“Michael Carr and his team at Upper Harbour Builders undertook repairs and improvements on our 100 year old villa in Remuera. We are currently living overseas so most of the comms were by video call or a what’s app group set us for the purpose. We also needed to manage our lovely tenant who stayed in the house with her family during the repairs. Michael did a wonderful job with minimal disruption and outstanding communication throughout. His cost estimates were accurate, and he responded well to us adding to our requirements as we went. If you want a stress free experience, with a reliable outcome, go to Michael at Upper Harbour Builders. ”

“Michael is an outstanding builder and project manager. Michael coordinated every trade imaginable on our complicated project that involved a laundry relocation, substantial drainage improvements and a bathroom revamp. The project was delivered while a busy household was living on site, but completed without feeling any imposition, which is a fine art. The project was delivered with ease and with trades coming and going in sequence and was a pleasure to come home to each day to see the tangible progress. Above all else, Michael is a great communicator, usually responding within minutes on the Whatsapp group - it is so good to know what is happening at all times. We highly recommend Michael and Upper Harbour Builders.”

“This is the second time I have hired UHB to do a renovation for us. The first time was 4 years ago on a kitchen, they did such a superb job on that we asked them again if they could come and change our garage into a flex room. Michael and John do such a great job. They kept to the time frame in days that we were given at the beginning of the project. They do a meticulous job, plus the other trades they supplied during the project were amazing as well. Ant did a fantastic job gib stopping almost to the point of perfection. Plus Brent who was the plumber supplied and was fantastic as well. The job site was always left really clean, which was good as we stayed in the house during renovations both times. Plus the WhatsApp group page over the work period was a great collective way to communicate and made sure everyone was on the same page. I would happily have them back to finish the last part of the renovation, when we have made a decent plan.”

“Our experience with Upper Harbour Builders was excellent. The team did an excellent job in renovating our house in Remuera. They attended to every single detail (from communication with architects to the council) so that we did not have to travel from Hong Kong to monitor the process. We were extremely satisfied with the level of communication. They sent us pictures, reports and updates to keep us well informed on a regular basis. We are extremely happy with the work done on our house.”
