100%"I worked with the QualMax team for more than six months on a house renovation plan. My key contact was Ian McGill. The plan included replacing all the windows and joinery, a full re-roof including guttering, a re-paint of the house and fencing, a partial re-insulation, a partial internal re-Gib and the installation of a ventilation system.
The team at QualMax were professional and friendly at all times. They were reliable and easy to communicate with. Planning for this type of renovation… requires patience, persistence and the ability to manage change as you work through the various options and specifications.
I was impressed by the integrity demonstrated by Ian and his team. QualMax recommended the options that were best for me as opposed to focusing on the areas which would make QualMax the most money. QualMax provides a quality service and their work is fairly priced.
I would highly recommend QualMax."Rating by: Lincoln | Rating posted: 10th Nov, 2017 | Contact: Ian McGill | Job date: Nov, 2017Lincoln•10th Nov, 2017•More details…

100%"I contacted Ian about the problems with our property because I saw their customer feedback on nocowboys. We had a few discussions over the phone and emails. We made arrangement for Ian to come to inspect. Ian arrived on time. During the inspection, Ian was very helpful, open, willing and patient in explaining things to us. Ian also got back to us with information as promised. No work has been done yet as we need to have a plan first. I feel that I should provide my feedback now as I am… happy with the advice provided by Ian."Rating by: CS | Rating posted: 23rd Feb, 2017 | Contact: Ian | Job date: Feb, 2017CS•23rd Feb, 2017•More details…

93%"Our job was not run of the mill and our expectations were very high. The job was significant (running for about seven months) as it involved an upstairs extension to a 1907 character home creating an additional bedroom and open plan study; complete strip out and refurbishment of two bathrooms with a high end tile finish and other smaller jobs like the bespoke period leadlight window added. Like any big jobs we had our challenges including large and costly variations that were necessary to… tackle, these things cannot be accurately foreseen in older homes until exposed. We also had occasional oversights or hiccups that both parties had responsibility to work through to make right. While I worked hard to project manage and keep all contractors on their game I was impressed overall with Ian and his Qualmax Team from Lisa in the back office to the guys on site. This team works hard, is well mannered, thoughtful and enjoyable to be around. They also clean up every night like you wouldn't believe which is rare in my experience. Qualmax saw our job through to the very end and we now have WCC code of compliance and guarantee requirements met. Special thanks to the regulars on site doing a great job: Justin (always here first and doing the hard yards), Chris, Bish, Luke and Andrew (one of the best, high quality, attention to detail tradesman I have ever met, Andrew led most of our job). Thanks Qualmax, well done."Rating by: Grant | Rating posted: 12th Sep, 2016 | Contact: Ian McGill | Job date: Sep, 2016Grant•12th Sep, 2016•More details…

100%"I engaged Qualmax to do some work that required a building consent to improve an extension built by the previous owners of our house that an engineer advised could have posed a risk in an earthquake.
I picked Qualmax because I wasn't sure exactly what we would find and felt it was important to pick a company I could trust, & happened to known Qualmax' owners personally & that they fitted that bill.
I wanted the work done well.
The result was outstanding; the Qualmax team were… excellent to deal with; the quality of work and communication was top notch and they are nice people to have in your house. This is a *genuinely* ethical business which I would highly recommend.

80%"Overall a very thorough job to a very good standard. We probably should have done more up front to be clear the state of the building to be worked on so clear the scope would be that much larger."Lisa Wilson responded:"This project started as a relatively small job replacing some rotten weather boards around a large villa in Wellington. As we started to pull the damaged boards off we discovered that there was a significant amount of rotten framing in behind the cladding. We communicated this to the client and received their go ahead to repair the framing on a time and materials basis as we had no idea how extensive the problem was going to be. More rot was discovered and, again, we sought and received their approval to carry on with the work. I do not know how we could have foreseen, up front, how affected the building was or how we could have communicated more with the client. Fantastic people, difficult situation, stuck in the middle trying to help."Rating by: Derrick | Rating posted: 10th Sep, 2014 | Contact: Ian mcGill | Job date: Jun, 2013Derrick•10th Sep, 2014•More details, one reply…

100%"Great team. On time and very tidy work (they cleaned up every night). Communication was easy and when we spontaneously added an extra building request, it was no bother for the team to complete the request. We had some good laughs and the team was always professional.
Good work - job well done!

98%"I required a single upper face reclad resulting from a complex and protracted interaction with the local council. I sought a reputable builder with the professionalism to complete the job given approved architectural specifications and especially manage the relationship with the local authority; a critical aspect I thought would be controversial at best.
Ian and his team delivered on every aspect of the requirement providing a detailed, accurate and competitive quote, project management,… product superiority and the essential interface with the Porirua City Council (PCC). Qualmax were efficient, tidy and considerate, always on time often putting in long hours to get the job done, especially where multiple inspections caused seemingly unnecessary delays. They worked seamlessly with the architect especially when required to respond to PCC clarifications, some of which seemed excessive. At the inspection for the CCC, specific comments were made of the very high standard of workmanship obvious to the inspector.
"
Ian & his team did an excellent job and I have no hesitation in recommending QualMax for quality of workmanship, customer relations and, most importantly, ability to work with the PCC. //Rating by: Tim | Rating posted: 15th May, 2014 | Contact: Ian McGill | Job date: Feb, 2014Tim•15th May, 2014•More details…

100%"We used Qualmax to do remedial work on a first floor deck so that it met requirements to get a CCC. We found all the men from Qualmax to be very professional, polite and friendly. They arrived on time and worked hard - even in unpleasant weather conditions. Their work was done to a very high standard - exactly as specified by the structural engineer, with no shortcuts taken. We would definitely recommend Qualmax to others and would use them again."Rating by: Robyn Humphries | Rating posted: 17th Mar, 2014 | Contact: Ian McGill | Job date: Aug, 2013Robyn Humphries•17th Mar, 2014•More details…

The team at Qualmax were very busy and there was a bit of a slow start given this was a fairly small job. The work was subsequently sub-contracted to Aaron, a builder that often works with Qualmax, but was still closely overseen by Qualmax… who cam every day to check-in. We had no previous experience of working with a builder but felt we were in very safe hands with Aaron and Qualmax and we are over the moon with the work that was done.
"The work was carried out to a very high standard. The site was kept very tidy and Aaron was professional at all times. The job was finished on schedule and on budget. Any issues that Aaron identified were promptly addressed and we were kept informed of what was happening at all times once the building work started. The job was very competitively priced and a fair price for the work that was done. We would use Aaron and Qualmax again.
