Charlie's experience and attention to detail were evident from the start. He brought innovative ideas to the table, like framing up the wardrobes in a way we’d never seen before in New Zealand, which made the finishing look so much tidier.
What sets Charlie apart is his ability to think outside the box - he often finds more efficient ways to achieve a better finish. As a client with a lot of building experience myself, working with Charlie was a refreshing and rewarding experience.
The finishing on our home was incredibly important to us. While the framing might go unnoticed, the visible details are everything - like perfectly smooth GIB board with no peaking, popping, or visible nail holes. Charlie executed even the most complicated details flawlessly, like our intricate skirting boards and aluminium box section that spans three floors, with absolute precision - there was no room for error, and Charlie didn’t miss a beat. His capability on complex, out-of-the-box projects truly impressed us.
We are absolutely delighted with our new home thanks to CC Built. It's a beautiful space that we never get tired of admiring. Every detail is still as stunning as the day we first saw it.

Charlie was awesome to work with. Super adaptable, always thinking ahead, and really took the time to make sure things were done properly. His attention to detail and craftsmanship stood out, especially with the kind of challenges we had.
One of the things that really impressed me was his communication. He could see things coming before they became issues and always brought them up early, which saved us a lot of hassle and kept everything on track. His knowledge of build schedules and timelines made a big difference in keeping things running smoothly.
He was easy to get along with, open to new ideas, whether they came from students, lecturers, or the trust, and great at turning those ideas into something real. That kind of flexibility made a big impact on the project.
In the end, the build couldn’t have gone better. The process was smooth, and the result was something truly special, a space shaped by the community, for the community. Now serving as a public recreation and event centre, it supports events like the AIMS Games and brings people together in a meaningful way.
Charlie played a huge part in making that happen, and we’d love to work with him again..

I had never undertaken any building projects before and bought an apartment on a whim. But when I met Charlie, I knew I had found someone special. We clicked instantly, and after seeing photos of his previous work, I was confident he was the perfect fit for my vision.
Charlie's passion for working with wood aligned perfectly with what I wanted throughout the apartment. He listened to every idea I had and was always available, whether it was a 6:00 am text or a late Sunday night call. Charlie elevated the project to a whole new level, expertly balancing high-end and cost-effective elements. Working with Charlie was an emotional journey - he truly understood my vision and brought it to life in a way that exceeded anything I could have dreamed of.
