Early hours of Christmas morning this lowlife ram raided us. We wanted to take the opportunity to thank those who helped us to sort out the mess he left behind.

A massive thank you to Shon and  PS Brown Construction team who have since made a super secure, almost idiot-proof make-shift door, for us until we can get a new one!

Such prompt and professional service. Please support both of these guys if you’re needing some building done.

Storyteller - Manager

Recently, P S Brown Construction completed fire reinstatement work at Speights Ale House Hamilton.

Despite the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, P S Brown Construction was able to work through the restrictions and supply chain disruptions to ensure that the project progressed as planned. Their commitment to the project was unwavering, and they worked tirelessly to ensure that the work was completed to the highest standards.

One of the key strengths of P S Brown Construction is their wealth of knowledge and experience in the insurance industry. With 35 years of experience working within the insurance business, they were able to exhibit an exceptional understanding of insurance policies and streamlined the rebuild process.

Throughout the project, they demonstrated a great understanding of council regulations and worked diligently to ensure that all necessary permits and approvals were obtained. This allowed the project to progress smoothly and efficiently, ultimately leading to a successful re opening of our business.

Good Businesses have good people, this project had many moving parts the P S Brown team has a strong work culture where challenges provide opportunities for innovative solutions. No matter who was onsite work was completed in a timely, professional, and safe manner.

I would highly recommend P S Brown Construction. Their expertise, experience, and professionalism make them an excellent choice for any insurance claim.

Manager

As you know, in September 2021 we experienced a disastrous multi-million dollar fire to our business Admark Visual Imaging Limited at our Kahikatea Drive Hamilton factory and offices.

It was, and remains a devastating experience. And it had the potential to ruin our business with the loss of both staff and customers. However, with the support of yourself, our Insurer Vero Insurance, Richard Murphy the Assessor who you appointed, and Peter Brown (P. S. Brown Construction Limited) the builder, here we are a year later without the loss of any valued staff, or our valued customers.

On the day of the fire, Peter Brown arrived on-site within hours of the fire. He immediately took a proactive role in organising the removal of debris, installing temporary security of the damaged doors/windows, and blocking off the fire-damaged area of the factory from the smoke-damaged area. He worked closely with us and the assessor planning the major repairs we needed, and despite being very busy, he seemingly prioritised our needs. His calm, common sense approach, with his friendliness and empathy, was hugely reassuring. And his and his team’s flexibility and willingness to help us at the most trying time in our history was a remarkable testimony to their service.

I can unreservedly recommend Peter Brown and his Company P S Brown Construction Limited.

Managing Director

P. S. Brown Construction were engaged by our insurance company to reinstatement an area of FMG Stadium Waikato which had been involved in an extensive fire. As someone who worked with them on a day-to-day basis, I can attest to their exceptional level of professionalism, timeliness, communication, and high-quality work.

P. S. Brown Construction had to work under a very tight timeframe, they were able to complete the job with efficiency and precision thus enduring the fire-damaged area could be used for hospitality at the World Sevens Tournament and the FIFA Women’s World Cup playoff tournament. 

While on site their team communicated with us regularly keeping us informed of their progress and any potential issues that arose. They were proactive in addressing these issues and their solutions were always effective. 

In terms of the quality of they work, P. S. Brown Construction exceeded our expectations, their attention to details was exceptional and they made sure that work was carried out to the highest standards.

I would highly recommend P. S. Brown Construction for any construction project as they are a dedicated team of professionals who take great pride in their work.

H3 Facilities Manager

After experiencing a devastating house fire which was started by a faulty dishwasher. We were daunted and upset at the rebuild and clean-up process as we are in our late 80’s.

After engaging the services of P. S. Brown Construction the procedure became less of a challenge due to their knowledge, experience and compassion. 

It was only two weeks out from Christmas and at the time when materials were scarce. With their great communication and well-organised sub-contractors, the job was done without fuss and in a short time period.

We highly recommend P. S. Brown Constructions for any building requirements.

We are a family of four that lost part of our large rural, two storey home and garage to a devasting fire caused by a barbeque. From the first meeting with Peter Brown, we felt at ease and in safe hands, with his compassion and understanding. 

With Peter’s 30+ years of knowledge and experience in the building trade, and of the insurance and council processes, it took the extra stress off us. Peter’s team of experienced tradesmen at PSBC are quick and efficient at what they do. On our rebuild they also used some subcontractors to complete the work, as all the inside of our home had to be removed back to the studs. The laundry and our son’s room were completely rebuilt as were the garage and carport.

With materials in short supply in the beginning, from the Covid-19 pandemic, it was a bit of a slow start, but we are now very grateful to be back in our home.

We highly recommend Peter Brown and his team at PSBC for any building requirements you may need.

We recently had the misfortune to have a fire in a rental property – thankfully, no-one was in the place at the time. There was significant fire and smoke damage throughout the house, which resulted in a total internal rebuild.

After notifying the Insurance Company, their Assessor met both Peter and Robert on site, the day after the fire, to assist in the evaluation of the extent of the fire damage. They have a wealth of Industry knowledge and a good background knowledge of the Insurance process.

PS Brown offers a complete repair package, from strip-out to a new fit-out and their workmanship was to a high standard. They have a great relationship with their Sub-trades and the team were all very helpful and accommodating with our décor requests and any queries we had, along the way.

After Council delays with a consent process, the team were promptly back on the job and worked with great effort to complete the project in a timely manner.

We appreciate the effort and knowledge that the PS Brown team have put into this project.

Home Owner

PSBC stepped up for the rebuild of my rental property when it was significantly damaged by fire. Being a client living in another city, I found that the level of communication was great with me to ensure that I was informed about necessary decisions and inputs I needed to make along the journey of the build.

There were no surprises and Steve was happy to answer questions I had along the way and to give me confidence in their work. With the additional changes I made to the rebuild, I found that they were very fair and reasonable with the accommodation and pricing of these requests.

On the final inspection, I found their work to be of high standard with a very minimal snag list which was quickly rectified. I would not hesitate to use PSBC in the future. Thanks very much to the great team.

Home Owner - Morgan Emeny

We had the misfortune of having a major fire in our newly purchased rental property at 3/13 Northridge Drive, Hamilton in January 2023. We were and still are, residing in the US, so this was a major setback for us.

Sedgwick were appointed by our insurer IAG New Zealand, and it was Karina Reed who managed the claim for us. She did this in a very professional manner and we are incredibly grateful to her for that.

Karina then appointed P S Brown Construction Ltd to carry out the urgent make-safe and arrange quotes to rebuild the house to its original state.

Steven Harvey was the Project Manager appointed by P S Brown Construction and he did an excellent job with keeping us fully informed of all requirements and the progress throughout the entire project.

Steven met onsite several times with our father/father-in-law who was helping us through the process due to ourselves being unavailable with living overseas. The project progressed well and the rebuild was finished ahead of time.

We would like to thank everyone who was involved and would highly recommend all those who helped get our house rebuilt.

Heidi Hill & Anthony Brown

Home Owner

Thank you very much for your assistance today with our claim. We really appreciate your handling of this unsettling incident.

Along with wanting to thank you for your amazing customer service I wanted to mention how great P S Brown Construction Ltd has been.

Robert Brown turned up very quickly and was very professional in dealing with us and he very quickly assessed and then organised to make our property safe.

He made sure we were kept up to date and knew exactly what was going to happen and when.

I would recommend their company and we appreciate you using their services.

This project involved the reconstruction following fire damage to the kitchen, dining room, lounge, hallway and roof. PSBC tackled the rebuild with expertise and dedication restoring these areas to their former functionality and even better aesthetic appeal.

Under the leadership of Director Peter Brown, the team operates with precision and maintains excellent communication throughout projects. In particular, during a challenging experience of going through fire damage in our home, PSBC demonstrated their ability to navigate difficulties with ease ensuring a smooth rebuild process.

PSBC’s professional collaboration with McLarens insurance assessors was exceptional, ensuring I was consistently kept informed and provided with clear clarification throughout the process. Their seamless working relationship facilitated efficient communication and contributed to a positive experience.

I have no hesitation in recommending the PSBC team to anyone seeking a reliable and skilled building construction company.

You can be assured under their watchful eyes empathy, integrity, reliability and craftsmanship makes them the standout choice in the industry.

Do not hesitate to contact me if you require any further information or clarification regarding our experience with PSBC.

This is a true account of the experiences that I have received from you, Steve, Chappy and team.

Thanking you, all I am so grateful.

P.S. Brown Construction visited our site within days of being requested by our underwriters. Builders arrived onsite to commence work promptly and Craig Hoole was excellent to deal with.

He kept us informed of what was happening and when. He attempted to use local contractors at every opportunity.

We were very impressed with the quality of workmanship and the ability to work around our business so we could remain functional.
