Why people trust & believe in us

“They are fantastic. We have used them for numerous jobs over the years mainly renovations but they have done a farm shed build for us too. Their teamwork is fantastic and guys they have working for them are really friendly. And they have great job control. It was their reputation. I own a bakery and people talk and I heard a lot about them!”

James Musk

“We really enjoyed the professionalism of Bill, Karen, and the team. They were able to help us with some tricky moments renovating an older home. We have used them on 2 occasions firstly to do up our 2 bathrooms and our master bedroom and downstairs they have redone our living room and kitchen. Compared to previous experiences with builders, we were very pleased with the standard of finishing, nothing was left undone and done in a timely manner. I have known Bill for a long time and trust him implicitly ”

George & Lara Friedlander

“The relationship was very professional and the construction exceeded expectations. Constructed an Architecturally designed home. The pride and care they took right down to the finishing details.”

David Marsh

“From our initial meeting to discuss the project with Greg and Bill to the day we moved the whole process has been the most wonderful experience! They built our house. Nothing was too much trouble and they produced a house of the highest finished quality. We recommend them as for us they turned out to be the dream team.”

Judy Robinson & Peter Scott

“We cannot speak highly enough of them. Greg has been most helpful. And the quality of the workmanship was excellent. They built our home which we are now living in. Cooperative great communication and timely. We would highly recommend this company to anyone!”

Wyn & Dorothy Chirnside

“They were great, Perfect! They renovated a complete downstairs of house separating off a garage space and then turning the rest into a useable area. The lead builder was really organised and had all the information we required of who was coming on and off-site on a daily basis available to us. They were really friendly and efficient. They had the best quote of four we got and they had a great reputation and name.”

Chris & Sarah Gaffaney

“On the whole a very good experience. They are great communicators. Worked on a small but complex job in the fact the house is a heritage listed building. And while I would do things differently now in hindsight I was very impressed with the company. They have a good track record and experience. They came to us through recommendations. Dunedin is a small neighborhood and friends have worked with W Hamilton Building before.”

Jonathan Barnett

“WHB were excellent at maintaining communication and were very thorough. They extensively renovated our two-storey home and their standard of workmanship and their communication were the reasons for going with them.”

Ali Grant

“Our experience in dealing with W Hamilton Building was just excellent. They converted a tool shed into an art studio, their builders are really easy to get along with, they are friendly and helpful. I had dealt with Bill in the past and that’s why I chose the company.”

Bridgit Paape

“WHB were very open and easy to communicate with, they understood our vision. They refitted our store out. They are good blokes we worked well together. It was through a personal connection we heard of them.”

Craig & Evie Strong

“Very good clear communication and helpful. They renovated our small house into a family home. They worked well under pressure and didn’t let it get to them. We have had friends comment on the level of finish and attention to detail and now seamless the extension works with the existing home. We would recommend W Hamilton Ltd for any building work and would use them again for ourselves.”

Steve & Kate Wellington

“Good as you can get! Straightforward, honest and informative. A pleasure to deal with. They did an extensive renovation for us that included re-roofing, spouting, rewiring, plumbing. There was lots of pressure but the team handled it so well. Greg has high standards and won’t accept anything less. It was just made so easy. Our architects recommended them to us and after meeting we just came away with a ‘let’s do this’ enthusiasm.”

Murray Johnson

“Very good. Greg and Bill are excellent to deal with. Very competent tradesmen. Good outfit to deal with. They worked on a commercial building of ours in Dunedin. Reroofed an asbestos area and earthquake strengthened it as well. We had new tenants moving in and they fitted it out for both groups which was involved and challenging. They are good to work with and very efficient. I have known Bill for a long time but have also seen a lot of his work. So it was a good choice and I would recommend him to everyone.”

Ian Hamilton, Cumberland Commerical Holdings Ltd.

“Right from the start, I was very impressed with his understanding of the job and his open and effective style of communication. They fitted out a commercial premise in a modern attractive, and highly functional Audiology clinic. They demonstrated an ability to carry our special design requirements through to a finished product keeping us well informed. And it was completed on time and within budget. We are looking forward to working with them again!”

Anthony Rowcroft, Audiology South

“We worked with Bill and his team for over a year in planning and delivering The Esplanade Restaurant. Bill is an extraordinarily conscientious builder whose concern for detail and craft exceeded our expectations. Managing the quality of a complex fit-out in the midst of upgrading an earthquake-prone heritage building is challenging: to do so “by remote control” from our office in Auckland even more so! Bill surprised and delighted us by identifying, understanding and acting on the intent of the design, and delivering a restaurant that is more thoroughly resolved and beautifully finished than our drawings deserve. I am grateful for this and would be delighted to work together again.”

Nat Cheshire, Cheshire Architects Ltd.
