Client Feedback
"I have already lost count of the number of people who have commented positively on the craftsmanship and quality of our new build. And we 1000% agree with them. From the cedar cladding, the clean lines of the deck and the detailing on the architraves and ceiling, this has been quality workmanship throughout. Most impressive was getting the tradies here on time - and on budget too! Not an easy task in Rotorua. We are super happy and would definitely recommend Rhys and the Upfront Builders team for any future work. Also, Rhys is an accomplished ultra marathon runner - so you know he's not afraid of a hard day's work!"
Paul Charteris
"Upfront Builders worked on a large Renovation of our home in Rotorua, we both found Rhys and the team proffessional and reliable, it was a difficult and techincal job, Rhys had the skills to finish the project on time and to a high spec, he had a great relationship with the local regulatory agencies which helped with a difficult project. I have no hesitation in recommending Upfront Builders, and would use them again without question in the future."
Blair Van der maas
"Highly organised and professional team who live up to their name and communicate well. We couldn’t be more happy than to recommend Upfront Builders. They responded to our urgent need immediately and the job was completed on-time soon afterwards. 5 stars plus, from Phil and Jenny."
