“We built with Sam and his team in Whangarei. On time, on budget, and the communication was exceptional throughout. We’d build with them again in a heartbeat.”
Chelsea & Sean
Whangarei, Northland
“Echo Homes turned our dream bach into a reality. Every step reflected their expertise, professionalism, and care, and the craftsmanship is flawless. Sam and Chelsea kept us informed every week and delivered on time and within budget. That’s not just building a house, that’s building a relationship.”
David Sharp
Blue Moon Rise, Langs Beach
“From start to finish, communication was outstanding, and we always felt informed and supported throughout the entire process. We came to Echo Homes with a challenging build, our dream home, and Sam always found a way to bring our ideas to life while working within our budget. The finished home was everything we had hoped for.”
John Parker
“Building with Echo Homes has from day one been a pleasure. They are both knowledgeable and honest in their approach, and the project management was outstanding. The house was completed well within the timeframe with quality and finishes to a high standard. We would certainly recommend Echo and will be using them again in the future.”
Gary Hey
“Sam and his team did such an excellent job from start to finish. Our build was done so efficiently, completed on time, and the final product shows great attention to detail. Communication throughout the process was clear and professional. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a new build.”
Ann Paterson
“Building with Sam and the crew at Echo Homes was epic from start to finish. Everything was seamless, from the communication through to delivery and being involved in the process along the way. We had a record build time and the quality of workmanship and finishings are superb. If I had the chance I’d do it all over again.”
Kylie Farr
“We’d prepared ourselves for a 9 to 10 month build according to all the external advice we’d received, but it was almost 6 months to the day including all the ground work. The speed of the build really blew us away. We got the high quality finish we’d envisioned at the price we’d agreed upon.”
Jessie Larsen
“Sam and his team were amazing to deal with right from the start to the end of our build. The quality is outstanding, and they were so proactive in getting it done in such a record timeframe. His communication and getting us involved throughout the build was such a lovely thing for us. Without a doubt we will be building again with Echo Homes.”
Brooke Broadbent
“We have just completed our family home with Echo Homes in One Tree Point. Our build came in on time and on budget. Sam’s communication, organisation and on-site management were nothing short of exceptional. If we built again, we would not hesitate to contact Sam in the future.”
