Builders in South Auckland
South Auckland is where the region's growth is loudest. Drury is Auckland's largest greenfield front, Takanini keeps filling in, and behind that sits a deep stock of 1960s to 1990s family homes now due for their second serious renovation.

01The work here
What we build
in South Auckland
Two very different jobs sit side by side here. New builds on freshly titled sections, and reconfiguring solid but dated houses: opening up the back, adding a bedroom, replacing a kitchen and bathroom that have done thirty years.
