Best Nest competed a complex, multi-stage and high end build for me on a challenging location at Muriwai Beach. Communication was excellent from start to finish. The Project Manager allocated to the job showed incredible passion and enthusiasm and treated the build as if he was building his own home. Best Nest also came up with ideas to achieve the architects objectives while also achieving cost savings. The whole property was used to maximum efficiency incorporating practical ideas to get the most livability out of the space. I would definitely use Best Nest again for another project.

Once again, the Best Nest team has delivered an outstanding result on another project. The final outcome and attention to detail are truly exceptional

We have a 1928 3 bedroom bungalow (with sleepout) in Mt Albert that needed a complete renovation and in hindsight, we really didn't appreciate what we were in for.
It was our first home renovation and we were new to the experience and needed a building company that would walk us the through the process and help us with ideas and suggestions as we went through it. Our renovation including bathrooms, kitchen, moving windows, installing french doors, skylights, sound-proofing - the whole 9 yards.
We engaged Best Nest Building in October 2019 to be our builders and also project manage the build. What we particularly liked was how practical they were with advice, patient with our queries and flexible with our requests - especially as the job evolved and turned into an 8-month renovation (with breaks for COVID and varying intensity).
As we removed old gib fixed to fruit boxes, found soft drink bottles as plumbing, fence posts as joists and all the other joys on a 90-year-old house "extended" three times, Luke and the team were great throughout and explained what needed to be done, how many hours it would take and a gauge on materials.
As others below have alluded too, we're particularly happy with the quality of the end product. We wanted to renovate our house and maintain the classic features of the era, which meant Best Nest was required to build custom architraves, rework our original doors, demo yard materials and other skills which require builders with a wide range of skills which are harder to find these days. The end result is consistently commented on by other tradies which is always a good sign.
On the subject of tradies, Best Nest were also happy to be work with our preferred tradies where we had them (e.g. electrician, roofer and painter) while being happy to recommend others were we drew a blank. This flexibility isn't always provided and was very important to us. Critically, all their recommended tradies were up to standard and Luke was happy to co-ordinate with my tradies as if they were his own.
As with any renovation, we had numerous follow-ups and Luke and his tradies have always followed up and remedied the various teething issues.
We would happily (and indeed have) recommend Best Nest Building to anyone looking for a building company if you expect high standards in the work, good communication during the job and people that you can trust to build your family home.

Luke was very professional and quick to reply. He did an amazing job on assembling our custom walk-in wardrobe and making sure everything was on track. Best Nest is a super reliable company, would 100% recommend again. Jessie especially was very thorough, careful and meticulous in his work. Very good craftsmanship and a pleasure to have him work on our house.
Luke’s communication and flexibility too, with plan adjustments and ensuring electricians were chased up, was commendable and flawless. Highly recommend him to everyone!
Thank-you for our amazing house extension and organising the new roofing- everything looks great! No more mould issues now - yay!
