We found Modus an outstanding company to deal with, they were extremely professional in every aspect of the rebuild with all their contractors and dealing with Colin Bird directly, I could not recommend him highly enough. He was on site each day for two years overseeing the rebuild and working with Auckland City Council to enable this process to proceed smoothly with very small detail examined with an expert eye.”

"We had total faith in our building team from the very outset; they were personable, proficient and professional. Our project was out of the ordinary, requiring initiative and foresight.

We were really trying to make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear and we have to say the result is amazing. The programme started and finished as promised without one moment of concern. Their management and calibre of all trades people associated with the job was excellent.

The whole experience was fantastic and we have since done a second build project with Modus, and we can only say they excelled themselves once again. Thanks Bryan, Colin, Carl, Steve, Mike, Jeff, and the team."

Colin Bird's Modus Construction team carried out our 'reclad' at the 10 townhouse complex of Parnell Oaks (437 Parnell Rd) between October 2017 and March 2020.

While this started as a 'reclad' it ended up as effectively a complete rebuild from the outside in. It became an immensely complicated project caused by the progressive uncovering of more and more of the original construction which - despite having been issued with Compliance certificates by the Council, didn't meet the building code of the late 1990s, let alone that of 2018/19.

The potential for complete disaster was high. But was avoided by good project management, responsive architects, and particularly by the flexible attitude of the Modus Construction team.

Modus went out of their way to accommodate the residents, minimising the time units were uninhabitable and doing the complex section by section. There was no question this made life much more difficult for the Modus team than insisting on an empty complex from start to finish, but it made a stressful process easier for the owners - as well as avoiding having to find alternative accommodation for 2.5 years with its attendant costs.

I highly recommend Modus and would be happy to respond in person to any queries.

"Modus sets very high standards on itself as to quality and integrity

Modus would rather lose a possible job than compromise quality and integrity

Moduls will always try their very best for hte clients and the projects...

I have found Modus to be thoroughly truthful and honest in all my dealings with them, and that experience is supported by all the clients that have had work done by them and myself"

"Over the past 12 years, Wheatcroft Builders have built 4 architecturally designed houses for us and in each case we have been extremely pleased with the end result. The houses have been built to a very high standard, on time and to budget and I have no hesitation in recommending Bryan and his team for similar construction work.

The first two houses, numbers 8 and 10 Waitemata Street, St Mary's Bay, are respectively two and three storey buildings of masonry construction. The other two houses are of timber construction and are located at Garrett Rd, Waiheke Island.

In each case Bryan has been very thorough and worked effectively with both ourselves the client and the different architects to ensure the best result. Project management was of a very high standard, coordinating sub trades, minimising errors, and making sure works were completed on time.

The standards of workmanship have been of a consistently high standard and at all times Wheatcroft builders have stood behind their work and responded promptly to any request.

I have every confidence in Bryan's ability to deliver and fulfil on a residential building contract. We enjoy every day the results of their excellent workmanship."

Yours sincerely

To Whom It May Concern,

Colin Bird from Modus Construction was employed by myself from February to November 2015 to do a roof re-construction and reclad on my property in Whitford.

The work had some challenges but Colin and his team were absolutely fantastic every step of the way.  Colin was on call 24/7 and nothing was ever an issue.  Their communication was seamless and transparent. They are extremely professional and have extremely high standards on work place safety and a tidy building site. 

My two children and I, lived onsite in the house for the 11 months that the work took place and whilst this was not recommended, the Modus boys were very respectful of our privacy.

I am absolutely thrilled d at the end result, Modus Construction has done a phenomenal job on my property and I would have no hesitation at all in recommending them for any future work.

I am more than happy to go into more detail should it be required.

In March 2016, Programmed Property Services and Programmed Skilled Workforce had to relocate to our new premises in Mt Wellington. We engaged Colin Bird from Modus Construction to undertake the office fit-out that we required. The project required a number of individual elements from the different divisional teams within Programmed and within a very short project time-line. Colin was fantastic in bringing all of these factors together as the lead Project Manager. He was instrumental in coordinating the other sub-trades required to complete the office fit-out. He reported back to the
Programmed Project team in a timely manner on the process of project along with the financial reports. Colin’s can-do attitude, consultative approach and ease of contact, made for a successful office fit-out for Programmed that was completed on time, allowing a smooth office relocation for us. I would recommend Colin and the Modus Construction team to undertake any kind of office fit-out and/or refurbishment work. In fact we are about to re-engage him again for some additional works we require..
