Our Guarantee

9 House has the most extensive industry guarantee, the New Zealand Certified Builders Halo 10-year Residential Guarantee. This product covers you for workmanship, materials and services provided by our company.

But our guarantee doesn't stop there, in addition to that we offer you our personal 9 point guarantee. We fervently promise you the following things will happen on your project!

01: 'Vision to fruition' session valued at $250

Our owner Ruben Nijenhuis will visit you personally to discuss your vision and ideals for your project. Ruben will take you through our approach and discuss how we can create the dream home that you deserve.

You will receive an inspiration pack with FAQ, guidance, checklists and information relevant to your build that will help you navigate the process.

02: Clear and Concise Costing

After reviewing the final plans and gaining a good understanding of the project from yourself and your Architect, we will work with our Quantity Surveyor to establish a detailed cost proposal. We will ensure that all planned areas of the build are considered and costed. This provides you with the most professional and accurate costing for your job in the market.

03: Peace of Mind and Assurity with Customised Contracts

We will provide you with a customised contract via New Zealand Certified Builders Association which will be tailored to your project and cost structure. This will give you clarity and assurance of our deliverables to you throughout the build and beyond.

04: Transparent Cost Tracking  

We guarantee to ensure complete cost transparency throughout the entire building process. Any variations will be clearly communicated and approved by you before any associated work begins.

05: Timeline Precision

We will provide accurate start and completion dates, keeping you informed and updated on the progress of your project every step of the way. Our commitment to precision ensures your project stays on track.

06: Family Owned and Operated

We understand that building or renovating a home is a huge monetary and emotional investment, which is why we have intentionally committed to only take on a handful of projects at any one time. Ruben and Karla will remain hands-on throughout your build so that you know you are receiving our full focus. As a family business, our company values are a reflection of our personal ones; Integrity, Respect, Transparency, Quality and Dedication in every aspect of our work. We will treat your home as if it were our very own.

07: Open Communication

We will provide clear, consistent communication, ensuring you are always informed and involved in the building process. 24/7 access to our online portal, weekly toolbox meetings and client wrap-ups keep you in the loop every step of the way.

08: Team of True Craftspeople

Our team are hand picked by Ruben and Karla, not only for their quality workmanship, but also their shared values. Our Builders are highly experienced, hold National Certifications through BCITO, are LBP licensed and absolutely passionate about their craft. 

09: Complete Quality Control

In addition to being backed by a quality team of Builders and sub-trades, we have developed a 100 Point Quality Control Checklist, so that we can monitor and maintain our elevated standards throughout your build.
