Testimonials

"Keola built our multi-award winning centres Magic Kingdom (2011- 2012), Chrysalis (2014-2015) and Gaia Forest (2020-2022). Winning each project via tender, they managed it all professionally and with our interests at the heart of everything, including countless 'value-engineering' exercises to keep the projects on budget and on time."

"We are an ongoing manufacturing business and still had to produce everyday. The fact that you were willing to build the extension on the outside and then break the wall once it was all secure was worth gold to us."

"I was always impressed with the team's ability to come up with a solution, even if it's just a napkin sketch that can eventually be handed over to the building team."

"They did a great job of navigating us through the council process, the structural engineering process."

"It was nice to be a part of the whole journey."

As the Principal of Matipo School, I would highly rate Keola's ability to interpret specifications accurately and efficiently as excellent. Your team has consistently demonstrated an exceptional understanding of our needs and requirements, translating them effectively that is shown in our new classroom spaces. Read more...

Keola were very responsive and professional throughout the build, which, largely down to the tenacity and persistence of the Keola team was an amazing building that the whole project team could be proud of.

Martin V

Director, MAKE Archiects

We have been receiving professional advice from Keola for over six months now, and I can confidently say this is the company you want to do business with. Experts in their field and wonderful people to deal with, Sanjesh andthe team are always solution-focused with an exceptional track record. It has been a privilege learning from Keola, and I cannot recommend them enough.

Ana T

Director, AE Consulting

I have provided architectural design services to Sanjesh and team on a couple of projects for the past decade from single houses to apartments. They are a very experienced team of professionals to work with and can interpret the documentation and the design intent accurately and efficiently. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Keola on these projects and will put them forward for any future projects that need a contractor where timely coordination, communication and collaboration is required to push projects forward.

Ryan S

Designer, Context Architects

I worked with Keola in my capacity as Project Manager on a small scale, commercial project and overall had a positive experience. The team at Keola were professional, responsive, able to interpret design documentation and collaborated well to resolve issues with the design team promptly. I would definitely work with Sanjesh and the team again in future.

Teia W

Project Manager, RDT Pacific

We have built our first family home with Keola. The team at Keola are down to earth people who have the best interests for their clients. Knowing nothing about the building process, we have been guided step by step about what decisions we need to make and given expertise advice when needed. It has been an experience to watch our 2D plans transform into our soon to be home. With our endless questions and queries we have always had a prompt response. We would not hesitate to recommend Keola to anyone who is looking to build their dream home just like us.

I have used Keola for two separate projects: a flood risk assessment for a renovation; and recently to design a large new home. I have also received advice from Keola when we have considered purchasing a couple of difficult to build on sites to see if what we were trying to achieve would be viable. In all instances Keola has been great to work with and very helpful with their expert advice.

Jeroen VH

Homeowner, Westmere

Like-minded civil engineering and property development master planning projects related professionals with great project & operations management. I like their attention to detail with the technological automation they trial to bring great value to their service. They know their clients, with on or above the line behaviours. Last but not least, they have the good old Kiwi can-do perspective.

Grace W

Civil Engineering Consultant

We have recently engaged Keola to design our first home. Keola have been very prompt on responding to our questions about building. The design has been tailored to the site and was surprisingly close to our expectations in the first instance. I do enjoy the openness and friendliness of people we have dealt with.
