- Nick DrysdaleWe have recently had our new home built by classics and are stoked with the outcome! There were a couple of hiccups during the process but the Classics team were on top of it asap and ended up having us in on time! Special appreciation to Mia for her kind and patient approach with us initially and to Wes for his comms and attention to detail. The team were always pleasant to deal with and we appreciated the friendly handover! The house looks stunning! Thanks Classic Builders Tauranga!5/5 stars
- Cameron WineWe recently had a new home built for us by Classic Builders. We found Mia and the team great to deal with. They were helpful in every way. We also had some follow up questions after settlement, they responded quickly and made sure we were happy. If we ever build again we will be using Classic Builders.5/5 stars
- nitin chandClassic builders were a pleasure to deal with from the start! Friendly and approachable staff.we were first home buyers and new to a lot of things. Mia and the team were great in helping us out, from guiding us on what to expect to going out of their way to accommodate our schedules and visits. We quite skeptical to buy something of the plans but the transition from plans to a tangible place was seamless!!5/5 stars
