Hey Mike We built with Fowler Homes in the end. They are awesome. Can highly recommend.Did a bit of planning with Wood Robson but found them very unaccomodating and didn’t seem to want our business! Jeanian – the salesman put me off the whole process!! Goodluck…

We are building with Jenian and repenting every single day about our decision to go with Jenian. Very disappointed with their services and work. I can go on and on about the harassment they have caused us.

Hi Anonymous There are lots of Jennian franchises around – which one in particular. And generally best not to bag someone with an anonymous ID – you could very well be a local competitor and who would know? cheers

Hi there I actually havent heard anything negative about Mike Greer Homes which I guess is a good thing. I worked in the industry in Tauranga for 4 years and never heard anything bad if that helps at all?

Hi everyone, We are thinking of building a house in Tauranga. It’s very excited to design a house we like. I have drafted the floor plan. We are now looking at a good building company to do the job. We have been to so many show homes and just feel very hard to decide which one to go with. I have also read through all the comments in this website. It seems like each company has problem. Does anyone here have good experience with any building company in Tauranga? Is is possible to talk you and have a look at your house? Thank you very much! Ginnier

Mike Greer are good but Rob Gibson from Central foundations does their slabs. Very dodgy cowboy who did all the sub standard condemned Bella Vista foundations. Beware!!

I hope I’m not too late but please avoid Versatile like the plague! 9 mths overdue and counting on a one room unit on a flat property with error after error and no goodwill left.
