MEET THE TEAM
We are a small but passionate team of builders, led by Oliver, who comes with over 10 years of building and project management experience. Oliver’s passion for fine detail has led him to assemble a team of like minded builders who love to fuse both the practical and creative elements of building, ensuring their work is not only produced to the highest quality but also reflects our clients heart in the project.
Our small, committed and dependable team offer an individualised experience with clear, open and honest communication. We deliver top quality work from only the best builders, tradespeople and subcontractors. We go above and beyond to get the job done and push ourselves to do better every day. We are passionate about what we do and it shows in every piece of work carried out by our people.
Kaine is nearly two years into his building apprenticeship with BCITO and although the youngest member of our team he is killing it on the building site! Years of hands on experience as a qualified fibre optic technician has helped Kaine in getting the hang of building pretty quickly!
Oliver
DIRECTOR
It is evident that building and property are a huge passion for Oliver. He’s put in the hard yards, jumping straight into his building apprenticeship at just 17. Fully qualified at 21 years old, Oliver moved onto running his own sites and teams. He brings 14 years of experience in high end residential building, a like-minded team of builders and the dedication to bring the life and character back to beautiful homes within Auckland.
“Behind every great building company is a team of great builders but when it comes to selecting new builders to join our team, it’s far from an easy process. Not every qualified builder has the same experience and knowledge as the next. The things that I value most when selecting new builders are creativity and ability to think outside the box. Punctuality, strong communication skills and presentation will also go a really long way. Lastly problem solving is a huge part of our every day life and helps to maintain the smooth running of our sites and strong relationships with clients, sub trades and suppliers.”
Kieran
FOREMAN
Kieran built his way up the North Island from his hometown Opotiki and we were lucky enough to find him upon his move to Auckland! More than 10 years in the building trade has given Kieran has a great mixture of experience from high end residential builds to commercial and shop fit outs. Kieran does an awesome job at running our larger jobs with accuracy and precision and when he’s not working you’ll find him watching the rugby with his furry friend, Cruise.
“Working within the building industry means I get to work on something new every day, you’re never stuck doing the same thing as a builder. It’s rewarding being able to completely transform a home whilst bringing a clients visions to life.”
Sam
FOREMAN
Sam brings his sterling work ethic all the way from Wanaka so you can count on him to always keep the ball rolling onsite. Sam has also been in the game for more than 10 years and has done some amazing work during that time - recently he spent a couple years in some of the most remote areas of Australia building aboriginal homes! Although Sam’s quite the catch, we are hoping his son plans on following in his footsteps because he’s already getting a lot of attention over here on Instagram!
“My favourite thing about working within the building industry is being able work hard within a team, seeing the project come to life makes it totally worth it for all of us!”
Connor
FOREMAN
Connor shifted across to building after a stint working within aluminium joinery and a spot of quantity surveying. Across his apprenticeship, he worked on a number of high end renovations, new builds and group house builds, culminating in becoming fully qualified in 2019. Outside of work, he enjoys playing golf as well as continuing to hone his carpentry finesse with woodworking projects.
“One thing I love about building is being able to create a vision for clients from the ground up. ”
Joeli
FOREMAN
A family man through and through, Joeli completed his apprenticeship alongside his father in law and now is working towards becoming a site foreman. With his third bub on the way, he enjoys spending time at home with his family, as well as getting out to the seaside for a spot of spearfishing.
“The most rewarding part about being a builder is having clients trust to renovate or create their biggest asset.”
Jack
APPRENTICE BUILDER
Jack joined our team in early 2023, coming all the way from Birmingham in the UK. While he is new to his apprenticeship, he has grown a lot during his time with us and is always pushing himself to do better. He comes from a background of selling people their dream homes but now finds the most rewarding part of being a builder is being part of the process and being the one to create someone’s dream home rather than just sell it to them. In his spare time he enjoys exploring New Zealand on his motorbike, the occasional round of golf and relaxing after a long week with a cold beer. He is focussed on smashing out his apprenticeship and building a future in NZ.
Isaac
APPRENTICE BUILDER
After finishing school, Isaac moved towards labouring for 4-5 years, giving him a solid base of construction knowledge and experience. From there it was a bit of a no brainer to move into building. He has really enjoyed joining our team and continuing his apprenticeship alongside like minded, and experienced builders. He is driven and eager to work, with dreams of one day being able to build his own home.
“My favourite part about being in the building industry is that no day is the same. You’re always learning new skills.”
