EXCELLENT Based on 23 reviews Posted on Hayley Paul2026-02-24 I have used Retro Construction several times for big and small jobs. They have always been very thorough and detailed with the projects they do.Posted on Ben Trieu2026-01-29 We recently completed a home renovation with Retro Construction, led by Irne, and overall had a solid experience. Pricing is sharp, the quoting was accurate, detailed, and transparent, with final costs matching what was agreed (including variations). The core build work carried out by Irne and his builder was to spec and of high quality, particularly the foundations, structural work, and major building elements. We also appreciated the care taken with important details, such as the finish of the living space doors and the fireplace mantelpiece. They quickly identified and addressed unexpected issues like rotting framing, which we valued. Angie was responsive and helpful through most of the project. We’ve deducted one star due to a few finishing and coordination issues. Communication slowed toward the end of the project. The painting, done by a subcontractor, had a visible sheen mismatch on one wall. The electrical subcontractor’s work did not fully match the drawings, with some items never resolved. Site clean-up could also have been better. For example, some excavated dirt was swept directly onto the bark garden rather than disposed of, and although a broken window was repaired quickly, we’re still finding small pieces of glass in the garden beneath it. Overall, Irne and Angie are professional, friendly, and easy to work with. We enjoyed working with them and would recommend Retro Construction for the quality of their main construction work and accurate quoting.Posted on Vaughan Saywell2026-01-28 Great wrap around service from design though to final product.

Highly recommend!Posted on Richard Nathan2026-01-23 I was so impressed with response times to queries, punctuality, standard of workmanship and attention to detail, and clean up after the job was well done!Posted on Lucia Ericsen2025-05-04 To find a contractor willing to assist with a small repair, is not very easy. Most builders want the big paying contracts, but Nesuto Newhaven is a Property Management company responsible for the caretaking of 176 apartments in East Tamaki. The complex is now 20+ years old, and we are experiencing ongoing repairs required. We were very happy to find Retro Construction willing to step up and assist us with the small jobs that crop up from time to time. Although small in their eyes, any repair in our eyes is important as we have investors to report to. Trying to find a contractor willing to provide us with a quote or step up to do an emergency repair is quite scarce as recently experienced when a waterpipe burst and a concrete step needed to be cut into, to lay new pipes. Irne was quick to assist us, not only with a superb job, but at a reasonable price. We can highly recommend Retro Construction and Irne Grobler's integrity in executing the job he set out to do.
