We had a remarkably smooth build process with Cogan Custom Homes, and highly recommend building with them. Going into the build planning process, we were nervous about costs given the increases post covid. Craig was involved during the design process, and was immensely helpful at...
We are very happy to provide a testimonial for Cogan Custom Homes..
We contracted Craig to build our retirement home following very good recommendations from others. As we were living in Kenya and could not return to NZ until after the foundations were laid, we were a bit nervous about the process.
Recently, when friends from Auckland visited our new home, they were impressed and curious about how we found such a highly competent local builder. We explained how we initially worried that our 'forever home' plans weren't coming together as envisioned.
It is a pleasure for us to highly recommend Cogan Custom Homes.
From the very first initial discussions, to the meetings with the Architect, to the pricing guidelines, to the excellent building advice, to the easy to follow Personal App, every effort was made to ensure our dreams would be fulfilled.
Our new home in Marsden Cove is our third building project. We were looking for a builder who could not only achieve a high quality build within an agreed time and budget, but who would also allow us to be involved in parts of the build.
Cogan Custom Homes was recommended to me by a friend. Craig and his team exceeded all expectations across the board. Craig kept me in the loop throughout the project, made helpful suggestions along the way, checked in with me often to make sure I was happy, was flexible and attentive when I had suggestions, and ensured the project came in on time.
Cogan Custom Homes are professional, efficient, and a pleasure to work with. It was our first time building and we were cautious about placing so much trust in someone, especially when you hear some horror stories from others who have built. Craig gave us so much of his time and knowledge even before we signed a contract.
This is the third house we have built, and it has been the most fun and least stressful building experience we have ever had. We absolutely love our new home, to us it is exactly what we wanted. We think it is an excellent design that has been built to an exceptionally high standard.
“Cogan Custom Homes and his team were recommended to us when looking for a local builder for our new house in One Tree Point. We consider that we were extremely well advised, are extremely pleased with the final result, and with the whole process carried out by Craig and his excellent team.
I played hockey with Craig at school and being aware of his reputation for quality builds he was always near the top of our list of preferred builders for our new home. Any doubt was removed after our first meeting with him – he didn’t promise to be the cheapest but we felt confident he’d deliver a quality build at a competitive price.
When we set out to find the best local builder for our new home on the canal system at Marsden Cove, it was essential that we chose a builder who specialized in bespoke projects. Our search quickly led us to Cogan Custom Homes, thanks to their strong reputation among local residents.
Building with Cogan Custom Homes was a hassle free process. I was impressed with how the team followed up once the build was finished and if any minor issues arose, Cogan Custom Homes were quick to resolve these with no fuss.
“We built a new home in 2019 with Cogan Custom Homes and the process was totally stress-less from start to finish. All the staff and sub contractors were friendly and helpful and the job was completed well within the scheduled dates. We can totally recommend them to assist you whatever your building needs.”
Back in 2014 we decided to build a new home in beautiful Lang’s Beach. Along with our Auckland based Architect we hired talented local builders “Cogan Custom Homes” to undertake the build.
“Just great organisation, kept us informed all the way through the build, great co-operation and made the build easy. It ran to schedule even though the weather was unkind.”
“The whole process was just easy, everything was on time, went to budget. Craig communicated all the time giving us updates and sending us photos of the progress, all his contractors were great to deal with. The whole process was a pleasure and easy, we would recommend Craig and his team anytime.”
“We would recommend involving your builder as early as possible in the design stage as it would save plan changes and the extra cost involved. We appreciated the building and sub trades on our job who were highly skilled, flexible, patient, had great ideas and enthusiasm.
