ Gardiners. GJs was great and ive heard good things about them but Fowlers gave us exactly what we wanted which is how we made our choice. Japac to me has way too much going on and Baillie’s… well, let’s just say we built with him the first time and not the second.

Hi Rudi, have you chosen who to go with? How is it going so far?

Hi LM what didn’t you like about Baillee Construction?

unsure whether you will get this but could you please elaborate as to what happened with Baillie construction? we may be in a similar position

Hi. Sorry it’s been awhile. We have gone through to Fowler Homes.

The home we built with Baillee construction was when they first established their company. It’s run by a businessman not a builder so really has no idea what’s he’s doing. I don’t want to say too much on here sorry as I’ve in the past been threatened with lawyers re. Slander – even though it’s all true. All I’ll say is if you ask around the Manawatu – you’ll no doubt get ya answer! Not just from clients but contractors too!! Lauzanne15@hotmail.com if you want to talk further. Would be interested to know what’s happened for you…

We had a great experience through Fowler Homes! All the best.

I’ve built with Baillie, my email is illepu@msn.com I’m happy to share my experience
