About
Thanks for stopping by.
While originally from Wales, after spending 10 years in the UK Construction Industry, Gareth has been living in New Zealand for the past 7 years while being sponsored as a Landscape Construction Foreman for a high-end residential landscape construction company in Auckland. In this role he has had the pleasure of working with some of New Zealand's best Architects on some high-value and award-winning projects.
His experience is vast and carries weight across multiple trades from Groundwork and Heavy Machinery, Drainage, Concrete prep-work and Concreting, along with all aspects of Carpentry, Masonry and Project Management.
After 6 years in the role of Landscape Construction Foreman, he is currently a mature student (35) studying his Bachelor of Construction at Massey University, specialising in Quantity Surveying.
Gareth:-
"I have recently decided to finish my role as Construction Foreman after 6 years, to study a Bachelors of Construction. Therefore, I have made the leap to go out on my own while supporting myself around studies, offering a variety of services related to Construction Landscaping, Excavations and General Building and Household / Garden Maintenance."
"I find the best way to deliver a satisfying project for both parties is to charge my time out at an hourly rate, while providing my client with recommendations for materials and/or any hire equipment needed (if necessary) and a material list, which we can source together (if necessary) and purchase at trade price without the added margins that are usually charged. This maintains an honest and transparent working relationship, where the client knows exactly where their money is spent, and I get payed for my time."
"I'm an honest and transparent person and if you would like to work with me, please email any relevant information about your project and any photos of the area in question. I will get back to you as soon as possible."
Gareth.
