Master Builders - Finding a Construction Company That Stands Out

There are many things that make a building company in New Zealand stand out from another. One of the most notable differences is whether they have registered master builders and offer the Master Build Guarantee.

This guarantee essentially protects you against:
- Loss of deposit
- Non-completion
- Defective workmanship
- Rot and structural defects
- Builders whom are unable or unwilling to correct their work

To be covered by this guarantee however you must first ensure you fill in the necessary documents with your builder and send these into Master Build Services. This document will then be approved by the Master Build Service and you can expect to receive an acceptance letter within a fortnight of applying. Like any legal document it is important that you familiarise yourself with the terms and conditions contained within the guarantee.

The Master Build Service is who you should contact if you come across any work problems with your Master Builder during the construction of your house. It is recommended you contact them before you deposit any future payments.

There are three different guarantees available to you:
1) The 10 Year Premium Guarantee
2) The 10 Year Classic Guarantee
3) The 7 Year Guarantee

You can find detailed information about each of these offerings on the official Master Builders website.

Sustainability is another consideration that can make a building company stand apart from the others. Any company that offers sustainable building options should be at the top of your list of considerations. This can include reducing waste during the construction process, providing products and features in the home that add to its ability to sustain itself now and in the future, and utilising materials that minimise harmful effects on people and the environment.

A guaranteed move in date is an equally important consideration when building a new home. A company that can supply statistics about the success rate of completing a project on time will help you determine the reliability of the company. Efficiency and attention to detail should be a main focus of a building company that you can trust. Look for a company that is on top of current industry innovations, that is not afraid to make a change to their system when new developments are introduced in the industry.

With the assurance of a Master Build guarantee and selecting a building company based on considerations such as sustainability and a guaranteed move in date, you will be one step closer to realising your new house goals.
