At Zen Builders, our team helps busy people bring their building dreams to reality by managing their projects and constructing them. This means that our clients spend less time worrying and more time doing the things they enjoy, leaving project management and building up to us.

We specialise in turning houses into homes. Whether its a small alteration or a full renovation - we can help.

Build with us and you’ll be working with more than just your average builder. You’ll be working with an NZCB approved builder. New Zealand Certified Builders is the only builder association in New Zealand with strict entry criteria where the minimum entry requirement for all members is a recognised industry trade qualification. Our builders have a history of stability and success and a solid reputation for realising homeowners’ aspirations.

We also have our own "10 Point Building Excellence Guarantee". This gives our clients piece of mind, knowing that we 100% back our workmanship and the our sub-contractors work.

Zen builders were fantastic to deal with. What I really respect is they listened and took any suggestions or input I had seriously. I would use Zen Builders again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to others.
