What our clients are saying about Pope Housing and Construction...
Thank you so much Pope Housing and Construction and team for making our dream into reality.
From day one each one of you Erin, Elise, Layton, Lee-Anne and team. You all are amazing people with an excellent work ethic, listening to our thoughts and pouring your ideas and suggestions to construct the best home …your endless hard work and efforts are amazing.
The journey of our home build was never stressful as you guys were easy to communicate with, giving attention to each detail and we felt the part of journey. Although there were some delays with council and material but you managed well.
Thank you is not enough for building our home with beautiful views, we are looking forward to making new memories.

M and R Jensen
We chose to work with Pope Housing and Construction for their personalised, customisable service with a reputation for quality finishing.
Coming into our build, we had a very specific layout and aesthetic in mind. The team paired us with an architect they felt would best suit our project and property and throughout our build, employed only trusted contractors with an equal standard of service.
We loved that we had the same team of familiar faces on-site for the entirety of our build. The boys battled unprecedented weather without complaint and our Foreman in particular went above and beyond to include us in every aspect of planning, scheduling and meetings as needed to ensure our vision came to life as we had dreamed of.
We are delighted with the end result and enjoy comments from visitors on the quality of finish. We felt included every step of the way and would have no hesitation jumping into another project with the Pope Housing and Construction team.

I would just like to thank Erin, Layton, Joe, Dave, Jared, Josh, Jake, Dale, Lee-Anne and all the staff at Pope Housing and Construction for all the work they did during 2022 at our place. The conduct and craftmanship of all involved was fantastic. I would not hesitate to recommend Pope Housing and Construction for any building/renovation work.
Peter Robb and Jillian Taylor
Many thanks to Erin, Layton and the team for their work on our new workshop and office facility for our rural contracting business.
Having previously used Pope Housing and Construction for a residential project, we knew we would get a quality job and we were not disappointed.
We would highly recommend considering Pope Housing and Construction for any building projects you may have.
Brett and Heather
My wife and I started an ambitious build and got overwhelmed with council consents etc. Enter Pope Housing and Construction who took control of the build and expertly guided us through council consents and skillfully and calmly navigated us through what would have otherwise been a stressful situation. Erin in particular was adept at problem solving potential issues on the spot. We look forward to using Pope Housing and Construction again in the future, as the quality of their work was impeccable.
Brendan Squibb
We found Pope Housing and Construction amazing to deal with from start to finish. The scale of our renovation was daunting to start with, Erin and his team took all the worries away from renovating. Erin was always available to contact and he was prompt with any communication relating to the project. The Pope Team were very professional, friendly and trustworthy. When the project was complete our children were sorry to see them team go as they had become part of the family!
Erin and the team made the process stress free (if you can even imagine that!). The finished product is beautiful, we are always getting compliments and there is nothing that we would change. For any future renovation projects we would definitely contact Pope Housing and Construction. We highly recommend them to all our family and friends or anyone who asks.
Ryan and Jaime McMillan
Pope Housing and Construction completed an extensive renovation on our family home We were well informed throughout the process of consent and build. Excellent communication throughout the project and within budget. Great team.
Chris and Cynthia Smith
We cannot recommend Pope Housing and Construction enough to anyone who is building. From initial contact to the final product Elise and Erin were professional and easy to work with. They took our inexperience in their stride and gave us great guidance to ensure we built a home we were proud of that didn't blow our budget. The finished product is outstanding and we have had so many compliments. Communication was prompt and we were included in every stage of the process. Erin was accommodating of our requests and happy to work alongside our chosen tradesmen. We are so glad we chose a local company to build our dream home.
Thanks again.
Kat and Matt Goodrick, Rotorua
It is a pleasure to write this testimonial for Erin and his awesome team at Pope Housing and Construction. This was our first experience of building a new home. We were warned by friends who had previously built that the process could be stressful. This was not the case. Erin made the process easy and enjoyable.
His professional, friendly, approachable manner and prompt communication made the process stress free. Nothing was too much trouble. The team at Pope Housing and Construction take pride in building a quality home. Our home is proof of this. It is gorgeous, and we love it!
We would recommend Pope Housing and Construction to anyone planning to have any building work done. We would definitely engage their services in the future.
Ray and Noreen Wells
We are delighted with the work that Erin Pope and his team did to add to extend and completely renovate our home in Welcome Bay. This was an evolving process, as plans changed, and new challenges emerged, but, throughout it all, Erin was completely on top of what was required and our confidence in his judgement, workmanship and reliability was not misplaced. We are thrilled with the result and have no hesitation in recommending Pope Housing and Construction to anyone who needs a builder.
Alan and Mel Stuart
Erin and his team built our home to a very high standard. They exceeded our expectations in design and quality and implemented our ideas and needs for our home successfully. They communicated with us throughout the processes providing us with ongoing support, were constant professionals who were committed to providing us with a high level of customer service. The support we received during the construction of our home was exceptional and we will not hesitate in recommending Erin and his teams services to others. We are looking forward to many enjoyable years in our newly built, beautiful home.
The Phillips Family
This is just a short note of thanks for your work in extending our house on State Highway 5 near Mamaku. The new, larger garage and bedroom with en-suite above, are perfect and match the existing house flawlessly.
We were really happy with the quality of work by yourself, your site foreman, your team of builders and all the contractors you brought in for the plumbing, roofing, air-conditioning, electrics, tiling, painting, drain laying and tar sealing. We changed some aspects of design and asked for unplanned additions during the build, and all were accommodated without fuss. Even the addition of a fire escape, designed and built by your foreman, Andrew Laidlaw, was handled flawlessly and we are very pleased with it. We really enjoyed having your people on site, they were always happy and friendly, even when the weather was against them.
The extension is exactly what we were hoping for and you and your team were a pleasure to work with. We will definitely be in touch when we need more building work done.
I have attached a picture taken during the work and one after completion.
