"Very thorough workmanship - and re-checked some time later - also saying I could contact them if anything amiss. Weather was not great for period outdoor work occurred so just extended the period of work. Was given hourly rate up front and monthly invoices very detailed regarding work undertaken and materials purchased/applied. Mark easy to get hold of and kept me updated with where at regarding job. Would recommend."

"Mark has done a few jobs for us now (including a great job on a bathroom renovation) and we keep calling him back as we are so happy with his quality of work, reliability and clear communications.
Most recently, we needed to replace a fold down clothesline and the work required was beyond us. This included removing the old concrete foundations for the support legs and then putting in new foundations and supports along with assembling the whole thing for us.
Job done. Excellent."

"We engaged Mark initially to conduct some external maintenance to our house in Waikanae. At the same time we were looking to get a bathroom renovated and Mark mentioned that he did that type of work as well and could also co-ordinate other contractors as required. We agreed and so Mark commenced to completely renovate the bathroom including a new mains pressure hot water cylinder, shower, vanity/basin, toilet, completely gutted the existing walls and ceilings to allow for installation of waterproof wall linings and arranged for a tiler who also did a great job .Along with the plumber and electrician that Mark works with. Mark also re-worked an adjacent wardrobe that gave us a new hot water /drying cupboard.
Mark did a brilliant job and is a very professional and friendly building contractor.
We thoroughly recommend him."

Mark has just completed another great job for us. This time it was a full revamp of the bathroom and toilet area.
Mark assisted us in choosing the most suitable fixtures and fittings from the styles we had chosen for the revamped space.
As usual, Mark's communication skills, job management, recommended trades people, quality of work, etc. was nothing less than excellent.
Mark is reliable, very knowledgeable and professional in his approach, and always leaves a clean and tidy site.
Thanks Mark - job very well done!"

The damage became apparent early on a Saturday morning prompting a call from us requesting Mark's assistance. Builders were very busy then, and we assumed he would arrive early the following week. Instead Mark visited us the same day to scope out the job. He then completed it the following day (Sunday) with the assistance of a colleague. He impressed us from the start with his dedication, professionalism and commitment to excellent customer service. His rates were also very reasonable. We would recommend Mark unreservedly."

"I have no hesitation recommending MGR building for any renovation or repair work.
Mark undertook a full bathroom renovation for us, as well as some other repair work around the house. This included stripping out our bathroom down to the studs, removing and replacing a linen cupboard and moving an internal wall. This achieved the generous and practically laid out bathroom we wanted. The results look fantastic, and are done to a high standard at a reasonable cost.
Having Mark manage the whole job, including recommending and coordinating tradies, was a great way to go. I found his communication with us to be outstanding, as he was always prompt replying to our queries and kept us up to date with progress throughout the course of the work. We found his common sense problem solving and easy to understand advice great for those of us inexperienced in renovation jobs."

"Mark was one of several builders who we talked to about our bathroom renovation job.
He was the person who gave us the most confidence that he could see what we wanted, understood the cost constraints we had and was able to make this work. Mark met with us to discuss removing an old bath and creating a more usable space in our quite small bathroom.
This included stripping out the walls, reclaiming a wardrobe from one room to create a larger space in the bathroom, removing vanity and bath, replumbing the water and adding heated towel rails, fans, heaters and additional electrical outlets and well as moving the plumbing from one wall to another.
Mark was clear about the costs, listened to our ideas and incorporated them into the plan and produced a wonderful finish to our new bathroom.
We added a new toilet upgrade and he did this seamlessly.
Mark worked with us to choose the best fittings and did so in his own time.
Mark vouched for and oversaw the plumbers/electricians and gave us the reassurance that he was on top of the contractors and their work.
We would employ Mark again when we next look at adding or altering our house in any way.
Billing was weekly and very clear.
In talking with us about another area of the house we had ideas for developing he was honest about the cost versus the return and this was refreshing as it was possible work for him.
Mark was also happy for my wife to help assist him in the build and this sped up the process.
Mark also has a very chilled dog."

Mark did a complete bathroom re-fit for us and while he was here we got a lot of other building maintenance done around the house and property too, which otherwise would have taken us months to achieve. Mark goes above and beyond for his clients, not only on the job but when it comes to advice with selecting material's and what idea's would actually work. He is really good at thinking outside of the box and came up with some great solutions that has helped us upgrade our house nicely. Whatever job you need doing, big or small, Mark is very competent and skillful. Highly recommended."

"My description of the job was to repair/replace a shower. Right from the get-go, Mark was great to deal with. He gave me his honest opinion of the best solution for my shower, and an approximation of what it was likely to cost. He knew straight away how to deal with the fact that my house is a Lockwood, which presents some challenges when it comes to renovations, etc, His estimate of the cost was less than I had expected, and tho, due to reasons beyond his control and mine, the job took longer than we expected, the cost was very reasonable. Communications were excellent from Mark, and he kept in touch every step of the way. Mark is a friendly and polite tradesman, and produces a very professional result. He clearly takes great pride in a job well done, and the shower he found to suit my room is fantastic. Mark is an honest person, and a pleasure to have work done by. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a building job done well, and at a good price. He went the extra mile in every way, and was a pleasure to deal with. Fantastic! So glad I posted this job on No Cowboys!"

He has been reliable, communicated and has done everything to try to keep the costs of the job down. He has explained what he has done, given good advice and his invoice was detailed.

"Mark did a great job in helping us achieve our vision for our renovations, which involved changing the position of interior walls and adding a wardrobe and a staircase. He listened to our ideas and was able to interpret them practically, using his skills and experience, while keeping the budget in mind. Mark was always prompt, friendly, honest and easy to have in the house. We are very pleased with the finished product. The new work is seamlessly integrated into the existing structure and is of high quality in execution. We can highly recommend Mark as a skillful, responsible and reliable tradesman."

"Mark recently renovated our bathroom. His standard of work and customer service was excellent, absolutely faultless. He kept us well informed throughout and let us know of any potential pitfalls and how best to manage them. The plumber, electrician and tiler he recommended were also great. This project felt completely overwhelming when I started thinking about it, but as soon as Mark was on board he managed everything and I felt I could rely on him completely. I have absolutely no hesitation recommending Mark."

"Mark was the only builder that responded to a job I posted with a question and desire to understand a little more about what I really wanted to achieve. He then came out to eyeball it and quote. Not only was he honest to the point of doing himself largely out of the job, he changed my thinking about the work and encouraged me to have a go myself after explaining what he would have done. He was also incredibly flexible about next steps, even offering to come back and give me some more pointers or work together on site if I thought I needed more guidance. Basically a bloody awesome guy, and one who earned my trust and respect to the point where I wouldn't hesitate to contact him directly for more substantial work in the future."

"A fantastic builder. Highest quality work at a great rate. Mark undertook a complex reconfiguration of our Lockwood home, including adding mezzanine floors, building a kitchen with built-in seating area, relocating a bathroom, creating new doorways and much, much more. Throughout he planned the work well, managed the sub contractors, provided good advice, came up with ways to save costs, and worked hard. Most of all, he was 100% accurate about things - always clear about what was going to happen, never vague - costs and timings never moved in the wrong direction and he earned our trust. We cannot recommend him highly enough. Far and away the best builder we've ever used."

"I would not hesitate to recommend MGR Building for any building or renovation work required. Mark and his team were very efficient in their work on my bathroom and completed the work on time and to quality standards. Mark was easy to work with and kept me up to date with each stage of the work. He and his team were very tidy and cleaned up each day before they left. many thanks Mark and the team for a great job."

"We have no hesitation in recommending MGR Building (Mark Robertson) for your building requirements. The problem was basically sagging joists in a flat roofed "rumpus" room built to join our house and garage. I had already engaged engineer consultants to advise on the appropriate solution. Mark visited us within an hour of my first 'phone call. He had the knowledge and confidence to suggest a modified solution, which was accepted by the engineers. I am below average in the DIY area but Mark was nevertheless happy to have me help him when required and I found working with him a pleasure.
Mark arrives when he says he will, and explains what he is doing and any problems he encounters.
His accounting for time and materials is highly detailed and needed no query.
Mark is a most ethical and professional builder and he would be our first preference for any future work."

"Mark Robertson has completed several projects for me around my property both inside and out.
Many of these projects have proved challenging due to my house being built largely of concrete.
Mark has always been willing to tackle projects that other builders would be happier to walk away from.
I have always found him to be punctual .diligent .and thoroughly professional in his approach to the task at hand .Mark takes pride in completing work to a high standard ( a quality which is sadly lacking in many
builders today ) I will happily recommend MGR builders to anyone requiring the services of a tradesman
carpenter of the highest standard ."

"Last year my wife and I wished to replace some of the cladding on our house. We contacted 5 different local builders; two didn't bother turning up, the others came and had a look, and left, never to be seen again.
We saw an ad for Mark Robertson, Builder, and contacted him. Mark was prompt with appointments prior to giving us a quote. He was honest with us about problems that could arise, and gave a choice of options , and approximate start/finish times.
For the duration of the job Mark was courteous and co-operative and where possible suggested ways to save money. We were very happy with the completed job, and would have no hesitation recommending Mark to future clients"

"I have used Mark on several occasions and have been totally impressed with his superb workmanship, professionalism, and attention to detail every time. He is very prompt and efficient, he organised all the subcontractors where required and definitely went the extra mile on many occasions. His input and suggestions were always appreciated. I know I can trust Mark to provide a great quality job, on time and at a competitive price. I would have no hesitation to use Mark again and would recommend him highly to others."

"I was totally impressed by MGR's professionalism and work ethic. I had an issue with some rotten weatherboards on a house I was preparing for sale. I am not the most practical person, so it was good to have Mark explain the what had to be done, what the costs would be (or could be depending on what was found underneath the weatherboards) and to undertake the work on time and on budget. I am extremely happy with the end result. I highly recommend Mark and MGR Building to anyone who requires the peace of mind a reliable, trustworthy, experienced builder can provide."

"I contacted Mark to build a fence with a gate and some concreting work, Mark arranged for another contractor for the concreting.
I was very impressed with the standard of work and Marks obvious pride in the work he did.
I would use Mark again for any other building work in the future.
A pleasant and very helpful man to have been involved with."

"Our first contact with MGR Building was when we built our house, when Mark worked on the build and then did some extra work for us after the build was completed. We found him to be exacting and precise in his work, which was always finished to a high standard. Over the years since then, Mark has done other work for us and we have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him to anyone needing an experienced, trustworthy builder."
