Client Testimonials

Grant and Susan Ryan

It is a pleasure for my wife and I to provide a testimonial for Pieter Oosterbaan, Gerald Cailliau and the team at Beacon Construction.

Having completed a major addition and renovation to our home in Mairangi Bay employing Beacon Construction, we are pleased to say we are very happy with the professional job done by Pieter, Gerald and their various subcontractors.

Setting out on our project was a stressful decision for us, but the knowledgeable, helpful advice we received at the outset from Pieter was both invaluable and also very reassuring. We wanted expert, practical advice from our builders, and this is what we got. Design suggestions which we incorporated have proved to be spot on, and we are glad we listened to the advice we were given. A realistic estimate was given at the outset, and this proved to be extremely accurate when compared to the final price.

Gerald is a thoroughly organized project manager, who ensured the whole project ran smoothly and to both time and budget. Communication, both on site and by phone and email was outstanding; whenever the inevitable small problem arose it was always dealt with swiftly and calmly.

In any building project, variations to the original plan are likely to arise as the project progresses, and our job was no exception. All such variations were discussed and mutually agreed, and again we are glad we proceeded with several suggested changes as the final job is much better for them.

We would happily use Pieter and Gerald again, and are pleased to be able to recommend them to other potential clients. Their integrity and professional manner is first rate, and we can honestly say that we were pleasantly surprised by how easy they made the whole project at the end of the day.

Yours truly,
Grant and Susan Ryan

Beacon construction has done three renovation projects in my home. Each project started and finished on time, stayed within budget and was beautifully finished. I have had several friends who have renovated and choose the lowest quote only to end up with the builders going over budget significantly and the projects dragging out over time. Unlike me, none of my friends would use the same builder again. Peter Oosterbaan is a delight to work with and extremely knowledgeable and experienced. And Pieter followed each project through to the very end -- obtaining the Council compliance certificates.

I would highly recommend Pieter and his team to anyone that wants to enjoy their building project, with a good quality job, started and finished on time and on budget.

Dear Pieter,

Thank you so much for building my wife & I, a lovely home.

We were both very happy and pleased for all you did from the start, with the purchase of the section, to the building of the home.

We will both be happy there and it won’t take long for my wife to put the final touches to the inside which will turn a house into a home.

Thank you again so much for all you have done for us both.

Kindest regards,
Tony

I engaged Pieter Oosterbaan to build my house after having three previous development proposals fall over. From the outset, my association with Pieter Oosterbaan was one in which I was confident that my needs and views were respected and treated with credibility. I felt fully informed about what was required of me; any matters arising throughout the contract were discussed with me in terms of options available and the financial implications of these; timeframes were clear and invariable adhered to; commonsense and flexibility prevailed when necessary.

It mattered to me that I did not have financial surprises; that the project proceeded on time and in a way that was efficient and provided me with a soundly built home. In each of these respects, my needs were met.

Without exception, Pieter Oosterbaan and his sub-contractors with whom I had contact were professional and courteous. The standard of workmanship provided by Pieter and his subcontractors alike has pleased me and impressed others.

Regards, June
