That’s why a Bayline house can’t be matched for value.

Having moved to the Central North Island, our search began to find a builder that we could entrust to build our forever home. We spoke to lots of locals who had built with Bayline and without exception, all were very happy to recommend Mike and his team. From our first meeting with Mike we knew he was someone we could work with. He takes pride in his reputation as a quality local builder and understands both the clients’ emotional and financial commitments when building their home. We have to say we were very impressed with the professionalism shown by all of the Bayline team and the quality build and aftercare service that Mike has delivered with our home has far exceeded any expectations we had. Like those before us, we cannot recommend Bayline highly enough. With Mike you are more than just a house build and that personal care and attention to detail is what made the process so enjoyable. Thank you Bayline Construction for making our dream a reality!”

Just a quick shout out to you and your Team. It’s been a little over 3 years since we moved into our new home built by your Bayline Construction Team. We were living in Porirua at the time we signed up with Bayline Construction. To be fair we were a little nervous given the distance, however, any trepidations we may have harboured were soon dispelled and our due diligence proved correct. Communication – proved to be first class from Day One, with regular updates. Timeliness of Build – from the start, one Team committed to our build, completed on time and within budget. Their diligence and discipline onsite was to be commended. Attention to Detail – Doing it Right & Doing it Once. Excellence was the mantra of your Team. Apprenticeship Scheme – We were encouraged by your commitment to developing the next generation of Builders. Naturally we have discussed our build with others, both here in Kinloch and folk in other provinces, so for the reasons outlined above, it is without hesitation and with confidence that we can recommend your company of Bayline Construction as quality personified. We are happy to chat with any prospective clients. Once again, many thanks for your efforts.

Mike & Shirley Wright

We asked Mike to construct a quote for a proposed addition to our house. He came promptly to assess the work and discuss our requirements. His quote was realistic and well considered. We engaged Bayline Construction to do the work, and have been very pleased with the standard of work, which was completed on time, and within the budget set. The alterations are sympathetic to the existing structure of the house, and show attention to detail. Mike listened to what we wanted and his work shows a real attention to detail. He always responds quickly, in person, to any queries we have. We have no hesitation in recommending Mike Darvill, and Bayline Construction.

Mark & Pauline Bradley

When deciding we wanted to build our first home for our young family we looked into a few different building companies. We chose Bayline builders because Mike was great with his communication, he was enthusiastic and we loved the unique design of Bayline houses. Throughout the whole process Mike and his team were very approachable, professional and had awesome ideas for our family home. The workmanship was always amazing, throughout the build the team communicated every step of the way and finished our home within the budget and timeframe we had. If we were to build again we would definitely choose Bayline Builders.

Hannah & Mason Brown

Mike and the team from Bayline certainly delivered on a top notch quality home for us and all on time. We found them to be very professional and open in all our early planning discussions right through the building process to the final hand over. We would certainly recommend Bayline for anyone that is intent on a quality home build. Thanks guys for delivering a great result for us - we couldn’t be happier.

Elwyn & Nadine McGoram

After purchasing a section in Kinloch, I meet with several building companies before being recommended Bayline by a friend. Upon meeting Mike, he immediately stood out as being genuinely committed to producing quality homes that were not only finished well, but also built to last. After a quick second meeting I felt totally comfortable leaving the whole thing with Mike while I headed out of the country for the majority of the build. Knowing he would have the same qualified builder onsite each day was key to my confidence in Baylines commitment to ensuring quality. At no point during the project did Mike have to come back to me with any questions or concerns, any questions I had however were answered quickly and clearly leaving me with now confusion on what was agreed. Having Mike hand over the keys to my new house on time, on budget and without a single thing I was unhappy with says a lot about himself and his staff. The whole process was an absolute breeze. I simply cannot recommend Bayline Construction highly enough and will definitely use them if I build again in the future.

Stephen Stretch

When we were selecting a design build team for our lake house at Whareroa, it was important to us that we had complete trust and confidence in the architect, builders and sub-trades. Building 350km away from your home base is quite a daunting process and from the first meeting with Mike, I felt very comfortable that we had found a builder that understood the brief, had the capacity to achieve the desired result, and the association with a quality design team and sub-trades. From design to delivery, nothing was an issue, communication was smooth and hassle-free. Mike would email photos on a regular basis, which meant site visits weren’t needed as frequently as you might expect. The completed home has delighted us and drawn many compliments from locals and guests alike. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Bayline Construction to people wanting a quality result without any hassles.

Jan & Glen Taylor

We heard about Mike and Bayline through friends and had them design a Bach for us before we even bought the section owing to the shape of it. The brief was 4 bedrooms ensuite main bathroom, with separate toilet, all open plan with that main bedroom in front with as much glass along the front to capture the view. Straight off they got it bang on! Start date was August 1st to be finished by Christmas - the keys were handed over on Dec 19th!! All through the build we were kept informed by phone, email and photos and felt we were No 1 priority throughout. His crew were very friendly and obliging, plus the tradies were all locals which sped up the whole process. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mike and Bayline to anybody wishing to build their dream Bach or Home.

Sarm & John Bojesen-Trepka

We met Mike at his show home on Anniversary weekend last year and had a look around the show home. We liked the features and quality of the build and really liked the country style of build. After talking with Mike we set up a meeting with himself and his architect, who listened to what we wanted, offered suggestions and on our next meeting we got a plan that we did not change!! From the day the floor went down we have had absolutely no problems with Mike or his team, if anything Mike has already sorted out before you even knew about it. He is very professional and really has that passion to deliver to you a beautiful home and he treats your home like it is his own. We have already had several people knocking on the door asking if they can have a look around and are very impressed by the quality of the build and the features, we cannot speak more highly of Mike and his team. It has been such a wonderful experience that should we ever build again Mike will be the builder. We have no doubt that should Mike build a house for you all you need to do is the move in and start on your gardens.

Adrian & Robyn Hill

We chose to work with Bayline Construction because of their genuine interest and willingness to create a great home from a concept through to the finished product From the outset, Mike & his team were organised, punctual, and front footed which made it an enjoyable experience throughout. Communication throughout the design & build process was consistent and easy, with the team always having time to discuss elements of our home. For anyone thinking of building, then spending time discussing it with Bayline Construction is well worth it. We are very happy with the end result and feel lucky to live in a great home.

Duncan & Victoria Matthews

We met Mike by chance when we were looking at Sections for sale in Kinloch, he introduced himself and took us to his own house to show us build quality etc. we were impressed both by the build and by Mike himself - our kind of guy !! Following his advice we purchased a Section and as we were living in Spain at the time waiting for our residence visas for NZ. All through the build communication was excellent, everything from building permits to heaps of photographs keeping us informed every step of the way. The house is truly awesome and exceeded ALL our expectations. We have no hesitation in recommending Bayline and Mike and certainly would use him again. It’s a No-Brainer really BAYLINE BUILD BETTER.

Jon & Pip Harris

The best thing we ever did was have Bayline build our lake house. The service and support we received made us feel very much part of the whole process. What’s more, this is ongoing. Our experience has been just fantastic. We can’t say enough everything was completed to the highest standard, on time, and to budget. They would definitely be at the top of our list should we build again in the future.
