What our clients are saying
We engaged Bruce Design & Build to build a property for a member of our family. We needed someone that was honest, reliable and a high standard of workmanship & we found Russell and his team to be all of the above. During the process of building, as always there can be a few hiccups/changes along the way; Russell addressed these with no hesitation so things proceeded very smoothly.
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.
We found Russell to be a genuine guy, with the home owner’s best interest at heart. He was on the job when he said he was going to be, kept us up to date with progress, his communication and contact was superb. He fitted in with our contractors (kitchen, bathrooms, carpets, electrician, etc). We had no hold-ups or problems on site.
