New Testimonial: First-Time Builders Share Their Janssen Contractors Experience

We’re excited to share a fresh client testimonial from a couple who built their first home here in Christchurch after moving to New Zealand. Their words say it best, so we’ve highlighted their experience throughout.

Communication that made the unfamiliar simple

“The key thing was communication. As first-time home builders in a new country, the process wasn’t familiar to us. Gus was on top of it and assured us what needed to be done at each stage.”

From day one, we map out the process in plain English, surface key decisions at the right time, and keep responses quick so nothing stalls.

A clear plan with dates that stuck

“We had a very nice project plan with set dates for what happens when. We’ve done two projects with him and he delivered both on time.”

Every project starts with a milestone schedule you can actually see. You always know who is doing what, when it is happening, and how we are tracking.

When the plan had to change, we handled everything

“We had to file for an amendment because our original plan needed a big change. I got really scared, but Gus filed the amendment and took care of everything for us.”

Amendments and consent changes are part of building. Our job is to keep your project moving while we manage the paperwork and coordination.

Craftsmanship the neighbours notice

“The quality of the workmanship is really great. You know it’s done right when your neighbours ask who did the work and want the number.”

Their favourite detail was the boxed ceiling with cove lighting. It is a subtle feature that makes the whole space pop and shows the difference thoughtful finishing can make.

The part that makes us proud

“One hundred percent we’re going to be recommending Gus. Friends who are renovating or building hear about him from us.”

Most of our work comes from referrals like this. We are grateful for the trust and we work hard to earn it on every site.
