The pitch

Why we're a good build partner.

Property managers don't need another tradie. You need a build partner who picks up the phone, turns up when they said they would, bills cleanly, and doesn't disappear when the next big build pays better.

We run ongoing maintenance arrangements with Waikato property managers across residential portfolios. The brief is the same every time: same-day response on emergencies, 48hr quote turnaround on planned work, photo-reporting on every job, and one consolidated invoice per month.

We handle the awkward jobs too — insurance-claim work, weathertightness remediation, defect rectification, the kind of scope trades-only crews don't want to touch. Tradesperson availability is real, not promised then unavailable when the call comes.

What we cover

  • Planned maintenance contracts
  • Same-day emergency response
  • Insurance-claim work + assessor liaison
  • Tenant-related damage rectification
  • Weathertightness and remedial work
  • Consolidated monthly invoicing per landlord

How we work

How we work with property managers

  1. 01

    Onboarding

    We meet, you tell us your portfolio scale, we set up direct-billing terms. Most property managers get a single monthly statement across the whole book.

  2. 02

    Job request

    Email or text us the address + scope. We quote inside 48hrs for planned work, attend same-day for genuine emergencies.

  3. 03

    Photo-reported delivery

    Every job documented with before / during / after photos to a shared folder. The file you hand back to the landlord builds itself.

  4. 04

    Monthly invoicing

    One statement, line-itemed by property, reconciled to your trust accounting. Easy to pass through to owners.

    A Hamilton PM — 40-property portfolio

    A Hamilton property manager engaged us for ongoing maintenance across a 40-property residential portfolio. We turn up same-day on emergencies, quote planned work inside 48hrs, and bill a single consolidated invoice monthly. Two years in, still the same crew, same response times.

    A multi-property insurance claim

    After a major weather event a Waikato PM had insurance claims active on six properties simultaneously. We scoped all six within a week, liaised directly with the assessor, and ran the remedial work as a coordinated programme rather than six separate jobs.

    A weathertightness remediation

    A managed property had ongoing weathertightness issues that other trades had patched without solving. We took it back to the cladding, identified the actual failure point, remediated it properly under a fixed price, and gave the owner a 10-year HALO on the remedial work.
