Fencing & Gate Repair Tawa, Wellington

5.0

I really recommend Jordan and Rākau Construction Limited, for the job they completed on replacing fence posts on the cortens fence, fantastic communication and really quick to visit site and quote. Work was completed within days of the estimate being accepted. The site was left in an immaculate state. The final account was less than the estimate which was a very pleasant surprise. Thanks for the work guys, you will be my first call for any other work needing done

Jordan and Hamish did a great job fixing and replacing some rotting out areas of exterior cladding around our house and garage. They had a couple of days downtime and came round almost instantly to quote. Started the job two days later and were all done an dusted in another two days. On time and budget. Really happy with the work and fully recommend Rākau Construction for any building work

Deck replacement job

Decking & Pergolas Eastbourne, Hutt Valley

5.0

Rākau Construction completed a large (100m²) deck replacement for us. This included replacing decking boards, balustrades, and remediating issues with joists and posts. All on a challenging site. Jordan and Hamish were brilliant to deal with - good communicators, diligent, respectful, and highly-skilled. We'll use them again.

Flat deck replacement and waterproofing

Decking Repair Tawa, Wellington

Had a failing butynol deck needing replacement. The team from Rākau gave solid feedback prior to commencement so I (with no building experience whatsoever) was able to understand the process through to completion. Daily updates were appreciated and project was finished on time and came in under budget! Highly recommended company with pleasant and friendly staff.

Both Jordan and Hamish were great to deal with. Worked neatly and had awesome ideas. No job was to big or small for them. Definitely recommend Rākau construction

Jordan and his team built our beautiful Auckland home. It was architecturally designed specifically for us so it was important to us that the build was not only top quality but the team we worked with were collaborative and communicative throughout the project. I thoroughly recommend Rākau to anyone wanting builders who are honest, care about the quality of their workmanship and are quick to handle any issues as they arise on the project (which is always inevitable on a building project of this size)!
