Hi All,
My wife and I are looking to build our first home. Currently looking at GJ Gardner Wellington and QualityNZHomes. It would be awesome if anyone can share some comments or experiences on these builders.
Cheers,
Bob

Hi Bob,
My Partner and I are building with Jennian Homes in Wellington. Whilst we have had a few disagreements and minor issues as we progressed, everything has been resolved satisfactorily and agreeably.
My only suggestion is that if you are wanting to build something that is not a standard build, then make sure that whichever company you build with can do a Bespoke build… Jennian claim to, but we ended up needing to monitor it very closely to make sure that they got it right.
In regards to Jennian, they are really busy at the moment with multiple builds on the go, but if you use one of their standard designs and don’t change too much inside, then you should get a good outcome.
Oh and if you find my other comments, you will see that I don’t work for Jennian, just like to be completely honest and fair.. well as much as I can anyway.
Good luck and send me a reply if you’d like to contact me directly to talk about our build. I won’t post my email here as it identifies me and my build is not yet finished….
Bryan
