Locally owned business with a tight-knit team

We consider ourselves very lucky to have selected Maddren Homes to build our home from the myriad of building companies to choose from and recommend this fantastic team to all. The differentiators we saw initially in Maddren Homes when compared to others was a locally owned business with a tight-knit team and focus on programming their selected high quality subcontractors to deliver fantastic homes. Those perceptions became a reality as our build was a quick, easy, stress free process that left our neighbours astounded as we moved in 4 weeks ago while they are all many months from doing the same. Many thanks to our site supervisor, Jamie, for non-stop communication,  also Rodger for swapping beer recipes on the way. Also to the team in the background Andy, Jacqui, Terena, and the rest.

Brought in on budget and ahead of schedule

I would like to take a moment to express our gratitude of a job well done to Maddren Homes Ltd. They set the bar pretty high for us and if we were ever to build again Maddren would be the one we use. We can’t express enough how delighted we are that their experience and commitment to deliver brought our build in on budget and not only that but ahead of schedule. I highly commend them for the trades people they use and the team they have in their company, they made for us what can be a stressful journey genuinely exciting and enjoyable.

I’d also like to take the opportunity to express to you and to especially thank Jake Griffith our site manager who’s communication, organisational skills, ability to be professional yet friendly and genuine desire to deliver the product I wanted, how I wanted it and to a quality of the highest standard really impressed me and gave me a lot of confidence throughout the build. He really is an asset to Maddren and I would happily have him managing a build for me again.

A big thank you too Kate, Hannah, Jacqui, Terena, Tony, Rodger and everyone who keeps the cogs moving in the back ground for the excellent job you do.

No nasty surprises

Building a new house has the potential to be the most stressful thing you can ever do. It was our first time and we weren’t sure about how it will go. However, we’re really pleased to have chosen Maddren Homes as they made the whole process enjoyable and fun. The team at Maddren is quite prompt, honest and upfront with their communication. There were no nasty surprises and because we were happy with the quality of products they supplied, we didn’t feel the need to upgrade or change them which saved us time and money. Our Site Supervisor Jake was professional, kept us well-informed throughout the process and made sure that all questions were answered in a timely manner. He managed the build really well and that literally took out all the stress from the process. Things were on schedule throughout and the house was handed over to us well before the estimated completion date.

It’s a well-knit team at Maddren Homes and that reflects in their quality of workmanship. The house is just great and we love every moment in it. We’d happily recommend Maddren Homes to anyone looking to build.

I enjoyed the whole experience

Thanks Maddrens,

Well we did it! Building a home is not something to take on lightly and we did our homework and looked at numerous show homes, magazines and spoke to a lot of trades people. Now there is a saying that “you only get what you pay for”. I believe this to be the case with Maddren.

Yes, there are companies out there that promise they can do it cheaper and there is a reason for that “Quality”. The quality of our finished home is exceptional, every little detail is perfect and anything we needed to change along the way was never an issue. They bent over backwards to make the process as stress free as possible and I can honestly say I enjoyed the whole experience.

There wasn’t a moment in time when I didn’t know what was happening; we were well informed about every step. I have never seen such a team of people who are as house proud as the new owners. Not only did they come up with ideas to make things better along the way but they did it off their own backs and came to us with their suggestions even if it took hours of their time to find solutions.

I would like to thank the whole team at Maddren and especially big thanks to our building supervisor Sean and also to Rodger and Hannah on an amazing experience that I will remember for as long as I live. Hopefully our home will go on to give other families great pleasure years down the track.

What they have created for us is a masterpiece: our vision has now become a reality and my husband and I can’t thank them enough. But the best thing of all is I feel like they treat their clients like family. If I ever build again there is only one company that I would use and that’s Maddren.

Thanks again so much,  Maria and Richard

Thanks Maddrens

My wife and I built with Maddren last year moved in on the 22nd December.
I cannot speak too highly of them. We were dealing with some extremely brutal health issues and Maddren made the whole process work for us and it was actually a nice distraction to what we were dealing with otherwise.

The build process was stress free

We selected Maddren Homes for two reasons; one was because Maddrens had a design that was already very close to what we had in mind and would fit perfectly with our building site, and the second was that the Maddrens consultant, Stuart was genuinely interested in helping us through the decision making process including responding to many, many questions, ensuring that we stuck to our budget, - and all without the uncomfortable hard sell. We felt very comfortable dealing with Maddren right from the outset. The decision to select Maddren to build our home was therefore very easy for us to make.

Maddren is a long standing family owned and operated company, and we benefited from their strong customer focus. The build process was stress free, and we were always kept up to date with regular progress reports, and the project was very well managed. 

Maddren ensured that the scope of the build was as fine-tuned as possible before the Contract was signed, minimising the possibility for cost overruns and time delays caused by things that we would have had to include later at additional cost to us: not to mention negatively impacting on the final build date. We feel so good about our dealings with Maddren (Homes) and their quality build, that we openly promote them to our fiends and workmates.

It was 'Home' from the moment we moved in.

“A very good morning to the Team at Maddrens - we would like you all to know how much we love the new house you built for us.  It was 'Home' from the moment we moved in. Our first point of contact with Maddrens was a pleasure and we were certainly pointed in the right direction with our planning.  I must say I was very doubtful about the lounge ceiling, but I was assured that it was the best thing to do and they were right!  Everyone comments on that ceiling!

During our build we found it very easy to communicate with all the staff we dealt with and our requests were never a problem, especially the many variations..

Shaun, our Site Supervisor, was so helpful during the build, nothing was a problem. Shaun always went out of his way to ensure we were happy with what was happening - thanks Shaun. And of course we could not leave this without a mention of Rodger: always happy and obliging, and our first point of contact at the office, Kim - thank you both.  

We should comment on what a splendid new building you have in Kumeu - it is very impressive.  You will surely all be enjoying such a nice workplace.  

Again, our sincere thanks for building our lovely home.”

We loved the team!

At the beginning of 2013 we purchased the section we wished to build on. We were quite clear on what our family’s needs were and what we wanted in a home. With this in mind, we set off doing the rounds of the building companies as well as individual builders to find the best-fit for us.  This was no short process. We needed to be able to compare apples with apples as best we could and it took months of discussions with several companies before making our decision.

We chose Maddren because we wanted good pricing (without shortcuts and an inferior quality build) and ultimately because we loved the team. Building a home is both an investment of considerable money and an investment in your dreams. A powerful combination. Our initial contact through Phil Taylor, (himself and engineer) was fantastic. He had the expertise to help guide us through the design possibilities whilst looking at the contours (and therefore constraints) of the land.

From that point on, we were in the hands of experts. In the office, Hannah answered any pricing and product inquiries. Our site and build manager, Keegan Anderson was hands-on, dealing quickly and efficiently with issues before they could become problems, listening to us and involving us through the entire project. We finished on budget and slightly before the estimated completion date.

Maddren offers an affordable, quality build. Maddren also offers an excellent team to work with to deliver the home you want. We had a great experience with Maddren from initial concept through to the post- check following possession of our new home.

First class tradesmen

If you are looking for a building company that will provide you with a home built with quality materials and by experienced tradesmen, then we would suggest you give Maddren Homes a call. We came across Maddren quite by chance at the Millwater development at Silverdale after doing the rounds of numerous other building companies. Tony Anderson, the director of the company, was extremely helpful from the onset; he took us all around the Millwater development until we acquired the section that best suited our needs in terms of visual aspect and budget. Over the last 12 months (yes, it does take that long) he and his team have built us a house that is not only stunning in its design, but has the quality of workmanship and attention to detail that can only be described as first class. There were occasions when things did not go according to plan resulting in delays to the build.  In most cases these were quickly rectified with no effect on either the quality or the original design concept.

Taking all of this into account we would have no hesitation in recommending Maddren Homes to anyone looking to build a new home. We would like to mention also the contribution of Rodger Scott and his team: Steve, Hannah and Kim, Keegan our supervisor, Matt and Brian our builders, and also the many first class tradesmen who contributed to the building of our home.

This was a stress-free build

Having purchased a section in Riverhead, I researched local builders and spent some time visiting show homes and speaking with representatives.  From the outset the quality of the Maddren Homes stood out.  This was backed up by a very experienced and friendly sales person who visited the site and offered ideas, suggestions, basic plans and costs to guide us in our selection of floor plans and materials.   All queries were answered promptly and during the building process we were impressed with not only the quality and speed of the build, but also the efficient manner of the project manager, who was always available to discuss any issue.  We are delighted with the finished product.  This was a stress-free build, and we are very pleased to have chosen Maddren Homes.
