We needed to find a builder to extensively renovate a small, very original 1960s brick house to bring it into the 21st century. And for personal circumstances we needed it done within months, not years! Irne impressed first with his warm personality, calmness and positive attitude. We discussed our wishes, and Irne gave the advice we sought on how to achieve that. It wasn't long before a team was in place and the process was underway, first the tearing down of internal walls, then rebuilding and finally, the finishing touches. Irne is a craftsman, and nothing was too hard. The renovation was completed within budget and time. We are delighted with the result, no more poky little rooms and passages, instead an open internal flow, modern kitchen and bathroom, and great outdoor flow. it has been a delight working with Irne and Angie and the team they brought together. Reply: Hi Nicola and Barry, thank you so much for the review! It’s not often that clients ask if they could leave a review, as most are so busy, so we appreciate every review on our google profile! (Luckily, we have a few on your Builders Crack profile too). However, if we could leave a review in turn for you, somewhat odd though, I’ll have to say you must be our most favourite clients to date! (Please don’t tell any other clients we said so, ha-ha!) Youve been so gracious throughout the whole project and although we’ve always been very blessed to deal with reasonable and understanding clients, your actions has really stood out! We also believe that the project went well overall, but even with a small hic-up here and there and nothing we couldn’t resolve, i'd like to point out that you still you stayed friendly, accommodating, etc. We wish you only the best in your new retirement property. You really can just lock up and go now as you wanted and we definitley envy that! It would be great to hear from you from time to time, so please keep contact!

Retro has completed a bathroom reno for us recently and we are very impressed with especially their design skills and how practical they've made it, doing things we would not have thought about in a million years! It has created extra floor space and packing space for us in this rather small bathroom we really needed. We have not been able to do the most glamorous bathroom due to our budget, but its neat, tidy and still modern. They were able to help us within the budget we had and were already planning the kitchen upgrade next year. So excited! Reply: Hi Tanya, appreciate your effort to leave a review! We glad that you are happy and we also look forward to assisting again in future. We would be nothing without all the clients we have and just the thought that you will consider us for future work means a lot! Thank you again!

Irne has been my go to company for repairs and refurbishments for the last 3 years. Jobs were always well priced and completed within the timeframe. I would highly recommend Retro constructions for any jobs big or small. Reply: Hi Magda, i think we've lost count on the calls we’ve received to date from you, but it’s been an absolute pleasure to be off assistance the last few years! We have a few clients like yourself that keep on knocking for this or that and please feel free to keep on doing so! I hope you were able to match the paintwork you wanted to do yourself on those few wall repairs since our last visit and Irne says he should send you some photos of a job we have done in St Heliers, also a client that keeps on returning, but he has done some planter/flower boxes recently for her and you would probably love them, being a gardener yourself! It will look amazing on your deck too. Keep in mind to ask him if you see him next time. Until then!

The Retro team has done some interior renovations for us. Although it wasnt a large project, consisting mainly of painting, carpets and repairs the team was efficient timewise and the the detailed Quote provided seemed to have ensured that no extras had to be charged for afterwards. It was also a good experience dealing with them, very friendly and hardworking people. The office seemed to provide good support to the team whenever it was needed. I am happy to recommend! Cheers, Lizelle. Reply: Hi Lizelle, I’ll be honest and say that most of your work we mainly project managed and as you didn’t have any structural changes that needed doing, (so we didn’t provide a turnkey project in your case with add-ons like the Building Consent, Drawings, obtaining Engineering/Geotech reports, etc. for your project), but nevertheless the end result was amazing! You said you will be moving as a family soon to a bigger, but probably older property, that may need renovating again. Keep in mind that we specialise in structural repairs and would love to asisst again, even if its a turnkey project this time. Appreciate the detailed review and hope you are keeping well! Hoping to connect again in future.

Mr Grobler coverted our garage to a granny flat a few years ago.The amazing part was it didn't look like a flat at all once done. He used high end finishes and even now, most days i still consider living there instead of in my house. I always receive compliments when someone views it and i never struggle to rent it out when it goes open. Happy to share photos to anyone who pm me, so i can brag. 😂The project was done within a reasonable budget and at a good speed too. Engela. Reply: Hi Engela, thanks for your review. Although this work has been done years back, I remember seeing the photos and agree I was "shocked" myself to see what a great design came out of this garage conversion. I honestly thought a person would probably put the bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, and lounge each in its own corner and that is what you could do with a garage conversion, but Irne really has an eye for designs! It looked like a full home inside that garage, even creating a hallway that led to the main bedroom with an on-suite bathroom, that was accessible from the lounge too for visitors was an amazing plan, and a separate dressing room and powder counter that could help you with storage too, was all things that was well planned out. Adding the sliding door to the side of the building (and one at the front, let’s call that the back door), gave the little unit a view over the main houses pool, so there was nothing more any retiree could ask for I would believe! The added parking to the side of the main driveway became a very practical space, when arriving with some shopping items as that was close to the back door. I just loved that unit's design, and the high-end finishes will make it a lovely place to stay in when the day comes for your to retire and rent the main house out. We haven’t heard from you in years, but hope you are keeping healthy and well!
