Testimonials
Lakeside Architectural Build
"Hayden Taylor was the foreman on our new build house in Lake Hawea that was completed in 2018. The build was complex, approximately 500 sqm with a build cost >$3m. Architect was Parsonson Architects.
We would have no hesitation in recommending Hayden Taylor both as a builder and manager of a complex project. For a large part of the project we were based in Australia and Hayden went out of his way to communicate clearly with us and called out issues of complexity or where the plans needed interpretation/review. Without doubt his intervention on some issues resulted in a better quality outcome and his attention to detail was very impressive. He held high standards on getting the right results with minimum waste/cost, and communicated clearly the trade-offs." – Nigel Williams
Coromandel Bach Renovation
"Hayden recently project managed, renovated and installed a kitchen at our bach; also a total bathroom renovation. His attention to detail is excellent; his communication and consultation with us during all aspects of the renovation couldn't be faulted. We would not hesitate to recommend Hayden and the team at Taylor Buildcraft." – Alison Marson
Studio Conversion + Landscaping Build
"Hayden and his apprentice Henry worked on three very different projects for me. One was a garage conversion to a studio space, one a fencing job, the other was a backyard landscaping project recently and they were excellent. Both were a bit of a design build situation, solving a few unknowns as we progressed. They were always on time, worked as efficiently as possible and helped me find ways to keep material costs down, but still keep the quality in mind. Very happy with the outcome and would highly recommend Taylor Buildcraft to anyone with a big or small job." – Ric Balfour
Rental Property Maintenance
"Hayden did a bunch of repairs on our house in Thames to make it ready to be a rental. He was super easy to work with and got things done quickly and efficiently. I would absolutely hire him for my next project." – Glenn Gebhart
Our story
Following 10 years living in Wanaka, building and project-managing on architectural builds, Hayden, his wife Jackie, and two children relocated to the stunning Kauaeranga Valley, nestled at the base of the Coromandel Peninsula.
Recognising the need for professional, dependable high-end building contractors in the greater Hauraki Thames Coromandel region, they formed Taylor Buildcraft Ltd in 2023. Working locally over the past 6+ years, Hayden has developed solid relationships with local sub-contractors who also strive to deliver high-calibre work.
When you choose Taylor Buildcraft for your project, you’re in good hands.
