Heres what our customers have to say
My husband and I used Mako Construction to renovate our 1950s bungalow. Our renovation included replacing some piles, removal of walls, redesigning the kitchen and laundry and the introduction of a new bathroom. We found Daryll and his team were a pleasure to work with. Daryll’s communication was superb and we always felt in control and well prepared for each stage. Due to Daryll’s excellent organisation we were only left without a kitchen for a minimal time which helped family life continue without a problem. Mako Constructions quality of work is superior and the finish to our renovation looks fantastic. They definitely straightened the old house up. Daryll has a very, hands on, practical approach to any structural issues faced and was quick to find solutions and make our vision come true. We are very happy with the finished product and how smoothly it ran. We are now very much enjoying living in our newly renovated home.

We first met Daryll and his crew in 2018, when he helped out and took over a major renovation of our family home. He was recommended to us by our designer who had used him for a number of her projects over the years. Since then, Daryll and his team have worked on several of our properties as well as my general practice and we have referred him to a number of our friends and colleagues who have been suitably impressed. We have nothing but high praise for the team. They are professional and skilled in what they do and we trust them implicitly.

Mako Construction have completed several major renovations to our property over the years. We have had several bathrooms added followed by a beautiful poolroom built from scratch plus the garage enlarged. Daryll has also done an entire kitchen/pantry/dining room & lounge reno that involved removal of a load bearing wall and steel girders inserted in the ceiling, in addition to re-footing work & a complete rebuild of a closed in wraparound veranda. We could not speak more highly of the high standard of Daryll’s work. He regularly spotted the architects omissions & frequently solved curly problems. His lads were easy to have on site, being considerate of us and ultra tidy. Daryll consistently brought in skilled tradesmen, roofers, plumbers, glaziers who were as attention detailed & professional as him. We were always kept us up to date with costs and the invoicing was always transparent & understandable.

I first met Daryll when I was interviewing builders for a large renovation on my own home. I spoke to about 6 builders but knew as soon as I met with Daryll that I wanted to work with him. He was honest about what the work required, forthcoming about estimated costs and open to all of my ideas. We hired Mako Construction to do a large renovation on our home, interior and exterior. During the process they kept the areas as clean as possible, communicated clearly about each step and kept to the expected costs. Daryll even made suggestions on how we could save some money on the build. I continued working with Daryll, and Mako Construction, on a dozen projects over the next 12 years, referring him to clients of my interior design business. Every one of these clients has been very happy with their work and I have never had a single complaint. I continue to refer Daryll without reservation and I highly recommend Mako Construction as my first choice for any building project, large or small.

We used Mako Construction for an extensive renovation at our home while we remained living in the house during COVID with all the difficulties that entailed and found Daryll and his team a pleasure to work with. They always attended on time as promised, the quality ofthe work was faultless, done within the expected time frames and they cleaned up beautifully each day. For part of the period of the work which took place over more than a year we were overseas and Daryll had the keys to the house and everything was perfect when we returned. It was just so easy and very reassuring which were critical factors for us in selecting a builder and as Mako was a personal recommendation from a colleague, we couldn’t have been more pleased. I should also mention that Daryll has been very accommodating in attending to several minor issues that have occurred over the past couple of years unrelated to the renovation - it’s extremely reassuring to have a builder always available as Daryll is.
