Premier Home Builders in Canterbury

Jarrod, Tom and the team recently built a large deck to replace our under-used concrete patio. From the first meeting it was clear they understood what we were asking for and helped us refine our ideas into a design we were excited to move forward with. Their friendly and knowledgeable approach gave us confidence that they knew what they were doing and could build the high-quality space we were looking for.

With an attention to detail for every cut and join, the new deck looks fantastic and reflects the quality of their workmanship. The little quirks of building on top of an existing concrete platform were taken in their stride, along with a few little tweaks to the design from us as they went along.

T&J Builders are genuinely customer and quality focused and have been a great team to work with! We’re very happy to recommend them and will certainly look to work with their team again for our future building projects.”

• Hamish & Maggie Crombie

The brief to update and modernise our original 70 year old home to current building specs, alongside a sympathetic extension was not without its challenges and surprises. But T&J Builders nailed it. They were wonderful to work with and importantly they made our project their own.

Constant communication was the key to success during this build. Their professional experience, advice and suggestions, quality workmanship and finish, attention to detail, aesthetic vision, regard for the budget and costings, close and timely supervision of sub-contractors ensured that they delivered a beautifully appointed home that we are thrilled with. We also had a few laughs and some fun during the process.

“T&J Builders recently completed our new house build, working closely with us from start to finish. We presented them with many unique ideas and we love how each one turned out. They also offered helpful suggestions to either improve the build, or save costs, including being flexible with letting us use our own subcontractors. It has been a completely hassle-free experience and we can’t wait to build with them again.”

• Steven and Simone Maw

This was our second build and we chose T&J Builders because of their reputation. They are honest, reliable and excellent tradesmen. Importantly, we always felt it was a joint project – which wasn’t necessarily the case on our first home.

We are thrilled with the quality of their workmanship and their attention to detail – this is what sets them apart. Communication was straight forward and it was built on time and on budget. They were professional from day one and we had a lot of fun along the way.

They have my firm and sincere endorsement as builders of quality and value and I would recommend them to anyone.”

T&J Builders recently completed our new build in Rolleston. Our experience from start to finish was fantastic. At first meeting Jarrod gave us great advice on the design process without any pressure to commit to the build until we were happy. As we built at a terrible time for price increases T&J were transparent and forward thought these as much as possible….even storing our plumbing gear so we could beat the price increases.

These guys are exactly why we chose a small local business. Honest, down to earth and want to get the job done right.

Thanks Tom, Jarrod and team for building our family home.

Fantastic, professional team to build our home with. Great communication throughout the build process. Listened to our requests and made them a reality. High quality finish and attention to detail. Would definitely build with them again. Thanks Tom and Jarrod!

We are so happy we decided to go with T&J builders to build our home. Right from the start, the meetings planning, quoting and talking about how it was all going to work was enjoyable. Jarrod was very easy to communicate with and provided updates as needed. The build process was seamless. Tom and Jarrod have an incredible attention to detail and worked well with their tradesmen that completed plumbing etc. We are in a new sub division and hearing the horror stories from neighbours and what they went through with bigger building companies is very sad. We will 100% use T&J again for any building needs!

Couldn't recommend Tom and Jarrod and their team more highly. They did a complete overhaul of our two story weatherboard villa with an exceptional result. Jarrod took time to walk us over idea's on site and explore our wants and musts before we even signed the contract. Jarrod's communication was top notch throughout the entire job and he was always handy to help us work through solutions when issue's arose. Tom and his team of builders craftsmanship is second to none, leaving us feeling that the outcome of the project speaks for itself, all on time and within budget! We would highly recommend and would definitely use again.

The team at T&J helped us convert the attic space over our garage into a home office/kids TV room, including installing stairs, boarding the loft, creating bespoke storage in the eaves, arranging the installation of skylights, and generally taking the lead in making the space as awesome as possible. They were great to deal with, always arrived early and all communications were fantastic. I would definitely use them again, and in fact are having them back to install a Remu mantle-place and a Victorian iron fireplace in the next few weeks. Would definitely recommend for any construction/remodelling projects.

People always say that building is one of the most stressful things you can do in life. When building with T and J builders, this saying could not be anymore wrong. Right from the get-go you are dealing with the owners and operates of the business who care about your dream home just as much as you do. In the current housing market buying a house can cost an arm and a leg and still not be exactly what you want! This makes building, especially with Tom and Jarrod a smart and affordable option.

When they say they offer a fixed price, they mean it. From getting the initial quote to our home being complete there was no hidden cost.

You also have the freedom to visit the house and go inside anytime from start to finish.

Their communication cannot be faulted.

Could not recommend these guys highly enough for all building needs.
