ALREADY FEELING LIKE HOME

A Very Merry Christmas and a big thank you to all at Maddren Homes.

We are delighted with the location, design and build of our new house. There is almost nothing we would change about it. It is already feeling like home to us.

Thank you for letting us in in time for Christmas!

A SUPERIOR JOB

Maddren do a superior job; their finishing is impressively detailed, they are innovative and think outside the square, and they focus entirely on you to make the house unique. Maddren partner with strong companies such as Troake, Fluid Interiors, Kinetic Electrical, Harper Designs just to name a few. This allows them to achieve a truly bespoke and high quality finish. We love our family home and get great pleasure knowing we are living in something special

DA BOMB!

What impressed me the most about Maddren are the people! Our design and build consultant was da bomb! As a first-timer in the building game, we had no clue about the process and all. Our consultant was with us from day 1 and I am so grateful for having her on our journey. Then, when we started dealing with the rest of Maddren’s team, I realized why they are an award-winning company. Apart from their craftmanship, they definitely would win the Gold Award for being the most positive bunch!

BLOWN AWAY

We just wanted to email with regards to the service received over the last 2 days from Fluid Interiors, Flooring Vision and Maddren Homes; we have been blown away by the workmanship, professionalism and care received.  What started out 2 days before handover, last month, as an unfortunate disaster has turned into a big positive.  We appreciate things can go wrong and nothing is perfect; the way the guys have worked over the last 2 days has by far exceeded our expectations and we just wanted to thank you all as we do appreciate it is a busy time of the year and everyone is running around to complete work before they head off on the Christmas Break.  It was comments we overhead today that made us feel very special and the fact that not one Tradesman in our home pointed the finger of responsibility for what happened, this shows true professionalism.  

Once again, thank you all very much for everything and ensuring our building experience has continued to be a positive and pleasurable one.

FIVE DAYS EARLY!

After viewing a Maddren Show Home we decided to build our new home with them.

From signing the contract to building our home we were extremely impressed with how friendly and professional the staff at Maddren were. We were kept well informed throughout the build and were very surprised that the time line for the completion of our home was kept, despite some very bad weather. In fact we were five days early! We were also very lucky to have a great Site Manager and two fantastic builders. All the suggested contractors were very good to deal with and were more than happy to give us guidance in making important decisions.

We are very happy with our new home, the finish is to a very high standard inside and outside. We have received numerous compliments on the workmanship and how well it fits into the environment. 

We have no hesitation is recommending Maddren Homes as a very professional and trustworthy building company.

ALL TAKEN CARE OF

We designed and built our home with Maddren  

Our experience was a good one from the start.  As soon as we walked into the Maddren Show home, on Ridgedale Road in Millwater, we were taken care of.  Our design and build consultant spent many hours with us talking through what we wanted in our home and adjusting the layout and drawings accordingly.   We were well informed at every stage of the building process and any queries or concerns we had were always addressed.  Our build progressed on schedule and was completed on time with no major problems or hold-ups along the way. 

Maddren is a family business and has a warm, friendly atmosphere while providing a very professional and reliable service. 

We love our new home and would highly recommend building with Maddren.

MANAGED SEAMLESSLY

In late 2018 we selected Maddren Homes to Design and Build our home on newly subdivided section in Greenhithe, Auckland.

I wanted a fixed price provider who once briefed could manage the job from beginning to end with limited input from me. We took our time with the design of the house, utilising the expertise of their knowledgeable staff and suppliers to finally settle on the build design, fixtures and fittings, Kitchen, bathrooms, paint and floor coverings. This meant that most of the decisions were made prior to breaking ground and my input was needed mainly to make decisions around unforeseen issues. Issues around PC sums for earth works and retaining walls when council changed their interpretation of what was planned. 

Thankfully the interaction with council was managed seamlessly by Maddren Staff who obviously have a great relationship with their council contacts.

The job was managed in full by Chris Good the onsite project manager, he worked hard to keep me informed of progress, and help solve the inevitable issues that happen through any build program.

I very happy to refer Maddren to anyone wanting a high-quality build with very little stress.

OUTSTANDING COMMUNICATION

This testimonial is to acknowledge Maddren Homes for their professionalism, excellent customer service and outstanding communication conducted during the build of our new home. From the initial design of our home to Maddren handing over the keys, we could not have asked for a better outcome. Maddren Homes kept us informed throughout the whole process and their staff were professional as they managed the build. We are totally impressed and thrilled with the quality of workmanship throughout our home and communication with the project supervisor and sub-contractors was seamless. We would like to thank Maddren Homes and all their staff that were involved in building our home. We are so happy and have no hesitation in recommending Maddren Homes to anyone that wants to build a new home.

WE HONESTLY COULD NOT BE HAPPIER

We honestly could not be happier with our completed Maddren Home. After only hearing positive comments from people who have bought a home built by Maddren, or have had one built through them, we were not disappointed – in fact, our expectations were exceeded. 

Right from the get-go we felt valued, supported and listened to.  The home we have ended up with caters for our family perfectly – a reflection of how well the team at Maddren considered what our needs were and designed a home to suit.  Our family of six has a home that is big enough to give us all some space, without being a monstrosity, and at the same time it is modern and funky.  We are amazed at what we have ended up with, with the budget we had.  

Every team member we came into contact with was approachable and professional.  It is evident that this is a business operated by a close family who values its staff and clients alike.  Even after the build and when the keys have been handed over, the relationship between the client and company is ongoing.  They really care about your continued happiness and no job, however big or small, is left unattended. The attention to detail and finishing is second to none and we feel so safe in a home we can trust.  

We see it as a privilege to be associated with Maddren Homes – we couldn’t be prouder of what they have helped us to achieve.  It is not surprising that Maddren Homes has such a great reputation.  We would not hesitate to recommend them to anybody or build with them again – however, we are so happy in our new Maddren home that it’d be hard to leave it!

A special thanks needs to go to Keegan, Jesse, Alistair, Jake and Andy.  These guys were an exceptional group to work first hand with.

Understanding Our Vision


Tucked away off the dusty, busy road of Jl. Raya Silakarang, the entrance a graveyard of statues and stone water features, and the rhythmic tapping of tools audible from under the modest tin-roofed structure. Chris and Pat were on a mission to find Bali’s best kept secret - local craftsmen Wayan Eka, whose exquisite, hand crafted stone carvings adorn five star hotel lobby’s and luxury resorts. It was during this latest trip that the rumblings of inspiration started bubbling to the surface for building Chris and Pat’s dream home.

Fast forward two years and the rhythmic tapping of tools commenced construction of the stone wall entrance that would welcome guests along floating steps above a serene fish pond, reminiscent of a Balinese spa.

A luxurious tropical resort was the thread woven throughout Chris and Pat’s fifth and final build. From the 400kg sandstone carving on the entry wall, the romantic freestanding ensuite bath, to the private decks off the guest bedrooms, you’d easily think you were in a five star resort. “We love simplicity and wanted it to be easy to look after while giving us the privacy and peace we need”, says Chris, who’s green fingers designed the lush outdoor environment complete with bubbling stream. And it was cocktails on the loungers by the Sofitel Hotel pool that seeded the idea for giant palms growing through the deck to cast natural shade during summer. 

As an artist and bespoke audio craftsman, Chris had a vision for the balance of easy living and uncomplicated luxury. And it’s clear to see that not a single detail has been overlooked. The beautiful vaulted cathedral ceiling with soft gradient LED lights create a peaceful glow for unwinding at the end of the day. Or a roam around the house is made easier with lights automatically turning on as you enter a room.

It’s these personal touches that are expressions of both Chris and Pat’s lifestyle, resulting in a liveable, low maintenance home that is as bespoke as it’s owners. 

“It was not only understanding our vision and how we wanted to live, but the craft that went into every detail that really makes it our home.”
