"Hanna Construction built a Master Build Award (2024) winning home for us completed October 2023. From Johns assistance with the section and design and planning of our forever home was invaluable. Ben and his team did a fantastic build that surpassed our wildest dreams. Bens communication and assistance while building was incredibly valuable to the build experience. Ben and John shared their experiences as we navigated the new build from floating stair to Cemental wall, there ideas added skylights, storage areas and a wealth of knowledge and made the build process an enjoyable experience. They are professional, communicate incredible well and nothing was to much trouble. Their standard of workmanship is impeccable. They took and coped with our novice ideas and changes in their stride while offering there experience and expertise. I can not recommend them highly enough in any alterations, building projects or new builds. Nothing was to much trouble and they were fantastic to work with and if we ever needed to build again they would be the top of our list. Hanna Construction for professional trustworthy workmanship assured."

"John and the team at Hanna Construction did an excellent job replacing the roof beams, cladding and interior lining of our property recently. I highly recommend them. They are highly experienced and have been extremely helpful with planning and carrying out this work, making helpful suggestions of additional improvements to incorporate as part of the build process. John also recommended and managed subcontractors for the build project who did a great job of finishing all work to a very high standard. There was great communication from John throughout. The work was completed within the planned time frame and we are very pleased with the final result."

"We’ve had Ben and his crew do work out our place 4 times now.
Work has included various internal and external areas - internal and external entrance work, new external stairway, door installation (both internal and external) and new ceiling construction.
Never had an issue with quality of work.
What sets Ben apart is his communication - always able to assist with planning, very reliable in terms of project delivery and you are always aware of what is happening and when. And his team always follow through on the expectations given."

"Hanna Construction Ltd were engaged by our client to upgrade an architecturally listed house in Raumati. As a high degree of finish and detailing was required, sympathetic to mid century modern, John Hanna not only delivered but exceeded our expectations. This was also achievable by him bringing together an expert team of 'craftsman' contractors.
With every project, communication is key. We received weekly reports, photographs, and programming updates which were extremely important and useful for us (the architect) and client in monitoring the project.
This, being our first project with Hanna Construction has been an absolute pleasure. We look forward to working with John and the team again. Congratulations gentlemen for a wonderful project successfully delivered."

"We contacted Hanna construction in 2019 to help us plan a complete renovation of our home in Whitby. Being a large early-90's house, which had been neglected for a number of years, we knew that it would be a massive undertaking - and we wanted to be sure that it would be done to a high standard. Ben, John, and the Hanna crew didn't disappoint. Hanna Construction project managed and - even with the added challenge of Covid Lockdowns through 2020 - got us in our new home for Christmas. We were clear with Ben and John from the start that quality and attention to detail was our primary focus, and I can't fault their work. They even suggested some adjustments and refinement to our original plans, that have made it even better. Overall cost for the project did come in higher than we had expected, however Ben provided good detail and clear breakdowns for these variations (justifiable given the unknowns) and ultimately we're extremely happy with the finished result. One year on and the house is still perfect. Thanks to Ben, John, and the Hanna crew."

"Hanna Construction have recently completed repair work and an upgrade to the dining room and kitchen in our home. John Hanna gave valuable advice and ideas on the window replacement and new kitchen installation, working with us and the window and kitchen manufacturers.
Building work to repair the flooring, new double glazed window, sliding door and sliding kitchen window were installed that opened to the deck. The deck was part of a landscape project completed by Hanna Construction 5 years ago and it has been a great addition to our outdoor living areas.
We appreciate John's problem-solving skills and trustworthiness.
Thank you, all at Hanna Construction for your excellent customer service and workmanship, we highly recommend your company."

"We were looking for a licenced building contractor to carry out alterations at home. We obtained 3 quotes. All were within an acceptable range, but we decided to go with Hanna Construction. While not knowing John personally, but as a retired self-employed builder for over 20 years, I was aware of his reputation over many years in the suburbs I had worked in, so we were pleased to accept their quote. Meeting John and Ben we were impressed at the way they encouraged our input and gave explanations on how they planned to tackle the work.
Ben was always available throughout the project to help with questions as they arose. His staff were always pleasant tidy and helpful while on site.
Another appeal to us was their employment of apprentices. With our building backgrounds we appreciate companies like Hanna’s contributing to the maintaining high standards in the building industry.
When making progress payments they always came to us at home and went through the costs to date and any variations or credits we had previously agreed on.
The longevity of their business is testament to the well managed business they operate."

"Approached Hanna Construction to investigate a leak in the wall for my house built in the 70s.

Ben gave ideas on troubleshooting. With the results of the initial investigation, he gave a detailed plan to fix the wall. Also suggested things that I can consider to improve the condition of the house while scaffold was up.

The work was carried out and completed on time in Aug, even with the improvements. Heatpump was back in service on the 3rd day after it was disconnected, just like John said.

It was clear communication from Ben and John. I was away at work most of the time, and didn't have to worry about the repair, with Ben project managing and his team carrying out the work.

Now not only the wall is repaired (re-cladded), it has been upgraded with new double-glazed windows, new insulation etc. The house exterior also painted - thanks to Ben who suggested to repaint the exterior of the whole house while scaffold was up, and found good painters who did a tidy job. The re-painting was also kind of due, as the last painting might have been done 11-12 years ago.

Thank you very much Ben, John and your team, and the contractors that you worked with, to have this work done so properly!"

"Ben and his team were great to work with when they did our entrance and kitchen renovation. Their communication throughout the process was superb. We knew what was happening, and when it was going to happen. They were flexible to our needs, and we were certainly happy with the end price. I would definitely recommend them, and plan to utilise them in future when we have our next project."

"Very happy with Hanna Construction.
I had obtained four quotes for the alternation of our garage (into office + bedroom). Hanna is not the cheapest one but their quote was presentaed in details with Master Builders guarantee. I am glad I had chosen them.
I have always been updated on the process; work delivered is in high quality (according to both the Inspector and my builder friend); no cutting corners; stick to the design and specification; completed the entire job on time. Plus the site was kept amazingly tidy.
Would definitely engage them in the future."

"John and Ben project managed and completed a huge renovation for us last year. Virtually every internal wall in our 3 storey house moved. They built a new multi-level stair-well, all new windows, new roof, new cladding, central heating, new bathrooms, kitchen, earthworks, new decks - you name it, they did it! They and all of their great crew were a pleasure to work with; extremely reliable, great communication, and fantastic workmanship. They worked really well with our architectural plans - when necessary they were able to make changes on-site, nothing phased them, and they introduced their own great ideas that have added real value. With their great project management skills, the whole process was as stress-free as a huge building project can be! They genuinely cared about the home they were building for our young family and we had some great laughs along the way.
We now have the most amazing home thanks to John, Ben and their great team - can't recommend them highly enough."

"After a turbulent life during which my home has been my sanctuary and therefore so much more than a house, I needed extensive restoration done. Hanna construction was recommended and after awkward and time consuming work was complete I felt moved to put my grateful thanks on paper. The "boys", Ben and his team worked as I've never seen before or am likely to see again. A smooth, efficient operation with teamwork being to the fore. The constant tidy-ups which are inevitable on a building site were done at the end of each day, meticulously, the attention to detail was mind-blowing and Ben, your organisational skills with other subcontractors was seamless. When Ben wasn't available John stood in so work glided on. The detailed communication Ben kept up with me was extensive and I was, at all stages, kept fully in the picture. I could go on forever but suffice it to say I can't speak highly enough of you all and will shout your name from the rooftops. Oh, and there will always be hokey pokey biscuits here for you. Thanks SO much Ben and team. Marian Beach. Kapiti Coast"

"Hanna Construction were engaged to replace our timber single glazed windows with new aluminium double glazed units. John and the team were professional and made sure all our questions were answered along the way.

During the course of the project we had the lads do some other repair work around the home and this wasn't and issue with John scoping it well and talking about potential risks before commencing work.

Throughout the work, the lads on site were tidy and professional and were able to work around my partner and two young boys.

At the end of the work John made sure we were happy with all aspects before finalising the invoice. We would 100% recommend Hanna Construction to anyone in the market for a reputable firm.

Thanks John and the team."

"John Hanna Construction have recently completed building and landscaping work on our home, we are extremly impressed with the results.

Our home sits close to the street, the lounge lacked privacy despite the garden and trees.

It was sugested that we take out the window and insert sliding doors out onto a new deck with appropriate balistrade and a new boundary fence.

We approached John of Hannas Construction for ideas .

John came up with a brilliant design working around existing trees. His crew completed the decking, replaced the windows with sliding door, built the fence, removed a garage window replaced and remodeled the steps leading to front door enhancing the entrance, and created a stunning boardwalk at the gate entrance to side of the house.

All the carpentary, landscaping, and his subcontractors work have been completed to a very high standard, a high quality finish and an eye to detail.

The entrance to our home is much enhanced, our lounge is now private with a wonderful deck reaching out under the trees

We extremly happy and proud of the finished project and we thorougly recommend John and his crew."

"We had a large alteration completed 2 years ago by Hanna Construction. The work involved a new roof, recladding, sky lights, new windows, altered stair well, new main entrance, new ceilings. The work was undertaken during winter months which provided challenges around weather. Hanna construction managed this process extremely well. Through out the process we were kept informed, the project ran to budget. The staff were friendly skilful and efficient. Our 1973 home has been transformed into a modern, elegant home."

"We've used Hanna Construction Ltd three times now and thought it was about time we left some feedback. In summary: we highly recommend John and his boys. They are professional, efficient and do a great job. Hanna Construction are our first choice when considering work on our 100 year old villa. John has an eye for detail, great advice about what and how restoration work should be done and good reliable contacts.

For the first job we asked John to replace rotten weather boards around the house. On the first day the boys found a nail through the water supply which had rotted a few of the studs. They fixed the problem on the same day and moved on. When repairing the back wall, they found that the bottom plate had completely disintegrated due to contact with ground moisture and the wall compromised. Not a problem, they rebuilt the wall (installing insulation and tidying up the plumbing at the same time). The boys worked hard getting the job completed just in time for the winter weather.

The second job we asked John to do was to rebuild our retaining wall that failed during the winter storms. Upon requesting John's services his foreman was onsite measuring up the site at 6am the next day. These guys don't hang around. John did a fantastic job of dealing with an outsourced insurance company who were trying to cut corners. We were very impressed with both the speed at which the wall went up and quality of the workmanship.

Whilst redecorating one of the rooms we found that the southern corner of the house was letting in water and corner studs had been compromised. The boys had replaced corner studs and double flashed the corner within half a day. Did I mention these boys don’t hang around?

I’d personally like to thank Hanna Construction Ltd for all the hard work they’ve put into our house and feel that John and his team have really delivered the maximum value for our money."

"I engaged John Hanna Construction Ltd in early 2013 to undertake remedial work to my 1920’s character home in Thorndon. They came highly recommended by our building inspector.
Hanna Construction was asked to re-hinge 26 windows, replace the flashings and repair some rotting timber.
My overall experience with John Hanna Construction was first class. John Hanna under promised and over-delivered on all aspects of the job. His team were some of the most professional tradesmen I have encountered. They were friendly, courteous and polite, hard working and at the end of the day, left the place tidy and safe. This was important to us as we have an 18 month toddler who loves to play outside in the evenings and weekends. The safety aspect dawned on me when I had another tradesman working on site at the same time as Hanna Construction. At the end of the day, the other tradesman had left unused staples and insulation fluff around the front and back yard which was a hazard just waiting to happen while Hanna’s builder left our place clean, tidy and most importantly safe.
I am no builder but I can spot a shoddy job a mile off. The quality of workmanship by Hanna Construction was very good and I could not fault anything they did (my wife has a hawks eye when it comes to finishing detail). The final price that came in was per their quote despite Hanna using his own scaffolding to complete our job sooner than expected at no extra cost to me.
Overall, I would (and have) recommending them to others in Wellington needing a quality Master Builder who is customer focussed and does a great job."
