"Not only did Nick and his team complete a pretty complex job to a high standard, he also effectively managed all the links with a wide variety of suppliers, architect and Council. Very happy with the outcome, and would highly recommend Madison Building."

"Nick and Tyron have completed 3 sizeable projects for me and all of them have been done with great care, quality and precision. The first of these was a bathroom renovation completion which had been on the 'to do' list for many years (it had been left half done years ago). Nick came up with a beautiful design that we are very happy with. The second was to restore a large area of the house that was damaged by the Auckland floods in 2023 and again, the work was done to perfection. Nick takes great care to review the work done by any subbies (painters, plasterers, electricians, plumbers) to be sure it is up to spec. The most recent work was to replace three smaller cedar shingle roofs that overhang our bay windows. The guys did an amazing job on what is quite technical: they are better than when they were first completed! I've had several people stop to ask me who did the work so they could get in touch. I highly recommend Madison Building for any home improvement or building projects."

"We needed some complex work done on a newly acquired property to bring it back to its full potential and Nick was amazing. His team and knowledge and follow through was exceptional. Working to schedule and communication 10/10 so right through the project we knew exactly where we were with no surprises at the end. Nick takes pride in his workmanship and who he has on his team. Highly recommend."

"Nick was recommended to us by others and rebuilt a graduated 24m fence with trellis between our place and our neighbour’s.
The project was well communicated in advance and carried out in a careful and tidy manner. The communication throughout was very professional, especially in writing, providing a lot of reassurance. Nick takes obvious pride in his work and deserves his good reputation."

"Nick is a true professional at what he does. The workmanship is excellent and the care he takes to deliver on time and within budget is top tier. I have done several projects with Nick and his team - some complex and some run of the mill. He exceeds expectations without exception. Further, he truly cares about his customers, their needs and takes time to scope the project and provide informative stats reports throughout the process..I cannot recommend Nick and his team more highly. ( I have to add that he helped me during the frequent flood to secure my property, thereby certain lived a true client- care philosophy and helped when it mattered most.)"

"The job was done to an excellent level. We had to find creative solutions fir complex problems with a rather old building, several water leaks and rotten structures. Nick is great at problem solving and doing quality work that nor only solves the problem, but the end result looks superb and functions well. Nick takes pride in his work, is very approachable and treats his clients with respect by being punctual, communicating clearly throughout and keeping all actions and decisions transparent. It is a joy to work with Madison Building Ltd."

"We thank and highly recommend Nick and the team at Madison Building

Our project - 1910 Mt Eden Bungalow.

As is the case for many renovation projects, our scope initially started as kitchen and bathroom refresh to allow for our property as a first time rental. This changed to a more significant build once we started pulling things apart and explored the potential with the team at Madison Building.

Our property a 1910 bungalow, had all the challenges a home of this age has (it was cold, draught, had rotten timbers, doors and windows requiring replacement, a leaky roof, and nothing plumb), in short in need of a lot of TLC.

Following initial discussions with Nick we quickly managed to pull together a project document, detailing each part of the renovation, dependencies and rough timings/costings. From the get go we were clear on what we wanted as an outcome of the renovation (initially a rental, that in future we could move into if desired) so that helped keep the focus on what was most important for us and the level of work we required. We knew we needed a builder that shared a passion for homes of this era and that they wouldn't be deterred with the work involved once they got underway.

We worked closely with Nick and drew heavily on his expertise to stage the project and identify all the other trades that would be required. Nick made it super easy lending his expertise allowing myself to seamlessly manage and bring in other trades into our project as needed. Nick and his team were flexible enough to work on other areas while trades did their part but were always available for advise or support when these additional trades required it.

Through any building project the prerequisite is the builders expertise in the nature of the job at hand but just as importantly (and often overlooked by many who go for the cheapest option) the team you partner with must be clear in their communication. In this area I feel Nick and his team excel and this easily sets Madison Building apart from other building companies. Right from the onset and through each stage of the project Nick's communication has been clear and concise. My expectations were clearly managed (like everyone I wanted this renovation done and done yesterday) but Nick through open and honest communication shared findings quickly and ensured surprises were kept to a minimum. We remained one step ahead allowing for a better planned project and an end result we are definitely proud of.

Engaging the services of Madison Building was the best choice we could have made for our renovation project.

We cant speak highly enough of Nick and his team. Madison building will no doubt be our go to for all future building works as well as a building company we will be quick to refer."

"Nick built a pergola with roof over an existing spa pool. It was an excellent outcome and the workmanship was top class. He really took the time on what others would rush through to provide a solid and weatherproof enclosure.
I would have no hesitation in using him again if available."

"We undertook a big addition of a living, kitchen and dining room as well as a large hardwood deck and renovations to other parts of the house.
Nick and his crew do not cut corners and pride themselves on producing a quality finish.
Nick managed the job from start to finish using some of our subcontractors and some of his own.
With stage 2 of our Reno next year we will be using his services again!"

"Nick is excellent to work with,reliable, professional, helpful, proactive and incredibly accommodating. He has all the qualities you hope for in an experienced builder and sadly seldom get. He clearly has great support from associated trades to bring projects together really efficiently. He was recommended to me by an excellent painter who has done work for me for years. I have subsequently engaged Nick on several projects, none straight forward and have been totally satisfied with how he has delivered. His billing and accounting have been clear fair and prompt. I can highly recommend him without hesitation. A rare find these days."

"Nick always had the product he required onsite before he started. He was very enthusiastic about the job he was undertaking, never taking shortcuts and always getting the job done on time. Nick always discussed design changes with me and provided multiple solutions.
Nick was very considerate and always undertook any noisey works out of hours so he didn’t disturb the office workers."
