Lachie and his team are the A team! Top quality craftsmanship, on time, easy communication, super friendly, and on budget! Just finished stage one of our renovations with him and I couldn't be happier. Can't wait for stage 2 to begin! Can not recommend enough!Yali Cottan
We highly recommend YourTradie for home renovation projects. As an architectural and interior design studio, we trust Lachie with all our renovation, kitchen, and bathroom builds. His expertise, attention to detail, and genuine care for clients consistently impress us. The quality of workmanship is always top-notch. If you're looking for a reliable and skilled builder, you're in safe hands with YourTradie. Definitely a 5-star experience!Leigh Garner Lachie was our builder for the renovation of our 1910 villa in Mt Eden during the autumn of 2022. We undertook a complete re-design and fit out including a new kitchen, two bathrooms, wooden and carpet flooring, cabinetry, and fireplace and surround. Lachie’s professionalism and capability was evident from the beginning of the project. We quickly developed trust and confidence in him and the yourtradie team. They delivered exceptional high quality work which they really took pride in. Lachie was easy to communicate with, and he effectively managed and worked with other tradies to co-ordinate and sequence the work. He worked very well with our interior designer and project manager, achieving a seamless process and all during the challenging 2022 COVID lockdowns! Lachie’s work was integral to the transformation of our beautiful home that we are truly proud of. We would not undertake such a project again without him and the Yourtradie team.Martin Hunter What started out as a dream idea, Lachie and the team turned into reality. From start to finish every step was delivered with precision and great quality. We gave them some pretty tight deadlines and they smashed it out of the park. Great communication from the onset and throughout. Could not have imagined the results that they achieved. Was well beyond our expectations and will definitely use them again. Thanks team!!Stacey Archer - An incredible experience. High quality of work, and a very easy experience.Meticulously managed from start to finish would definitely use again for all renovations.Damien Dougherty Very professional in all aspects.Trevor Elia Absolutely amazing team. Love our renovationMehrsa Arefi Lachie and his team did a great job renovating our very dated bathroom and toilet. Nothing was a problem, even when our new toilet was damaged in the Auckland floods - Lachie got a replacement straight away. I found them professional with great communication and the job was completed in the timeframe we were given. I would definitely recommend Yourtradie if you’re looking to renovate. They were reliable and provide a great service!Carolyn Butland

We have used these services a few times, so it has to mean that they know what they are doing and fair pricing. The end result has always been excellent. Will use again!Mike McCarthy We have used these services a few times so it has to mean that they know what they are doing and fair pricing. The end result has always been excellent. Will use again!Mike McCarthy - I contacted Lachie after our property was damaged by a landslip in January. He was quick to respond and easy to communicate with. He projects managed all tradies that were needed to complete the job in a timely and cost-effective manner. Benny and Richard did a great job and were really nice guys to have working on the job. I highly recommend Lachie and his team at Your Tradie, they are all a pleasure to deal with. Thanks guys.Sherrie edwards Thanks to Lachie and team for bringing our bathroom into the 21st century. What a transformation! Great comms and quality work from all his team.Paul Dromgool I contacted YourTradie on the recommendation of a friend, when I was in need of a building contractor to complete a strip out of my grandparents' badly flood damaged home. Lachie and his team completed the strip out very promptly and provided professional advice to our insurance company regarding reinstatement/repairs required as requested. In the end YourTradie project managed/carried out a rull reinstatement of the 3 bedroom home. Throughout the process Lachie advocated for my grandparents interests/liaised with our insurer (no mean feat) and delivered a beautiful finish on time and without any dramas. His professionalism, patience, communication and timeliness was so appreciated and made a very stressful time that much easier on us all. Gwen, team interior designer, took the legwork out of making all finish selections in order to save my elderly grandparents traipsing all over Auckland - providing a selection of finishes within budget and requested colour scheme for them to choose from. The result is modern, practical and cosy and has accentuated the features of the property like the higher stud. Thanks so much, YourTradie team. I would encourage anyone in need of building/project management services to contact YourTradie, you won't be disappointed.Cassandra McAllister-Lyons A great quality job from start to finish. Well coordinated, really nice people, an eye for detail and good finish. Highly recommend this business. A pleasure to deal with.Maria & Wayne
Yourtradie did an amazing renovation of our bathrooms. We started with one bathroom and received an exceptional end-to-end service experience, from coming up with a design, specifying product, and working seamlessly with all the necessary trades - Yourtradie had it covered! Everything was so well-organised, there were no delays or problems sourcing products and the quality of the work was excellent. We were so happy with the job on the first bathroom, we enlisted Lachie and his friendly and professional team to renovate our other two bathrooms. Thanks Yourtradie!
