Testimonials for a great Mangawhai Building Company

In January 2009, we contracted Phil Thompson of Coastal Homes 2002 Limited to build our house; ply and batten with a verandah on two sides. We feel that we have made an excellent choice in using this company. Phil, his staff and the contractors that he uses have been totally professional and skilled, and their attention to detail has been outstanding. The build has been completed, on time and too budget, and what can be a stressful project for some has been for us, a most enjoyable and happy experience.ï¿½

My wife and I recently commissioned the building of a new home in Mangawhai. We engaged Coastal Homes for this purpose, and I write in support of Mr Thompson and his business. My comments concern three important aspects. Our experience of Phil as a team leader. Our opinion of him as a builder. His approach to business and his customers. Further afield, comments made and opinions offered have been praiseworthy, I have found no exception. Customer satisfaction is of the greatest importance to him. We built our home without the services of a registered architect, but Phil and his team were of great support along the way when our own input was not always adequate. He ran the programme with quiet authority and efficiency. We were impressed by his sympathetic but firm management of those working for him. All of these factors have lead to our high regard for Coastal Homes in general and for Phil Thompson in particular. The business is already in high demand. I make these comments with pleasure, and I wish Phil and his business continuing success. It is well deserved.ï¿½

“Coastal Homes undertook extensive re-building of our holiday property in 2006. We handed our architect’s plans over to Phil Thompson and he ran the whole project for us including permits, sign offs etc. The quality of work and sub-contractors was of the highest standard and a couple of minor follow ups were dealt with speedily and efficiently. During the building process Phil’s input enhanced the original plans and we have been extremely happy with the results.”

I chose Coastal Homes to build my home in 2007 and I am more than happy with the service and standard of work received. Phil Thompson offered sound and practical advice and incorporated this in with my own ideas to design the house plan. I have built before and found it to be a stressful exercise but with Phil coordinating and organising the entire build, I could see the project was in good hands. Any hiccups were dealt with efficiently and professionally. Phil was in constant contact with me to ensure my needs were being met. I would recommend Coastal Homes to anyone who is building a small beach house to a large architecturally designed home with no hesitation.ï¿½

“I have no hesitation in recommending Phil Thompson and his team at Coastal Homes for any building work in relation to new homes and or alterations. Phil built our holiday home in Mangawhai some four years ago an experience that was both enjoyable and stress free on our behalf. In many situations like ours one deals with the owner of the company such as Phil and the real work is done by the builders onsite .Phil takes charge but we also found his builders both experienced and professional We required three things when contracting Coastal Homes, to stay within budget and consult along the process, to stay within the agreed timeline and finally complete honesty in all transactions. Its my pleasure to advise Phil and his team over achieved in all three areas. As a mate of mine once said, if you are spending all that money building you have to enjoy it, Phil straight shooter that he is helped us achieve this end goal.”

Just a brief note of thanks for building us a really great Bach in Mangawhai. It’s better than we expected, the attention to detail and general fit and finish is excellent and as a bonus it was finished on time and on budget. A couple of my friends who knew we bought the section late last year commented that I must be a great project manager to get it all done so quickly. I had to confess that it was you and your team that did all the work and there was no project management on my side at all. We also appreciated the sound advice along the way to make sure we tweaked our layout to work just that bit better. You made it all seem very straight forward, the occasional photo along the way was a great touch and there were no dramas or upsets. As a result we have already recommended you to a couple of people we know, and would be happy for you to show our place to prospective customers (with some prior notice of course) if you need. Please pass on my thanks to your guys on the ground that did a great job.
