Cain Built Review

WHAT
OTHERS
SAY

“Tim and the crew at Cain Built are very professional and work to high standards. Cain Built undertook a renovation on a two story 1974 built house. The results are amazing and was completed on time and within budget. Tim is a good communicator and keeps you informed every step of the process and was flexible when we made last minute changes during the renovation. Highly recommend Cain Built when undertaking renovations and I would not hesitate to use them again.“

“Highly recommend Cain Built for their standards and reliability. Tim was referred to me by a trusted plumbing/electrical company to carry out the renovation in the upstairs bathroom & toilet. At every step, Tim provided expert guidance as well as valuable insights to tradeoffs with various options - which I absolutely appreciated. Ben the site foreman went above and beyond with other addition jobs outside the scope, and was always cheerful every time I see him! The entire place was kept extremely tidy, and great care was taken on carpet flooring etc. Tim personally turned up on final day to do another round of vacuum, clean, touched up walls, including sorting the skip bin....just a remarkable attention to details professional. One of the best things is the transparency in pricing/costs, subtrades, scope variation, timeframes, and all the certifications. Cain Built remains my default first choice.“

“Tim and the team have done 4 big jobs for us so far on two different properties. Everything about the experiences has been brilliant. From the initial & ongoing contact, to the workmanship, follow-up and the ability Tim has to arrange and manage other specialties in the industry to provide a total building service. Tim is also not shy about advising when work doesn't need to be done and has saved us literally thousands by simply being an honest guy and great at his craft. I will not use anyone else for builds or renovations.“

“I can't recommend them highly enough. The work was to a very high standard, we were so pleased with the result. Throughout the whole process Tim and his team were great to deal with, they made sure we were impacted as little as possible by the renovations, they were punctual, tidied up after themselves daily to such a high standard. They kept us informed with progress, they were accommodating with any changes we presented them with, communicated well and were great to have around. Tim and his team are polite, respectful and real perfectionists.“

“After a punctual start and excellent co-ordination between Tim and his electrician, plumber and tiler, the job was completed in 7 days. Not only were we delighted with the workmanship and attention to detail, but we had no concerns about leaving the guys to work in our home whilst we were at work all week – a major consideration when employing tradesmen, in our opinion. We would have no hesitation in recommending Tim to anyone who is looking for quality workmanship delivered on time and on budget. Feel free to ring me on 021 966 536 if you want more details.“

“Cain Built were very conscientious about managing the noise, dust and work schedule to accommodate our needs and even during the intense heat they just continued to work. But to us the absolute highlight without a doubt being parents with young children around is they were professional, didn’t swear and were very polite and patient with the kids unlike all other experiences I have ever had. So if you are looking for a hardworking, competent, polite, family friendly building crew then you have found them in Cain Built Ltd. We’d use them again in a heartbeat.“

“Tim’s workmanship was excellent and timekeeping 100%. It was always pleasing to see the boys working in all conditions with enthusiasm and humour. Tim was unfazed by bad weather, difficult situations or council paperwork. Tim worked with subcontractors and building inspectors well and on a number of occasions I witnessed him taking a strong stand to ensure the project was not held up. Tim ensured that all inspections were ticked off and a final Code of Compliance was issued. My daughter and I were delighted with Cain Built and would have no hesitation in recommending Tim and his team to anyone wishing to have a project managed and built professionally from start to finish.“

“If you want quality and peace of mind with your project look no further. Tim's team have got you covered. Our plan was to open-up our 1950s state home with living and dining areas opening into a deck. With our building plans and consent we consulted with Tim. First impression was he knows his craft back to front. He spotted loopholes in the plan and questioned items which other building companies didn't notice when we were canvassing the right building team for us. From there the project went smoothly with a few bumps which Tim's team addressed without raising any concerns on our part. The attention to detail is spot on. The team is dedicated and takes pride in the product they produce at the end of the day. They are very professional and at the same time treated us as family. Communication is superb. They would also go an extra mile to fulfil your wish list. Tim is very hands on. Our renovation journey with Cain Built was very satisfying and we would undoubtedly recommend them and should we have another project we would definitely get them on board. Three cheers to Tim and his awesome team. Thank you so much for making our dream a reality.“
