What our clients are saying
Having seen houses that Russell and his team had built, we knew that we had chosen a good builder. We were delighted to have our own plan plus Russell’s suggestions, result in our perfect home.
Everyone that we dealt with within the Bruce Design and Build team were professionals. Many thanks
After relocating from Australia, Nicola and I decided we wanted to build. Not knowing any tradesmen we spoke to a couple of builders and viewed their previous work. We felt the finishing work on the Bruce Design and Build homes stood out above the rest.
As an Architectural Designer working in the Nelson region, I regularly work with a large range of builders. In choosing a builder for my own project I was looking for a builder that could handle the project quickly, to a high standard, and for a fixed price. Russ and his team ticked all of those boxes, so for me were an obvious choice.
