About
SGB Construction are trusted builders operating in Wellington, Lower Hutt and Christchurch.
We are Licensed Building Practitioners specialising in residential renovations and new builds.
The company SGB Construction was set up in 2017 by Sam Guerin, Prior to operating SGB Construction Sam was operating as a GST Registered sole trader carpenter since 2014.
Our team currently consists of 15 crew, 8 Qualified Builders, 1 Qualified Roofer and 4 Carpentry Apprentices and 2 Labourers.
SGB have a diverse range of skill sets amongst our crew, we have experienced and talented finishing carpenters, experienced concrete placers and even a qualified roofer. We have a full time Quantity Surveyor and Project Managers that deals with our payment claims and programs. We pride ourselves on delivering projects on time, within budget and to a high-quality finish. Honesty, integrity and quality craftsmanship are core SGB values and an integral part of all projects SGB undertake.
Our main expertise and experience is with extensive renovation and extension projects – often on character homes. We also carry out several light civil and commercial projects. There are often many risks and challenges associated with this work. More often than not we are tying in or working around an existing structure. The structure we work around generally needs temporary support and weather tightening. There are also often challenges around ensuring alignments work out with new and old structures, especially when existing buildings are often not plumb, level or square! While ensuring our new building work complies and is carried out to a high standard we must also endeavour to carry out finishing work using styles and materials sympathetic to the homes era.
We really enjoy the problem solving required on these projects and strive to constantly expand our knowledge of alternative products and efficient methods of construction.
At SGB we maintain great communication with the architect and the homeowner throughout each project. We engage and coordinate a team of highly skilled and qualified sub-trades to ensure the seamless transition between trades over the duration of a project.
In the construction industry there can be a huge amount of wastage, harmful materials and building bi-products. We strive to consciously reduce our effect on the environment by using recycled, sustainable and renewable materials wherever possible. Where possible we try to steer design toward more sustainable materials. We aim to avoid using products with unnecessary extra packaging and aim to minimize our waste taken off site.
Health and Safety is of utmost importance to us. We always ensure relevant Health and Safety plans are in place, tailored to each site and stage of work. We appreciate the safety of the public and anyone working in or around our sites is imperative and make it our duty to eliminate or minimise any risks associated with our work. We have regular toolbox meetings and safety audits. Our team are regularly undergoing extra training to be able to identify risks and hazards associated with our work.

SGB construction recently completed a wonderful renovation on our (now) beautiful villa. Sam guided us through the whole process. My wife and I were kept well informed of any potential challenges or issues, as you would expect of such an old property. Jono as a site foreman had a great eye for detail, he and the SGB team took such care and effort to bring our home back to life. All aspects of the construction process were completed to a high standard, and finishing work second to none. We really felt that a lot of care was taken throughout the job. We would strongly recommend SGB Construction to anyone wanting top quality work done to their home. Six stars if we could!

We’ve worked alongside SGB on a number of projects and they’re great to deal with. They are always well organised, communication is clear, and the quality on site is consistently high. It makes our work a lot easier when a building company runs projects efficiently and keeps things moving smoothly. Always a pleasure working together!

We're a plumbing crew that works with SGB Construction, and just wanted to give them a shout‑out. Their team is awesome to deal with — organised, easy to communicate with, and they keep things running smoothly behind the scenes, which makes our job a whole lot easier. On site, the guys are professional, respectful, and just good people to work alongside. It’s always a bonus when you’re working with a construction team that actually makes the day flow better instead of harder. Cheers to the SGB team — always a pleasure working with you!

Sam and his team built our retaining wall and fence. They did a perfect job, we love the outcome. Throughout the whole process we had great communication. All the work was completed within the agreed timeframe and to budget. SGB also were adaptable as our requirements changed and handled that so well. Thanks SGB! I would definitely use them again. Reply: Thanks for the great review Mark! A fun project and great outcome. Cheers, Sam
