What our Clients Say
“The regular comment I receive from our team when having CDM working on-site is how their business is uninterrupted by having workman around the premises and how clean the site remains on a daily basis.”
For 20 years, Barfoot & Thompson have contracted CDM to look after the refurbishment and design of our branch network within Auckland. From just simple refurbishing, like interior wall painting and new carpet laying to full office design and build, their workmanship is unbeatable.
The ease of working with CDM has been created by excellent communication and detailed correspondence so everyone knows where the project is at. Regular on-site meetings involve all parties and cover all matters from schedule timing, to new additional items requested by our team, through to issues discovered during the refurbishing or building stage.

“From practice design, resource consent, medical/dental fit-out, to specific design relating to plumbing, waste and electrical, CDM have all the right knowledge and skills for the job.”
As a dental professional, I don’t recommend people doing DIY dentistry on their teeth. Being a novice for building and renovating, why not let the professionals build and manage the project for you. From practice design, resource consent, medical/dental fit-out, to specific design relating to plumbing, waste and electrical, CDM have all the right knowledge and skills for the job. The most satisfying aspect is the fit-out finished on time and on budget.
