Husband-and-wife outfit out of 187 Baker Road, Cambridge. Eight years on the tools across the Waikato. Tōtika certified. Aaron quotes every job himself.
Crew on a recent build
Waikato Post and Rail Limited started in 2017 when Aaron Collins put a yard together at 187 Baker Road on the edge of Cambridge. Lauren came on as the second owner-operator early on. Eight years later that yard is still where every job is sized up and every length of timber is measured.
Aaron is the named contact on every quote and the bloke on site, not a project manager you never meet. He picked up the trade in the Waikato and has built across Cambridge, Hautapu, Te Awamutu, Hamilton, Tamahere, Karapiro and the lifestyle estates between them. The crew know each other and the gear, which is why a 22-section subdivision can run alongside a single-paddock job without either one slipping.
Lauren runs the back end. Quotes that come in by phone, scheduling, invoicing, and the side of the business most clients never see. The two of them together is the reason we can take a build from a sketch on a Sunday to a fence on a Friday two weeks later.
The thing most fencing quotes get wrong is making one number stand for ten different decisions. We split the conversation properly so you know what you are buying.
You ring 027 488 7751 or send a message. Aaron books a time to come and walk the boundary. There is no charge to look at a job in the Cambridge or Te Awamutu area.
→On site we look at the line, talk about what finish suits the property, and what the budget can carry. Most jobs go through two or three options before we land on the right one.
→Written quote, broken out by section so you can see where the money goes. Materials, labour, any concrete or retaining alongside it. Fixed price for the spec, not a moving target.
→Slotted into the schedule with a start window. Same crew on every job, same standard. You will know who is on site and who to ring if a question comes up.
→Final walk before we move on. Anything not right gets put right before the invoice goes out. We back the work because we have to be in Cambridge tomorrow.
→A boundary line on a section plan, a photo with the line marked, or a chat. Whatever is easiest for you.
