3 Real Time Communication The sophisticated Craig Cogan Online Build Communicator reduces need for on site meetings and phone calls. It gives you a real time written record and full clarity in decision making. You know exactly when things are happening and get a full visual record. Because we build solely in Northland and use only fully qualified competent and local staff, you can have full confidence in the delivery of your project. Assured Delivery Best Advice Being locally born and bred assures you of the best advice on appropriate materials and systems to suit the specifically local weather conditions, or make the most of your land characteristics e.g. flood catchments, roofing, cladding etc. Our experience in building (including high EQ zones) ensures you get the certainty of attention to critical structural components for secure construction in all conditions. Moreover, our experience in managing renovations of large and valuable historically sensitive buildings, assures that your ideas and dreams will be translated into real effective solutions. Experience Competent People From the very first contact with Craig Cogan Builder you are talking with a fully qualified builder and current Licensed Building Practitioner. This means you get to connect with builders who have first hand knowledge of the entire building process from start to finish. You are not simply dealing with a salesperson or a business owner/manager who cannot give you expert advice. Further, we think that using experienced sub contractors is important to an overall high quality job. Our reputation is important to us. Because we are involved as members and sponsors of local clubs and organisations and work to improve our local community, we go out of our way to ensure that you are totally satisfied with your purchase to such an extent that you will be able to speak well of us. Trusted Invests In NZ s Future Because we have some future tradesmen on our team working alongside our qualified and experienced tradespeople, we not only keep some build costs down but we help produce great future tradesmen for our country. Low Overheads Our low overheads (no salespeople or franchise fees) mean that either we pass on savings, or you get to choose higher quality products or finishes. Detailed Quotes Since we give you detailed quotes you get to see where all costs are incurred. Should there be plan changes our processes make these transparent to both of us.

5 Because it was our holiday home it was very important to have someone that we could trust to manage the renovation project. Craig kept us up to date with the progress of the build and let us know immediately of any issues that arose. The workmanship was excellent and the project was completed within the expected time frame." Toni & Michael Baxter TESTIMONIALS We wanted to build a one bedroom unit for Jane s Mum to a budget and within a certain time frame. Craig provided a detailed accurate quote and completed the job on time and within budget. During the build we did some additional work and found the rates charged reasonable and transparent. Craig was willing to help with suggestions/options and communicated very well, giving us plenty of notice of all the tasks we needed to perform (e.g. choosing colours, materials etc). He kept the job site clean and tidy throughout the build and completed everything we asked to a very high standard. We have since hired him to do some additional small jobs and would not hesitate to recommend him to anybody thinking of building. Seamas Walker & Jane Symonds - Waipu I have found Craig totally honest (to the extent of lowering the invoice total, compared with the quote, as it came in more economically than anticipated!), with a high standard to building technique. Easy to communicate with, and not backward in suggesting perhaps better ways of approaching something. Craig has done substantial work on three of my properties and I would not use anyone else. His team of workman are polite, friendly and always know what they are doing and enjoy explaining what they are doing. The painter is second to none! I have no hesitation in recommending Craig Cogan for any building work you may require, he s great! (Mrs) Bev Brown - One Tree Point We would recommend involving your builder as early as possible in the design stage as it would save plan changes and extra cost involved. We appreciated the building and sub trades on our job who were highly skilled, flexible, patient, had great ideas and enthusiasm. It was a pleasure to have Selwyn on site for the build. The end result is an amazing practical and quality home and we would definitely recommend Craig Cogan and his team. Ian & Christine The whole process was just easy, everything was on time, went to budget. Craig communicated all the time giving us updates and sending us photos of the progress, all his contractors were great to deal with. The whole process was a pleasure and easy, we would recommend Craig and his team anytime. Sue & James Vardy Just great organisation, kept us informed all the way through the build, great co-operation and made the build easy. It ran to schedule even though the weather was unkind. Gordon & Liz Walker We wanted to complete a 40sqm addition to our home in Ruakaka to budget and during the inclement winter months. We chose Craig Cogan Builders because we re extremely impressed with Craig s honest, down to earth and flexible approach to all aspects of the job from start to finish. He was easy to communicate with and was very particular with regards to quality of workmanship and punctuality by himself and his subcontractors. He was able to complete our job on time and within the budget despite the inclement weather of the winter months. We would not hesitate in recommending Craig and his company to anyone thinking of building whether is be a large or small job. Brian & Pat Parr

7 After returning from valuable overseas experience Craig fulfilled his childhood ambition to have his own local business and live in the area he loves and which he was brought up. Craig says, there s nothing as good as the fishing here. He also enjoys the local golf club. Craig generally stays off the tools and manages his staff and projects to ensure that his clients receive the very best professional service. By hiring only experienced tradesmen, a quality outcome is achieved in every job, and Craig has more time to understand exactly what it is his clients are endeavouring to achieve. He enjoys the organisational side of the business and making it all fall into place smoothly for his clients. He likes nothing more than dealing with people who want a professional job done in a timely manner, for a reasonable cost. Craig lives with his family in a waterfront retreat in the One Tree Point area. CRAIG COGAN: PERSONAL PROFILE
