We built with Maddren in 2020/2021 (house and land package). It was our first time building and we feel we couldn't have chosen better. The team are knowledgeable and helpful, and seem really genuine. We are really happy with the quality of our build and it was completed in good time. Everyone we dealt with was honest and upfront and we did not have any unexpected costs. The house design is optimal for the section and provides a truly functional house. We would not hesitate to build with Maddren again or to recommend them to anyone thinking about building.

Our build is on rural sloping land in Mangawhai.
After a rocky start with another builder, we are so thankful that we found Maddren Homes. The whole team are excellent. Our salesperson, worked diligently with us and their architect, Alistair to help us achieve a design that met our needs and within our budget. He was always available and responded promptly to any questions.
Once we signed the contract we had a meeting with Keegan, where he comprehensively explained the process, work began soon afterwards, and I have to say that it was the tidiest building site I have known, even friends who had built with another company, commented how tidy and smooth the build was. there were no major hiccups and any issues were dealt with calmly, quickly and smoothly.
James, our project manager has to be commended for speaking our language, keeping us informed and calmly dealing with all of our stupid questions.
Mention also to Stephen our QS, who also provide excellent information and service.
Communication from Maddren was top notch, we received a weekly written update and monthly statements, detailing the costs of the project.
I always said I would never build a house as the thought of it was so daunting, but now, I would be happy to do it again, but only with Maddren. We are delighted with the result and would very highly recommend Maddren Homes. Great work team !

Thank you so much from Jeff and Jo

We just moved into a Maddren Homes build and couldn’t be happier with our decision. The house is built to a high-quality standard, the team was easy to work with throughout the process, and communication was exceptional. Before the project started, we approached a few group home builders for quotes, but they didn’t seem to understand our needs or the challenges of our complex site. We heard about Maddren Homes through word of mouth and were immediately impressed by their knowledge and willingness to go the extra mile to get our project on track. To our surprise, their pricing was more competitive than their 'cheaper' competitors, and with higher specifications!

In the end, choosing Maddren Homes was the best decision we made. Their attention to detail, dedication to quality, and commitment to going above and beyond have given us a home we absolutely love. We highly recommend Maddren Homes to anyone looking for a builder who truly cares about their clients and delivers on their promises.

Thanks also to our PM James...absolute legend!

Building our first home with Maddren Homes was an incredible experience from start to finish. The team made us feel supported and informed every step of the way, with clear communication, realistic timelines, and a genuine passion for quality. Their craftsmanship and attention to detail exceeded our expectations, and the end result was a beautifully finished home that perfectly suited our lifestyle. What could have been a stressful process was made enjoyable and rewarding thanks to Maddren’s professionalism, integrity, and personal touch. We couldn’t have been happier with our first home and would highly recommend Maddren Homes to anyone looking to build.

After everything that the elements have thrown at us at Domain Cres over the last 6 months, we are eternally grateful to have not moved an inch, nothing come apart, nothing broken. 200kmh winds in 2018, Gabrielle’s fury, destruction and chaos all round, and all is very comfortable.

I want to thank Rodger and Keegan for the quality home they’ve delivered to us! As with many, we were pretty nervous about the recent weather events, but we can thankfully report that our home has come through with flying colours – no leaks, no significant overflows, and not even any minor cracks in the plaster – this is an excellent outcome guys from such a significant weather event! We’re very happy with the build quality you’ve delivered 👍😊

As an Architect I have had considerable experience with building contractors and building contracts.  The building process is not a finite thing and is full of challenges for both the construction company and the client.  During the course of our contract with Maddren Homes we had no cause for concern and we enjoyed the lead up to construction and the actual construction.  We have now well a truly settled into our new home and are enjoying it and our new surroundings.

We went through quite a thorough search for the best team to build our two duplex houses before settling on Maddren Homes.

What struck us, aside from their obvious design and build experience, was their accessibility and willingness to communication. Every step of the way we were able to be in touch with their team, the project manager and management if needed. They truly brought us along on the journey and made us feel part of the team – not just the end customer.

Ours was not an easy build over COVID-19 with market conditions being pretty tough, however, we were always engaged by Maddren and kept up to date with progress. They were very flexible when it came to design changes as we saw the build unfold, allowing us to make changes that made sense. The quality of the finished product is really high and we are completely satisfied with our choice to go with Maddren.

We decided to build with Maddren because they specialised in building unique homes; we want a house that suit our lifestyle and family requirements and we consider design and build is the best option for us, and we are grateful to have made this decision.

Maddren carefully listen to our requirements in the design process, we were involved to make decision on every details which was pretty special. Their trades are all very professional and easy to talk to.

We are happy with the build quality and there is nothing more satisfy than living in a house tailor made to ourselves!

We are definitely going to recommend the great option to build house with Maddren with our friends.

We had a very pleasant building journey with Maddren. They were so easy to deal with from sales to construction.

The great thing about the Maddren Design and Build process is that we, as clients, were closely involved in making every decision. We also had the opportunity to meet with various trades to discuss the build at different stages. For example, when the frame was up we were invited on a walk through the house with the window manufacturer, Vantage, where they discussed with us every window layout, size, ways of opening and air flow, and gave suggestions to make sure everything would work for our space. We also meet the concrete people on the day of laying the concrete, to confirm we were happy with the proposed plan. They gave us some good suggestions and we ended up making a few changes, so we are grateful we had that discussion.

We have friends building with another company and they don’t have the privilege of getting involved with the decision making.  Lucky we chose Maddren.
