What our Ashburton
clients say about us
After an exhaustive search we chose to design and build our home with Rycon Building Group because of the great feeling we had during our first meeting with Ryan. From our first meeting to handover, the whole experience has been nothing short of brilliant. Their professionalism, responsiveness and workmanship is first class. Rycon made sure that our expectations were met and even surpassed.
All of the trades that Rycon employ are very professional, friendly and great at their craft. The site was always kept clean and they were always approachable with any questions that we had.
Building is naturally a stressful process, but Rycon made it as stress free as possible. If we were to build again we would definitely use Rycon Building Group without hesitation.
Peter Crivelli
My wife and I built our first home with Rycon in 2021 and we could not be more pleased with their service. Professional, responsive and first class workmanship. Thank you Rycon.
Christien Corns
Rycon completed our home mid 2020. Right from the initial consultation through to handover the process was smooth and stress free. The team were always friendly, professional and well organised. Any changes or hiccups along the way never seemed to be a problem, Rycon just made it happen. Their attention to detail and level of quality is fantastic.
I would definitely build with them again.
Brett Carr
We have been in our new house for 2 years and it continues to deliver all aspects of family living and what a home should be.

We would definitely use them again
