TESTIMONIALS

Dave has a reputation of being the guy who will tackle the 'too hard basket' jobs without fuss and make them look easy. Before using Dave I had heard this from multiple people within his industry.

Dave and his crew did a flawless job moving my house. I look forward to working with Dave and his crew again. 

Toby Tait-Jamieson

Dear Dave and A1 House Movers team, I wanted to write to you and thank you for all you did in managing our house move to Mahia.

Dave you were great to deal with and our builder thinks you are the best house movers around! We are thrilled with your work and wanted to write a personal thank you.

All the best to you all, Annette, Greg, Daniel and Holly Brosnan.

We have used the services of Dave and his team from A1 Building movers recently to move several Lockwood homes as a turnkey operation. One move in particular was very complicated, with a large, long and high load which Dave was able to move in 2 loads instead of at least 3, thus saving us time and money.

The moves were executed professionally and punctually at a reasonable cost. Dave and his team are hard working and do not let up until the job is completed. A real "can-do" attitude. I would confidently recommend Dave and his crew, with their passion and expertise, to anyone wishing to move a house.

Yours Sincerely

I just want to thank you for your energy, commitment, experience and eye for detail that you and your team displayed when re leveling our family home.

While not necessarily challenging, there was a constant stream of unexpected issues that popped up (documentation discrepancies and geotechnical variations). This was complicated by the fact that you were working in Christchurch - a long way from home. Thank you for keeping the project moving.

All the best
Rory
