Quotes

Are your quotes free?

Yes. Quotes are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. For most jobs we arrange a time to visit your site so we can see what is involved and price it properly.

How do I get a quote?

You can fill in our quote form (you can attach a photo), call us on 027 431 9797, or send us a message on WhatsApp. Let us know your suburb and what you need done, and send a few photos if you can.

What information helps you quote?

Your suburb, the type of work, rough sizes or measurements, photos of the area and when you would like the work done. The more we know, the more accurate your quote will be.

How do you work out the price?

Every job is different, so we price each one individually. It depends on things like the size of the job, the materials, site access and whether a consent is needed. Your written quote sets out what is included, so you know what you are paying for.

Timeframes

How soon can you start?

That depends on our current bookings and the size of your job. We will give you an expected start date with your quote and let you know straight away if anything changes.

How long will my project take?

It depends on the job. A small repair or fence is much quicker than a kitchen or full renovation, and weather, material supply and consents can all affect timing. We will give you an estimated timeframe with your quote and keep you updated as the work goes on.

What happens if the weather is bad?

Some outdoor work, like concrete, painting and roofing, cannot be done safely or properly in the rain. If the weather holds us up, we will let you know and get back on the job as soon as conditions allow.

Insurance, safety & accreditation

Are you insured?

Yes. We are fully insured with public liability insurance.

Are you a Site Safe Member?

Yes. NZPH Construction Limited is a Site Safe Member, and we follow safe work practices on every site.

Are you an accredited employer?

Yes. NZ Pacific Horizon Limited is an Immigration New Zealand Accredited Employer, which means we are accredited by Immigration New Zealand to employ migrant workers. This is separate from our Site Safe membership.

Do you do insurance repair work?

Yes. We can inspect the damage, prepare a detailed quote for your claim and work with your insurer or assessor. See our insurance repairs page.

Consents & building work

Do I need a building consent?

Some building work needs a consent and some does not. It depends on the type and size of the work. We will talk it through with you when we quote, and if your project needs a consent we can help you through the process.

Who carries out restricted building work?

We work with a Licensed Building Practitioner (LBP) for consented and restricted building work, so it is carried out or supervised by a licensed professional as required.

Do you do plumbing and electrical work?

Plumbing and electrical work is carried out by licensed tradespeople that we coordinate, so you still deal with one team.
