Scott’s professionalism and attention to detail were exactly what we needed. He sought to understand our requirements carefully and delivered them on time with no hidden costs at the end of the project. He also worked extremely well with other external parties such as the teams in each house; their contractors, our architects and the other service providers like the council, planners and surveyors.

Greg Heathcote

"Although Scott and his team undertook a smallish job for us it involved the coordination of a number of different sub trades over a period of months. Throughout this process there were a number of things that made Ninety45 stand out from previous contractors we have used. Scott always kept us informed of what was going on, his team and sub contractors always came when they were expected, they were polite and tidied up afterwards, and of course did a great job. We highly recommend Scott and have just begun to use Ninety45 for a major renovation of an old house where his organisational skills are also to the fore."

Sheridan Harmos

"Very professional and honest builder. Renovated our villa to a very high standard - couldn't be happier. Would certainly use Scott and his team again."

Philippa Rennie

"Scott and his team delivered their service with professionalism and patience. All his team were great to work with during our one year villa renovation."

Sally O'Brien

"We used Ninety45 for the renovation of our 1905 villa recently. This was the first time we had attempted a build or reno so we were nervous about the whole process, in particular the cost side of things. Our house is an old villa and we were keen to reinstate some of the original features and we knew the house might hold a few surprises. If you are considering a build or reno, I would not hesitate in recommending the Ninety45 team. It is a few months post completion now and we are loving the house and expect we will do so for decades to come."

Ed Meredith

"Scott and his team are brilliant! We were in such safe hands and valued their recommendations immensely. We had an incoming baby deadline and the team worked efficiently to allow us plenty of time to get back in the house before she arrived. Highly recommend."

Rachel Forman

"We've worked with Scott, Rochelle and their team a number of times on some very complex projects. They are incredibly professional with clear communication. The projects always seem to be well under control no matter what issues are confronting them (as is always the case in high end builds). I would definitely recommend them to anyone considering a quality build in Auckland."

Doug M

"We worked with Scott and his team in 2018. They did an outstanding job for us on the renovation of our apartment and extensive work done on our deck in St Heliers. It was a significant job, a complete redesign, as every wall that could be removed was! Scott helped us work through the unknowns that arise in any project (which you can never plan for). Scott was super professional with a great sense of humour and practicality. He made things easy at a time which can cause much anxiety and stress. His ideas and building knowledge were second to none as was the quality workmanship. We are super pleased with the overall result and loving the new apartment and deck. We would highly recommend them and absolutely use their services again, no matter what the job."
