Built By Vision Ltd
Builders in Blockhouse Bay

"Riki and his team recently demolished and rebuilt a new roof system for an old garage which had been neglected for at least 40 years. The old roof had rusted through, had holes in the wall plates and was generally pretty beat up. They came in, provided a very competitive quote and began work within the week. They also managed to work around all the gear stored in the garage with minimum disruption and had the whole thing dried in with a large tarp to deal with Aucklands annual "100 year rain event".

Highly recommend their workmanship and general no-nonsense work ethic. Would love to have them back for more work in the future."

"Made an enquiry about water proofing and repair of some water damage in a lower-level cupboard. Ricki came over and discussed and recommended plan of action. Followed up for quote soon after the visit, Ricki provided the quote, and his team commenced work the next day and completed the following week due to weather. Good communication throughout and pleasant and friendly team. Have already discussed other small maintenance work to be done with Ricki."

"We recently had the pleasure of working with Ricki from Built by Vision and we can't recommend him highly enough! From the very first meeting he was punctual and professional which set a positive tone for the entire project. He was reliable, honest and took pride in his work.
We needed a number of different jobs resulting from the weather event in 2023. Including removing doors, ceiling, replacing windows and walls, jacking up the house and gibbing in preparation for painting. He organised and oversaw the scaffolding and roofers and replaced batten and board where needed. Some of these jobs only became apparent as work was being done and Ricki provided advice, solutions and nothing was a problem.
He ensured the work area was clean and tidy at the end of everyday which made a huge difference in minimizing disruption to our daily lives.
Ricki communicated every step of the way, keeping us informed about timelines, requirements and any potential changes.
Overall, if you're looking for a builder who is not only skilled but also reliable, honest and clearly takes pride in his work look no further than Built by Vision. Ricki’s not finished with us yet, he will be back shortly to build a new deck and put in retaining walls and supporting pylons under the house."

"We contacted Ricki to repair 2 verandahs, needing some roof posts, joists and decking replaced. He was quick to respond, visit, and gave a reasonable quote. Very early on in the job, we discovered some rather scary problems in the walls next to the deck. Ricki was an absolute star. Although there was a lot of extra work involved, he was willing and able to do the repairs one by one as they came to light. He was conscientious about doing it well, and explained it well, and improved the waterproofing so that the problem should never happen again. He even checked around the rest of the house’s perimeter to ensure there were no more unpleasant surprises waiting. Highly recommended!"

"Ricky’s services were outstanding from the get-go. His communication was the best I have ever come across in this industry. He worked around our change in the starting date with ease. He came over twice before starting the job to make sure we were on the same page. He re-floored our kitchen and passageway, and it looks fabulous. A member of his team, Dave, re-carpeted our living area and it too looks fabulous. Ricky was quiet and unassuming, and worked meticulously. Highly recommend and will definitely use his services again!"

"If you're looking for "business as usual" tick box attitude Rick and his team are probably not the best fit. On the other hand, if you are after a flexible competent contractor who actually listens and works with a client we couldn't recommend Rickie more. Our house was built in the sixties and as usual older homes are full of surprises. Did everything go as planned? No, but Rickie found a way to make things work. Nothing was too much trouble and he kept a close eye on the project throughout. He came through again and again and it's clear he cares about his customers. After getting 4 quotes for our job we just felt he was the best fit and we were right. We've lined him up for more work in the future. Thanks Rickie, AJ, Tonga and Soloman"

"Ricki and his team built did quite a few jobs at our home over several months. The biggest being a new kwila deck and stairs. All of the team were friendly, trustworthy, considerate and easy to have around. I really appreciated their honest advice and the thought that was put into everything they did. I liked the extra details they included such as picture framing of the deck and stairs which turned them from being good to stunning. Every visitor who has come to our house since we have had the work done has commented on how amazing they look. We'll be happy to have them back again when it's time to replace the deck on the other side of our house. 🙂"
