Review for new build in Rotorua (a bit late but better than never) I project managed my parents’ house build in the Lynmore area in 2015 and the builder John Stevens was amazing. I live in Wellington so had to manage remotely. John called me every few days and had great, direct and honest communication. Project was on time and relatively on budget. There was a massive issue with the house plans being too low leading to the lake views being impacted. John acted fast, spoke to the architect (not in house) and put options on the table with estimates. He did this many times when there were issues that inevitably happen during a build. He’s a straight talking no nonsense builder, which is why we trusted him. Downright good kiwi bloke.
