"I am so pleased I put my faith in Versatile to build my home. It was a huge step for me as I am very much a senior citizen and have never been involved in such a project. The site meeting was 17th May 22 and keys handed over 17th October 22. Communication throughout the build was good which gave me confidence at a time when navigating supply and staff shortage problems in the industry were a problem. I have been living in my amazing two bedroom cottage for six months and just love it. Great design, warm sunny and practical. Visitors remark on the quality and standard of finish. No hesitation in recommending Versatile Builders Tauranga for your build."

"What a wonderful treat back in NZ to our amazing home. Please give our thanks to Garry all your team. You are right it is stunning!! We are thrilled and Michelle and co have done an incredible job with the landscaping too. We are feeling very privileged to walk into our completed home :-) Thanks again and will catch up soon."
Carol and Ross
"From the beginning of my contact with Luanne about getting a quote to have my garage built the team at Versatile have been great. Luanne’s communication was fantastic and her friendly, approachable manner gave me the confidence that everything was going to run smoothly. Plans were drawn up quickly and the alterations that I wanted were accommodated along with helpful suggestions to improve on what I needed. Garry’s dealing with the council to get building consent was invaluable and his suggestions were very much appreciated. The builders were great, friendly and easy to get on with. They even turned up early one morning in the rain to finish off part of the building. Les’ management of the build was amazing. His communication, ability to solve any issues, attention to detail and calm manner was the finishing touch to the building process."

"Jason is an amazing sales person. Knowledgeable, helpful, exactly the right amount of persistence and always followed through on everything. I would like to give him a 12 out of 10. The Project Manager is also deserving of 12 out of 10. Never appeared hassled or too busy to deal with any queries, yet we know he was so busy."
Stephanie Prendergast
"We chose Versatile as our building partner because we had a great connection with Paula from our first meeting, felt that she ‘just got our project’ and trust her input. Paula is a gem, friendly and professional, nothing is too much trouble to ensure we have the home we envisage, and everything in the planning has been delivered within the time frames stated. Even last minute plan changes!!!"
Alan & Glenda Rowley
"We are completely delighted with our finished beach house and are excited, looking into the future, to create many happy family memories of days at Waihi Beach in our warm, well designed Versatile home. Many thanks to the Versatile Tauranga team."
Phil and Val Stocks
"Our house building project with Versatile was an effortless experience. The project management was smooth and well organised and communication was open and clear. There were no nasty surprises. Overall very positive feedback from visitors on the clever open plan, spacious feel and good presentation. Thanks team!"
Lizzie
"Our experience was a very positive one and on reflection the people at Versatile performed extremely well in all areas. The remote location was dealt with very professionally and we did not feel disconnected with the build. Versatile did everything very well. A quality build where everything went according to plan."
Phil Stocks
Great experience with Versatile Tauranga. Sales Consultant was knowledgeable and helpful, we were regularly kept up to date, (even when there were council delays outside their control), the construction team and builders on-site were very good. We are exceptionally pleased with our build. - Emma
I recently had the pleasure of working with Versatile for the installation of a carport.
From the start, Versatile showed exceptional professionalism and expertise. They not only built a high-quality carport but also guided us through the process, ensuring minimal disruption.
Their outstanding communication kept us informed throughout the project, addressing any questions promptly. Overall, I highly recommend Versatile for their commitment to quality workmanship and excellent customer service. - Chris
