“But most of all a very big thank you to the team at Milestone Homes who all worked together incredibly well to get the house built for us. From meeting with you in the very beginning who gave us an overview and introduction to Milestone, to Christian who efficiently and happily got us sorted with the sales and contract side of things on time, always keeping us informed to message him if we had any queries, his care for us was really appreciated. When the build got underway Jimmy was the one who would take us through this stage. He was fantastic to work with and really admired his ability to communicate well, organise, manage, problem solve quickly, and at the same time kept smiling through it all with the 'client care' at the utmost in his mind and heart.

The end result, after a two year journey for us, is that we are very pleased and happy with how the house has been completed, and looking forward to unpacking and downsizing our things which have been in storage for 2 1/2 years. The transition from the caravan to this home is a very welcomed and celebrated shift!”

"A few years ago we had the pleasure of working with Jimmy Gilbert at Milestone Homes, and we must say, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the initial consultation to the final nail, he demonstrated a level of professionalism and expertise that truly sets Milestone Homes apart. The dedication that Jimmy has shown to his customers is amazing. This was our third new home and by far the best experience we have had or heard about.

Jimmy and the team at Milestone Homes not only delivered a high-quality end product but also made the entire construction process smooth and stress-free. Communication was top-notch, with regular updates on progress and prompt responses to any questions or concerns we had. It’s evident that they value transparency and customer satisfaction.

What impressed us the most was his attention to detail and commitment to excellence. Jimmy and the team exhibited this in spade fulls. The craftsmanship in every aspect of the project, from the foundation to the finishing touches, was impeccable. It’s clear that Milestone takes pride in their work and strives for perfection. We are thrilled with the outcome of our home, and we wouldn’t hesitate to work with Jimmy and the team again in the future.”

"We engaged Milestone Homes to build our home last November 2020. Kevin and Craig were exceptional, beyond comprehension, in their approach to what we both wanted to achieve. Their professional and helpful guidance in listening to our requirements was appreciated. We felt that gave us the confidence to engage this company."

Milestone Homes Matamata

"We have been married 53 years; this home is our 5th new build. We sold our home in Napier to move closer to our children hence choosing Matamata and were faced with that difficult task of choosing a builder. We were extremely thankful that Milestone Homes crossed our path. We would highly recommend anyone considering building a new home to give Milestone Homes Matamata serious consideration."

"We highly recommend Milestone Homes Canterbury if you are looking for a building company that is easy to deal with and provides a professional, personalised, and dependable service. From our very first enquiry to the start of the build, Sue has taken us on a journey that was stress free and well communicated. What we have especially loved is the proactive approach we have experienced, not once having to chase up anything. We are currently based in Australia so this was really important to us. We now can’t wait to make the move into our new home."

"Thank you and the team for everything you did for us. This our second build had a significantly more challenges but you and the team always came through and supported us. We are forever grateful for that. Adam you can be very proud of the team you have and while they had changed since our last build they also did as good a job and the communication is awesome. It’s a reflection of how you operate, so well done."

Johnnie

"Luke has been really helpful and responsive, answering our questions, helping with advice and keeping us updated with how things were going during the build. The end result is a warm, dry house which looks great. I'm happy to recommend Luke and the team if you are looking at a new build."

Ben
Milestone Homes Kapiti

"We built our house with Hamish in 2023 and moved in the week before Christmas. Hamish helped make the whole process as smooth and hassle free as possible, which was perfect for us being our first time building as opposed to buying. Hamish was great at explaining things to us as we went so we understood the process and what was happening at each stage, he also accommodated all of our last minute changes as they came up and although I’m sure it created a lot more paperwork for him he never said it was an issue and was always more than happy to help make our dream home a reality. Overall we loved the process and now love our new home. We plan on staying here for many years to come but if we move again we would love to do this whole build process with Hamish again."

Kelsey

"Couldn't be happier with our Milestone build. Hamish made the process effortless and dealt with any issues or concerns promptly. Choosing a Milestone Home will not disappoint."

Serena and Rod
Milestone Homes Marlborough

"Milestone Homes Canterbury have now completed 3 builds for us and we have been very happy with the finished houses. Wendy was a great communicator throughout the process of each build, keeping us up to date with where things were at. Lockdowns and supply issues provided unexpected challenges; however the builds were still able to be completed with no significant delays, and when the chosen products were not able to be sourced, suitable alternatives were quickly found. We found Wendy to be very professional in all our dealings with her and an absolute pleasure to work with."

Susan
Milestone Homes Canterbury

"Since purchasing and moving into our new home in April 2023 we have been impressed with the standard of finish of the build. More importantly we have been very impressed with the attitude of all of the owners/staff of Milestone Homes, Matamata and to the after sales service that has been provided without questioning. We have built with other companies in other parts of the North Island previously and your company stands out for the reasons mentioned above. We have no hesitation in recommending Milestone Homes as great people to deal with."

Kevin and Rose

“It has been a pleasure from start to finish, the crew always made us feel welcome both on site and in their office, (even when calling in unexpectedly) nothing was a problem for them. The building site was always cleared, clean and tidy. We appreciated the weekly progress updates that included photos. They stuck to their schedule and we were in on time. Thank you very much Milestone and yes, we would do it again.”
