- 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 HunterWhat 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
- 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 ButlandOur experience with Your Tradie was flawless, from start to finish. Working alongside the excellent Fremont Studio, the team is professional, collaborative, and delivers high-quality results. Your Tradie’s precise project management also meant I could easily keep our budget on track, which made for a stress-free renovation.Andrea Simpson
- 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 edwardsI 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
- 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! Sarah & ChrisSarah Holden
- Lachie has worked closely with us on numerous projects offering clients a design/build package that involves meeting not only design needs but understanding functionality and providing a build solution that suited our clients style. Lachie is professional, methodical and meticulous. He takes the time to understand and adapt to our requirements and always gives the correct advice when it comes to the building code and best construction methods.Alicia Jensen

- After moving into a new home, I needed someone to put together brand-new furniture for me. Lachlan from Yourtradie was able to help, promptly within days of my first phone call and affordalbe. Another company I called had a three-week waiting list, so I appreciated Lachlan's quick response and slotting me in. Definately recommend Yourtradie.Aroha AwarauI had some small jobs around the house that needed doing which were beyond my 'DIY' skill set. It had been a frustrating experience trying to get a tradie around to complete the work. Yourtradie were great. They were around at my house and had the jobs completed within a few days of first contact. Would recommend.Allan Buchan
