Testimonials

  • Richard’s and his team are very professional and they have the ability to make a project enjoyable! Every challenge is discussed and thoughtfully resolved. Richard built our beach house which is four hours drive away [from Taupo] – not being on-site meant that we had to have full trust in his decision making and work ethic. We couldn’t be happier with the result.

  • Rich and his team built our new home in Taupo. From the moment we met Rich we knew we had a winner. Rich is a true gentleman with amazing patience and attention to detail. He has surrounded himself with a fantastic team who have been a pleasure to work with. Nothing was ever too much effort. We would not hesitate to recommend The Craftsmen to any prospective clients. You will get a quality home.

  • Richard Stewart is a true craftsman. Building a dream home can be a challenging experience - but not with Rich and his team - Lynden and I enjoyed every moment of our 12-month build! From very early on we realised we could trust Rich to work through problems, innovate and adapt as the building progressed. Lyndon and I would highly recommend Rich and his team.

  • Rich and his team are not your “run of the mill” builders. These men are craftsmen! Their attention to detail is incredible, their initiative and common sense refreshing, and the finished result really impressive. Nothing has been a “hassle” – any issues have been sorted with no stress involved!
