Quote: “From 2008 to current Apteryx Builders have built new houses in Strathmore and Days Bay. These houses were both on challenging, sloping sites. The work needed to be executed to a very high standard and quality. As well as large areas of construction work there was a lot of often very demanding and detailed finishing work required, which all required a high level of building experience and organisational skills to deliver an excellent product in an efficient time. If there were any issues with any aspects of construction Brent was very good at making sure these were sorted quickly.
Brent is clear and honest in his communication and he and his team produced a good result that everybody was proud of. Our dealings with Apteryx throughout the building process from tender to completion have been pleasant and we would be happy to recommend Apteryx Building Ltd for any projects of this type.”
