Simon and Jane built their first brand new home in Taupo, New Zealand and had this to say about the urbo homes team...

• “I am happy to write positively about our experience building our first brand new home in Taupo.  We had recently sold our holiday bach and acquired an undeveloped section on which to build. Although it was early on in the year we knew we had to move quickly to ensure we had a place for Christmas.  After an initial phone call to you, we gave details of the site and asked what you could suggest.
  
  Very promptly we had in the mail in Auckland a copy of our site plan with some suggested layouts to consider. After some minor cutting and pasting and faxing back and forth, we settled on a plan we could price.  We also wanted something different, like a tongue & groove style interior, schist cladding outside and so on. We were most impressed that nothing was too difficult and urbo homes always obliged with a solution.
  
  The construction phase was equally easy, and liaison with the site representative by phone call from Auckland.  The tight timeframe of a handover on the last working day before Christmas was met and the team has provided excellent after sales support for any minor issues.
  
  We are happy to endorse their operation and openly offer our home as an example of a job well done.”

With Geoff’s award winning home urbo homes won the Bay of Plenty and Waikato Regional Master Build Awards and reached the 2003 National Master Build Awards.  Geoff wrote to urbo homes...

• “It is 1 ½ years since urbo homes completed my home and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for a job well done.  It is great to be able to undertake a project like this and have no problems at all during planning, construction and completion.  I certainly look forward to the future living in a modern and warm home with awesome views.”

Lois had this to say about their urbo home...

• “It is now just over a year since you completed our new home.  We are still very pleased with the finished product and would like to say thank you for the courteous and professional way everything was dealt with.  You took all the work and worry away from us and we can recommend to our friends that building a home through urbo homes is so easy and rewarding even to an elderly couple as ourselves.”

Mal was so pleased with his urbo home on a lifestyle block in Rotorua, New Zealand that he is in early talks with the team about building again...

• “When I first approached Martin about building a house based on my sketch plan he was very keen and totally professional.  His team came up with a design that has turned out to be perfect for my section.  During construction the only delay was caused by weather.  I am in early talks with Jeremy and Martin about building for me again.”

Zane and John had to say this about their urbo home in Turangi, New Zealand...

• “We chose urbo homes to build our first self-designed home as they were incredibly interested right from the first conversation we ever had.  urbo homes appealed to us as they had a modern focus and were happy to come forth with great ideas and they were not stuck in a time warp as some other building companies are.
  
  From initial rough drawings through to the final building plans, the design project was clean and effortless and nothing was ever too much trouble for the urbo team.  Even right at the last minute we were able to change details and specifications with encouraging comments from the team each time we did so.
  
  We enjoyed a great partnership with all the people involved throughout the building process and we would and have recommended urbo to others who may be contemplating building their own home.  Having just purchased another section we plan to use urbo homes again in the not too distant future and we look forward to being involved with the same team once more.”

Dale & Caroline from Rotorua, New Zealand were impressed by the professionalism of urbo homes and wrote...

• “Thank you for the opportunity to express our satisfaction with the standard of our home, built and completed by your team in July 2003.  A year later we are both still completely happy with the house, and pleased to say that we can’t find anything we dislike about the place!
  
  We were both very impressed by the professionalism of the urbo homes team, from their totally supportive and flexible attitude, to the timeliness and quality of their finished product.
  
  We would definitely not hesitate to recommend them to others, in fact we have already done so on numerous occasions, and doubt whether we would ever use a different building company for any future developments that we may undertake.
  
  Best wishes for the future and here’s to the success of urbo homes.  We look forward to our next house already!”
