Professional outcome

Your holiday home design may well reflect every family need, but this is worth little if it isn't backed by construction to the same high standard. One way to ensure this is to choose a certified builder.

Derek Baxter, CEO of the Certified Builders Association of New Zealand (CBANZ), says that contracting a certified builder gives a homeowner or developer the freedom to relax.

"CBANZ members have undergone rigorous training and testing to become trade qualified," says Baxter. "Part of this training includes principles of work ethics, such as acting with honesty, integrity and responsibility and dealing fairly and equitably with clients and other industry professionals at all times."

Members join the association voluntarily, and must supply client and trade references to prove the calibre of their workmanship and business skills.

In addition, the Homefirst 10-year Builders Guarantee which is available on application can only be provided by a Certified Builder.
