Quotes
From the very first contact with Craig Cogan Builder you are talking with a fully qualified builder and current Licensed Building Practitioner. This means you get to connect with builders who have first hand knowledge of the entire building process from start to finish. You are not simply dealing with a salesperson or a business owner/manager who cannot give you expert advice. Further, we think that using experienced sub contractors is important to an overall high quality job.

TESTIMONIALS
“Because it was our holiday home it was very important to have someone that we could trust to manage the renovation project. Craig kept us up to date with the progress of the build and let us know immediately of any issues that arose. The workmanship was excellent and the project was completed within the expected time frame."
Sue & James Vardy
“The whole process was just easy, everything was on time, went to budget. Craig communicated all the time giving us updates and sending us photos of the progress, all his contractors were great to deal with. The whole process was a pleasure and easy, we would recommend Craig and his team anytime.”
Gordon & Liz Walker
“Just great organisation, kept us informed all the way through the build, great co-operation and made the build easy. It ran to schedule even though the weather was unkind.”
Seamas Walker & Jane Symonds - Waipu
“We wanted to build a one bedroom unit for Jane’s Mum to a budget and within a certain time frame. Craig provided a detailed accurate quote and completed the job on time and within budget. During the build we did some additional work and found the rates charged reasonable and transparent.
Craig was willing to help with suggestions/options and communicated very well, giving us plenty of notice of all the tasks we needed to perform (e.g. choosing colours, materials etc).
He kept the job site clean and tidy throughout the build and completed everything we asked to a very high standard.
We have since hired him to do some additional small jobs and would not hesitate to recommend him to anybody thinking of building.”
Brian & Pat Parr
“We wanted to complete a 40sqm addition to our home in Ruakaka to budget and during the inclement winter months. We chose Craig Cogan Builders because we’re extremely impressed with Craig’s honest, down to earth and flexible approach to all aspects of the job from start to finish. He was easy to communicate with and was very particular with regards to quality of workmanship and punctuality by himself and his sub-contractors.
He was able to complete our job on time and within the budget despite the inclement weather of the winter months.
We would not hesitate in recommending Craig and his company to anyone thinking of building whether is be a large or small job. ”
(Mrs) Bev Brown - One Tree Point
“I have found Craig totally honest (to the extent of lowering the invoice total, compared with the quote, as it came in more economically than anticipated!), with a high standard to building technique. Easy to communicate with, and not backward in suggesting perhaps better ways of approaching something. Craig has done substantial work on three of my properties and I would not use anyone else. His team of workman are polite, friendly and always know what they are doing and enjoy explaining what they are doing. The painter is second to none!
I have no hesitation in recommending Craig Cogan for any building work you may require, he’s great!”
Ian & Christine
“We would recommend involving your builder as early as possible in the design stage as it would save plan changes and extra cost involved.
We appreciated the building and sub trades on our job who were highly skilled, flexible, patient, had great ideas and enthusiasm. It was a pleasure to have Selwyn on site for the build. The end result is an amazing practical and quality home and we would definitely recommend Craig Cogan and his team.”
