Builderscrack.co.nz Customers Explain Why You Should Find Your Next Tradesman Though Them

Win an Apple iPad 2 and $$500 tradesman voucher from BuildersCrack.co.nz


A large number of GrownUps members have tried Builderscrack.co.nz over the last couple of years. However, there are also a large number who are yet to do so. Given customer reviews are an important way that Builderscrack.co.nz helps you select tradesmen, we thought that the best way to explain why you should consider using Builderscrack.co.nz would also be to share feedback from previous customers.

As a reminder, Builderscrack.co.nz allows homesowners to post the work they need doing, and then sit back and wait for tradespeople to respond before comparing quotes and reviews. Customers frequently cite the following advantages of using Builderscrack.co.nz:

  • On Builderscrack.co.nz we meet tradespeople who are more proactive than when they have had to chase after tradespeople and try to get them interested.
  • Reading previous reviews of tradespeople makes it easy to research who previous customers have been happy with.
  • Getting several quotes without having to explain the problem multiple times saves time and ensures we are getting good value
  • Communicating using the online system, where all communications are recorded, and thus can be referred to later helps keep tradesmen to their word.

Builderscrack.co.nz is used for all kinds of jobs, from large jobs like a new home build, an extension or a roof replacement, through to smaller jobs like finding a tiler, fixing a window, or installing a tap, and all jobs in between.

The best people to tell you why you should try Builderscrack.co.nz are our own customers, so we have included some recent feedback below so you can read what customers say in their own words. You can click on the job name to see what the job involved.

  • "Most useful especially for someone undertaking building work for the first time. Big step, huge learning curve. The site provides comfort when dealing with and engaging builders. I high recommend this site to others. In fact, one of my colleagues is using the site to engage a builder for his work. Thanks heaps. David", New extension posted by David from Wellington City

I am a big fan and have been telling anyone who will listen to give it a go!", Tree and hedge trimming posted by Mal & Sue from Hutt Valley

  • "This was fantastic. I was having so much difficulty finding someone to complete the work and to have so many people respond in such a short space of time, was just fantastic.", Deck Repair & Recladding posted by Penny from Manukau City

by kiwibarbs 15th July 2011 I have used Builderscrack several times and would have no hesitation in using them again. It's a perfect way to find tradespeople who are keen enough to use the site and you can also see their feedback from other customers.
by joan041 21st July 2011 Really good. I had 5 tradespeople respond with hours of posting my kitchen job. I then choose 2 to get quotes from and selected Mike to do the job. Job still in progress but all going smoothly! Being able to see reviews of the tradespeople before exchanging contact is great.
by harr009 21st July 2011 Actually I've used this site as well and had no problems - the guys that came around to quote all seemed ok and the guy who did the work knew what he was doing. I'd use the website again.
