“I would like to take the opportunity of saying a few words about Bay Builders and their performance on my spec house in Kerikeri. Firstly I live in London and the first time I meet Bevin was when the roof was going on the house. I trusted Bevin completely to do the job, based on nothing but phone conversations. I found that the quality of the workmanship was excellent, Bevin’s communication with me on the other side of the world was excellent and there were no cost overruns. I endorse his work without hesitation. If you don’t use Bay Builders, then best of luck with your build process. If you do use Bay Builders, you won’t need any luck.”

“We had our house built by Bay Builders in 2009. They helped us to design the perfect plan for us that was within our budget. From there right through to completion, every stage was so well managed that we can honestly say it was completely stress free. Bevin was always very easy to contact and his communication with us was excellent. Bevin and his team did a fantastic job and I would highly recommend Bay Builders to everyone.”

“We can’t speak highly enough of Bevin MacCarthy and Bay Builders. After they built our Opito Bay home 7 years ago, we had no hesitation in going back to them for our recent additions. With our previous experience of excellent workmanship, communication, top organisation, honest, fair and helpful dealings with Bevin and his team, we could not consider using anyone else.”
