We are looking to build in Kerikeri – can anyone recommend a good house build company? Or warn us of who to avoid?! We’re after a 4-5 bed home for a family with possible self contained unit / second dwelling on site also. We like Box Homes but not sure if anyone has dealt with them in Kerikeri (or elsewhere in NZ)? We also like Platinum, but the reviews on this site have put us off in a big way!

For the person looking at building with Platinum in the Rodney district. Please I recommend you do not go with Platinum. If you wish to talk about it I am on trice.kings@xtra .co.nz.

Further to Skilled Builder above, this is the new MBIE site. To be honest, I’ve found the new site incredibly difficult to navigate. We link to it off the Building Guide website so have a look at both – here’s ours – http://www.buildingguide.co.nz. And Skilled Builder, have a look too and let me know what you think.
