From the masterful design and then through into conception we had a seamless build process which was anything but stressful. I love the fact it is a family run business where we are treated like people and not just another number. I would definitely build with Thorne Group again as they are a superb team

Being in the residential development business ourselves we were more than aware of the many pitfalls that can arise in and around construction and we can now emphatically state that not once did we experience a bad moment during the whole duration of our build.

Heath Daley, who led the mainstay team of Rob and Harrison, under the directorship of Gavin Morrow, were a formidable group who communicated and actioned without fault. They were able to accommodate special requests of using some of our own subcontractors and were generally flexible with any demands put on them. Quality and client satisfaction is paramount when it comes to this Company. Gavin, Aaron, and Peter are a combination that provides the best possible results for their growing client list, and we, who have experienced their service, highly recommend them to build your home. You won’t be disappointed.

I looked at every building company in the region and nothing was quite what I wanted. I originally thought Thorne Group a bit out of my price range, but when I looked further into it, I realized that wasn’t the case. So I gave Clare a call, and the rest is history.

Building our home with the Thorne Group has been an enjoyable and exciting experience.

Beginning the day we talked sections and house plans with Bob & Wendy, through the building supervision with Aaron and completion on the very date quoted in the building schedule.

Robin and Sarah have built 3 homes with us in the last 10 years as their requirements and desires have changed. Below is a Q&A of their experience with us over the last decade. What made you choose them in the first place? Design, value for money and superb build quality. The Thorne trademark.

What makes you keep coming back/why have you chosen to work with the Thorne Group each time? We don’t think that we could find better. We looked at many competitors show homes and the finish and specification (included in the build price) doesn’t match that of the Thorne Group

What sets Thorne Group apart? You feel part of a family, an exclusive club. People who have Thorne houses are very happy to talk about their experience with nothing but praise.

What would you say to the phrase ‘building is a stressful process’? We would say that you might want to think about choosing a different builder.

After viewing The Thorne Group show homes over the past 2 years, we decided to enquire how we could turn our dreams into reality. Peter and Aaron from The Thorne Group worked with us to develop a concept that was not only unique and high quality but very affordable.
The personal and professional level of service they provided was over and above expectations. The ongoing communication during the build made our experience exciting, enjoyable, and stress-free. We cannot speak highly enough of our building experience and have recommended The Thorne Group to friends and family, so they too can enjoy the journey.

Our daughter had built with Thorne group and we had seen what an easy and enjoyable experience that had been and how happy she was with her home. When we decided to move to Tauranga we were keen to build with Thorne group. We were not disappointed. We were guided every step of the way, making design changes to individualism in our home. The team from office to site manager and builders were excellent. Regular photos kept us in touch with progress and we moved in on time and very satisfied. We would not hesitate to recommend Thorne building group. When we moved to Tauranga and searched for a builder to construct our home, we had a lot of options. What makes Thorne Group stands out is the team who are highly organized, efficient and understands the importance of customer service. It is rare to find such quality in construction business today and we wanted to go with an experienced family business who values the clients' needs.

Last year I moved into my lovely new home built for me by "The Thorne Group." I must admit that I did wonder what on earth I was doing building a home on my own and how the stress of doing so would get to me. It is with much pleasure that I can say that it was a totally stress-free project and I actually enjoyed it.

Aaron Thorne "The Project Manager "was the most efficient, helpful, caring, and happy person that I have ever worked with. Nothing was to much trouble and anything that was not right was immediately attended to by Aaron. He went out of his way to make things easy for me. The builders were also great to work with, as were all the subcontractors.

The result to me was a wonderful well built home and I would not hesitate to recommend the Thorne Group to anyone wanting to build a new home. If anyone should want to visit my home, I would be more than happy to show them my great house.

Thank-you to all involved, I might even do it again!!!

The Thorne Group's knowledge and expertise have been invaluable in the decision-making process ensuring the project meets its build program and that quality is exceptional in its detail. Their approach to business is world-class, professional, and personal.

BOND ST is transformed from months of planning into a unique architectural development built by the very best craftsmen. Thank you for your dedication and diligence, the result is phenomenal.
