General Information
The content on this website is provided for general information only. While we make every effort to keep the information accurate and up to date, we make no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, about the completeness, reliability, suitability, or availability of the information, services, or businesses mentioned. Any reliance you place on such information is strictly at your own risk.
In no event shall we be liable for any loss or damage, including without limitation indirect or consequential loss or damage, or any loss whatsoever arising from the use of this website or reliance on the information it contains.
Through this website, you may link to other websites which are not under our control. We have no control over the nature, content, or availability of those sites, and the inclusion of any link does not necessarily imply a recommendation or endorsement.
We make every effort to keep this website running smoothly. However, we accept no responsibility for, and will not be liable for, the website being temporarily unavailable due to technical issues beyond our control.
Statement of Purpose
Deck Builders Christchurch is a lead generation and marketing platform. We are not a construction company, and we do not directly provide, manage, or supervise the services advertised on this website.
All contractors and service providers listed are independent businesses. We do not warrant or guarantee the quality, safety, timeliness, or outcome of any work performed. Any agreements, contracts, or communications entered into are solely between you and the contractor.
We strongly recommend that all clients:
- Obtain multiple quotes;
- Check references and reviews;
- Verify licenses, registrations, and insurance;
- Conduct thorough due diligence before hiring any contractor.
We do not mediate disputes between contractors and clients.
Business Model Transparency
Deck Builders Christchurch is part of a specialist marketing and lead generation network. We build and operate websites that are designed to rank highly on search engines for relevant keywords. These sites exist to connect potential clients with independent contractors and service providers.
Unlike traditional marketing agencies, we take ownership of achieving strong search engine rankings ourselves. This allows contractors to access genuine enquiries without the high upfront costs or ongoing risks of traditional advertising arrangements. Our role is to provide visibility and connections; we are not involved in the provision of contracting services.
When you submit an enquiry through this website, your information is passed directly to a local independent contractor. From that point forward, any relationship, communication, or contract is solely between you and the contractor.
The independent contractors operate under their own business names and identities. They do not act as “Deck Builders Christchurch” or as representatives of this website. Their responsibility is limited to their own work and obligations under New Zealand law.
We are not the agent of any contractor, and we are not party to any contract, agreement, or quote between you and a contractor.
Reviews & Third-Party Content
Our Google Business Profile and other platforms may display reviews submitted by members of the public. These reviews are hosted and managed by third parties, outside our control.
We do not verify the identity of reviewers or the accuracy of their statements.
Reviews reflect the opinions of the reviewers alone and do not necessarily represent the views or experiences of Deck Builders Christchurch or its owners.
The presence of a review, whether positive or negative, does not constitute our endorsement of its contents.
We accept no responsibility or liability for any loss, damage, or harm arising from reliance on reviews posted on Google or other third-party platforms.
We reserve the right to report, challenge, or request removal of reviews that we reasonably believe to be false, misleading, defamatory, or otherwise inappropriate.
Users should exercise their own judgment when considering reviews and make independent enquiries before engaging any contractor.
Reviews displayed on our Google Business Profile may be submitted by members of the public, including individuals who have not directly used our services or the services of contractors we connect enquiries to. Accordingly, reviews may not always reflect the genuine experiences of clients. Reviews may also relate to the operation of this platform rather than to the workmanship of any specific contractor. Users should treat all third-party reviews with caution and carry out their own due diligence before engaging any contractor.
Accreditations & Logos
Logos, badges, or symbols displayed on this site may relate to New Zealand industry bodies (e.g., Master Builders, LBP, Site Safe, NZ Certified Builders, etc.). These are provided for illustrative and informational purposes only.
We do not claim that all businesses listed on this site hold these accreditations. Accreditation status may vary and must be verified directly with the contractor or relevant industry body. Unless expressly stated on an individual contractor profile, we do not represent that any contractor holds membership or accreditation in these organisations.
