Hi, I’m currently looking at building with Golden Homes Whangarei franchaise. I’ve build with GH in Auckland and while the process is loooong, I think they do a good product for the money. This time I’ll be building in Kerikeri and they’ve stated that the build will be $10K more expensive because of transportation of materials and travel costs. I accept this because I figure most building companies do the same but build in the costs. Has anyone any comments good or bad on Golden Homes Whangarei?

Hi Cate, Sounds like we are in a very similar boat to you. We are living in Auckland, building in Kerikeri and talking with GH Whangarei- would love to compare notes. If you want to email me on sashafrasernathan@gmail.com

I can recommend Fowler Homes Whangarei. They do work in Kerikeri. I’ve just built with them and am pleased with the result.

Hi Cate, We are planning to build with Golden Homes, Auckland. I see that you said they took long time to complete the build. Can you please tell me how long did they take? And can you provide me the name of the builder. Thanks, Sujatha

We had a bad experience with Fowler Homes in Queenstown recently and the Fowler Homes head office was no help. There is no backup if things go wrong. The tv advertisement says you can trust Fowler Homes, but they were not interested in us and did not seem interested in making sure their franchise-holders do a good job.
