"I recently had my bathroom renovated and couldn’t be more pleased with the results. Built Rite did a wonderful job, finishing the project on time and within the agreed budget, which was a huge plus for us!
What really stood out was Dan's attention to detail, knowledge and level of work. He was always punctual, extremely tidy throughout the process, and kept me informed throughout the project. Our new bathroom looks wonderful. On top of all that to come in within budget made this a great experience for us from start to finish.
Dan Sothern of Built Rite did a wonderful job in renovating our bathroom. I can highly recommend this individual for anyone looking for a reliable, respectful, and extremely capable builder for your bathroom.
Thank you Dan - we are loving our new bathroom."

"Dan is the tradesperson that you come to No Cowboys hoping to find! After having a bad experience with another company several years ago, we were looking to do a complete overhaul of our bathroom, stripping it right back to the framing.
Dan did a fantastic job of making sure every step during the project was executed smoothly and to a very high standard, whilst patiently discussing different options with me along the way. The end result is absolutely stunning, and definitely the most beautiful and structurally sound part of our house.
I highly recommend Dan to anyone who is looking for someone reliable, capable, and with an eye for detail.
Thanks again Dan, we love our bathroom!"

"Dan removed a non-structural internal wall, and also created a new wall (dividing a room) and hung a couple of doors. The job also required working together with an electrician for parts of it, which Dan organised.
Dan communicated well about what was happening, and completed the job to a high quality standard, cleaning up well at the end of the job. He even gave some building tips to our young son who was very interested in what Dan was doing!"

His eye for detail was exceptional, his project management professional and the quality could not be faulted by all those involved. The job was done on time, and within the estimated quotes. He is a one stop shop and I can personally say, don't shop around, you won't find better."

I couldn't recommend BRC enough, Dan made the whole thing a lot less stressful with good communication, a little of project management and coordination with other tradesmen and advices. Job was under budget so quite happy about that.
If you need a good builder, you need BRC"

"Dan and his team have recently completed the renovation of two bathrooms for us. We are very happy with the renovations which were completed for less then the estimate.
Dan is very approachable and easy to work with, as are his team - all work was of a very high standard.
Dan's estimate for the job was very detailed and clear and his invoices were, also. He provided us with access to his trade account at the plumbing supplier, so we got the benefit of trade discounts.
Much of the work was done while we were overseas, requiring Dan to manage access for his team and ensure security of the property. We had confidence that this would be done, which proved to be the case.
I can highly recommend Dan for quality bathroom renovations."

"Dan helped us with our new kitchen - our first major renovation of many to come. Every step of the way was straight forward and easy. He was there when he said he would be, he understood what we wanted (even when sometimes we didn't really understand ourselves!), he co-ordinated all the trades and everything came in at the cost he had estimated.
Most importantly for us he was readily available and willing to answer all our questions and queries and was happy to help with things that didn't really need to be his responsibility, but helped the job run smoothly.
There are a few more projects to come on the house and he will be our first call every time.
All I can say is thank you."

"Many thanks to Dan for his superb work on my house to prepare it for sale. He completed a bathroom renovation, a full kitchen renovation (including demolishing the existing wall between kitchen & dining area), and partial deck rebuild. I gave Dan a tight deadline and he seemingly effortlessly completed the building work while also expertly project-managing his skilled team of sub-contractors (plumber, sparky, tilers, etc). Everything was smooth-sailing and problem-free - and the final results are so good I'm now reluctant to sell! Dan is a top-quality builder and highly recommended."

I've never met a tradesman with such good communication skills, flexibility, eye for detail and level of finish. Also all the other people Dan uses (plumber, tiler, electrician) also match his high standards. Totally happy with the results and it still looks as good as new 6 months later."

Dan has installed a set of French Doors for us - removing existing windows and installing the doors and fittings.

"Late last year we got in touch with Dan based on his no cowboy rating to look at replacing our large deck with an even larger deck. Right from our first meeting with Dan we got a great feeling about his abilities and approach. Dan commenced work on the deck at the beginning of this year and throughout the whole process we have been very impressed with his level of communication, quality of work, advice and patience with us as we worked through various options and changes as they came up. Even our kids loved having Dan around the place and Dan was very concious of having a kid-safe work area.. The finished deck is exactly what we wanted and it is the envy of our friends and family. If you look at the photos of the outside area examples on his web site they are very accurate in regards to the build and finish quality we got with our deck. In summary, we couldn't be happier!"

"Echoing the comments made by Dan's other customer's below, there's not much more to add!
Reliable, exceptionally tidy, friendly, accommodating, organised!
Dan undertook the first of our newly purchased house renovation projects - our bathroom. His quality workmanship saw a tired and dated separate toilet/bath, rebuilt into an amazing new combined bathroom.
Dan and all the trade staff that he organised and co-ordinated made sure their work was first class.
Quotes and Estimates for all components were accurate and we had no surprises which is always great with "major cost" rooms such as bathroom etc.
We are looking forward to our next reno plans - kitchen and decking projects being handled by Dan."

"Following a recent purchase of our home on the North Shore, we planned a major interior renovation. The kitchen and upstairs bathroom were to be completely stripped and refurbished. The main bedroom had internal walls changed to accommodate a walk in wardrobe. We knew how important it would be to select a Master Builder with the ability to plan, prepare and coordinate all the sub-contractors that were required. We found Dan Sothern of Built Rite Construction by reviewing the “No-Cowboys” web-site.
Early planning meetings were held. Dan listened to our ideas and always advised if he felt there was a better way to accomplish the result. He also advised ways and means where work could be completed more efficiently which resulted in cost savings.
The team is only as good as its weakest link and Dan has a great team of tradesmen including tilers, plumbers, electricians, painters/wallpaper and handymen that are involved in this type of renovation. During the project (March/June 2013) it became clear that he takes great pride in his workmanship and ensures his team follows his lead.
Dan showed honesty and integrity with his chargeable hours. He also always made sure the work area inside was cleaned up after each work day.
We have no qualms in recommending Dan and his team’s services to anyone that requires a quality professional renovation project completed."

"Dan was a fantastic to hire and patient with my questions. He is very knowledgeable and provided advice on a number of options to complete the job. What I found especially good was that he managed sub-contractors for us to complete other specialist work.
The job was critical structural for house and drains.
Dan kept us informed throughout the process. We have a lively 5 year old so was happy that he kept the work area tidy both during and after the finish.
We are planning our next jobs and Built-rite will be our first point of call.
Thanks Dan."

"Dan built a new bathroom/laundry for us as well as completely renovating our other bathroom. He was very thorough and in the process of prepping the laundry uncovered a rotten floor in our kitchen as the result of some work done by another less reputable building company (Buildspace) 2 years ago. As the leak was not able to be detected through the outside Dan\'s thoroughness meant that we discovered the problem before we literally fell through the floor and he worked with us, Buildspace and the Insurance company until we got a resolution even though this held him up from other jobs. Dan was incredibly professional, transperant, engaged the right professionals at the right time and works to a very high standard. The tradespeople that he bought in were of an equally high standard. I would recommend him to anyone and am happy to provide pictures of our bathrooms should anyone want to see the quality of his work."

Dan is pleasant, gets a job done satisfactorily, isn\'t out to rip you off and (unlike a lot of other builders I\'ve known) is easy to contact, keeping you informed, turning up when he says he will and isn\'t stingy with his time. He also has a good team of contacts to get you sorted out for all kinds of things around the house.
We would definitely use Buitrite again."

He met all the criteria of quick to respond, reliable, honest and hard working.
I have already recommended him to another friend and would not hesitate putting more work his way. No job was "too small" and his attention to detail was spot on.
Dan is now the guy we would call as our builder/handyman."
