Our Testimonials

  • Thrilled with the result
    "The team at Versatile Whanganui have been stellar, showing flexibility and resilience through the challenges of Covid restrictions, lockdowns, and supply shortages. From initial sales consult, through to key hand over, communication was clear, pain points were worked though, and any issues that arose were immediately seen to. Having a dedicated project manager as a point of contact throughout made my wife and I feel as though we were in good hands. Both he (Nick) and the contracts manager (Anna) were prompt with replies and patient with our (many) requests and changes. We're thrilled with the result and our AirBnb guests have also given flawless feedback on the quality of the finished product. We want to say thanks again to Warren, Nick, Anna, Mat and the whole Versatile Whanganui team. Cheers!" James, Elle, and kids.
