We were delighted with the results of working with Grounded NZ. They provided excellent responses to our initial enquiries and communicated very well throughout the whole process. Our ground was tested initially to ensure the stability was suitable to place ground screws in as a supporting foundation and after this confirmation the ground screws were installed. The final test came when the intended building structure was lowered onto the ground screw platform and the result was a 100% perfect placement and a 100% level floor. You cannot ask for better than that. Thank you, Grounded NZ. Reply: It was a pleasure to work on your mother’s in law project. Thank you Iona.

We couldn't be happier that we chose Thibaud from Grounded NZ for our tiny home project. Thibaud and his lovely wife Polly were a pleasure to work with. They went above and beyond to make sure that everything ran smoothly. We felt totally confident from the very beginning that this is exactly what we needed for our tiny home. We couldn't recommend more highly. 10/10 for service, communication and product. Reply: Many thanks and it was a pleasure to play a very small part in your tiny house story.
