Our happy Clients

Most of our business comes from client referrals, returning customers, industry contacts, and word of mouth. These testimonials are a window into how we work with clients, what we build for them, and what makes our client’s referrer E. James Builders to their friends and family.

"Elton and his team came highly recommended to us and we now understand why. We love our new home! Elton was fantastic from day one, he was competitive on price, took the time to understand what we wanted, made valuable suggestions on our plans and throughout the build to fit with our budget, and allowed us to be involved as much as we wanted during the process."

"We would definitely use Elton again and have repeatedly recommended him to friends. We found Elton to be very professional and personable. He is easy to get on with and worked really well with all sub-contractors, whom he had sourced. He was very open to our ideas and it was never an issue if we wanted something changed or added."

"I have no hesitation in recommending E. James Builders to anyone seeking a creative, competent, reliable building company. Elton was recommended to us by a friend as someone reliable who can carry out earthquake repairs. Elton and his team were terrific to deal with. Elton’s experience in remediation, renovation, and alteration work was invaluable, and his attention to detail has been first-rate."

"We chose E. James Builders as they had the best referees. We cannot recommend E James Builders highly enough. Elton’s attention to detail when we reviewed the scope of works together was reassuring. We required reinstatement of our home, preserving the special character of our 1912 weatherboard house - including stained glass windows, ornate ceiling roses, and Rimu flooring. Elton's standard of work is exceptional."
