What our clients say

Paul & Deb’s Technical Build

“Ferguson Contacting built our first new house for us on a steep incline on Princes Drive. It was a technically demanding build that Matt completed on time, within budget and to an extremely high standard.

Matt understood what we were trying to achieve and made sure all subcontractors completed their work to his, and our, high standards. During the build he came up with ideas to either enhance our property, or small changes that would cut out costs and enhance our vision.

We have since moved to Christchurch and get Matt to do any repairs on the house - always tenant or weather-related, and do work on our rental properties. We are remote so not always able to articulate what we need to be done and need to rely on Matt to look at the property and interpret the best course of action. We have complete trust that Matt will produce an outcome that will meet our goals in the most efficient and cost-effective way.

We will move back to Nelson in a few years and build another new house. We will get Matt to build it for us. We have no hesitation recommending Ferguson Contracting for new builds, renovations, repairs and maintenance. Ferguson Contracting has worked on all types for us and we have been really impressed with the quality of work and value of the outcomes.”

Mike and Lissy’s Dream Home

“Having worked alongside Matt as a subcontractor on previous builds, we experienced firsthand his great skill with project management and communication. His work site are organised, and his staff are well-instructed, respectful and hard-working. This insight made it an obvious choice to engage Matt for our build.

During our build, Matt’s advice was always well-received. Often Matt had pre-empted an issue and provided mitigating options even before it was even on our radar. In other situations, Matt would highlight ways existing plans could be improved, considering carefully the functionality of the design, the cost and the aesthetic. Matt was careful to plan what day to day decisions were pertinent to the progress of the build and addressed them in such a way that it never felt overwhelming or stressful. In fact, the whole process was absolutely enjoyable.

We both hold Matt in high regard as both a person and as a professional, and we are filled with gratitude with the investment he had in our home. Matt really wanted the best for our family and we feel it is what he achieved - our dream home.”
