In 2019, when we finally had the budget to make the changes we needed, Karl was our first port of call and together with Kaycee they did a wonderful job… guiding us through the journey that was the project. We were, and still are, clueless about all the things that go into getting a construction/renovation project from concept and across the line, but we are happy to place our full trust in Karl, Kaycee and their talented team to get it done for us. Everyone in the team was kind, courteous and it was a pleasure having them in our home during the construction.
Our project in 2019 was to extend the master bedroom to cover an internal deck, which included extending the roof and erecting new exterior walls on the 2nd storey. From liaising with the architect, electrician and painter/plasterer to the numerous other sub-contractors, Kaycee and Karl kept us in the loop on what was happening and offered their wisdom on difficult decisions that we needed to make along the way. The final results of the project blew us away and we are absolutely ecstatic to have the extra space in the extended room. The whole team did a wonderful job and went above and beyond to get things done right.
We are also eternally grateful for how quickly Karl was able to get here when the tornado in St. Heliers ripped the tarp off our house late on a Sunday evening. At the time we were traumatised from seeing water stream into the house from the torrential rain. Karl rushed over on a moments notice and on his arrival we all breathed a sigh of relief as he quickly reattached the tarp and guided us on what to do to avoid any damage.
I would recommend anyone looking for a builder they can trust to get in touch with KN Construction. We had an excellent first foray into construction/alterations with them and will probably be signing their praises for years to come.
We have no reservation in recommending KN Construction because we have had a very pleasant experience that we would like to share. We are so impressed by their extensive professional knowledge, outstanding work performance and… outcomes, amazing capability in project management as well as their commitment to upholding high standards.
KN Construction completed a bathroom and roof renovation project and new grass-paved lawn project for us with extremely high quality and very very efficiently, even ahead of the schedule! Karl, Kaycee and their team are great communicators, who are always ready to share ideas and information. They respond to enquiries promptly; their use of the co-construct software has also greatly facilitated exchange of information and ideas, making the building processes transparent. We are also grateful to Kaycee who is not only a top-grade administrator but also a designer who has great taste. She has given us valuable advice regarding choices and options.
When we first looked for a reliable builder to renovate our bathroom and roof, we went onto the No Cowboy website and saw the very high rating of KN Construction. We approached Karl and got his response promptly. We were lucky to have found him because he understood our needs immediately and was able to give us his professional advice on the spot. Because of the successful experience gained in the renovation project, (and we shared some good laughs as well), we decided to ask Karl to take on a new project, i.e. using grass-pavers to re-do the lawn. Sure enough, Karl, Kaycee and the team delivered us a neat and tidy paved space before Christmas; and in about a month’s time, we have a lawn with green grass and pavers!
We have no doubt that we will approach Karl again for our next few projects which we have already formulated in mind. Perhaps you should too!

From start to finish Karl has done an amazing job with our new Master bedroom and ensuite. He assisted with the initial plans, and had some great ideas. I really liked that he provided an in depth review of the estimated costs before starting… the job so that we could keep to budget and were not left with any additional expenses or surprises. The job was completed without any major issues and in a very reasonable time period. Karl worked well with all the other tradesmen that were present and helped to organise timelines.
Sometimes I think it is difficult to find builders you get on with and can fully trust. We found this with KN Construction and would totally recommend them to anyone looking for building work.
