Keen Builders Ltd is a residential renovation building company servicing the Kapiti Coast & Wellington region we work on all sizes of building projects. Led by myself a qualified Licensed Building Practitioner with over a decade in the renovation trade and experienced builders by my side, we pride ourselves on clear communication, tidy sites, and high-quality workmanship from start to finish.
We regularly carry out kitchen and bathroom renovations, structural alterations, joinery work, re-cladding, decks, and general maintenance. We’re experienced at diagnosing issues such as leaks, rot, and water damage, and we focus on fixing problems properly—not just covering them up.
Clients choose us for our reliability, honest advice, and attention to detail. We provide clear pricing, practical solutions, and take the time to ensure every job is completed to a high standard.
If you want a builder who turns up, communicates well, and takes pride in their work, Keen Builders Ltd is happy to help.

Brae oversaw the overhaul of our two bathrooms, and two toilets. He was superb, juggling the design, all the tradies involved, and doing some of the hard mahi. Now we have the best bathrooms we've ever had, and a stunning ensuite shower. Brae kept communication going when a few timings got tricky. We can't recommend him enough. Kevin, Thorndon. Reply: Thanks so much, Kevin! We’re very grateful for the opportunity to complete your bathrooms and toilets for such amazing clients. We really appreciate your understanding and patience with a few timing delays along the way. What a transformation it’s been, and the finished result looks stunning! It was a pleasure working with you both, and we hope you enjoy your beautiful new bathrooms for years to come.
We were thoroughly impressed with Brae and his team throughout our ensuite renovation. Brae was professional, reliable, and incredibly easy to communicate with from start to finish. The project was completed on time, and we really appreciated his clear and consistent communication, with daily updates on what trades were on site and what work was being completed. The quality of the workmanship was excellent, and the whole process was well organised and stress-free. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Brae and the team at Keen Builders to anyone looking for a reliable, professional, and high-quality builder.

Brae was very responsive and communicated well. He organised sub trades for me and collaborated well with one of my suppliers. All promises made were kept, and price was really good for the work done. He was a pleasure to work with and I wouldn’t hesitate to use him again. Reply: Thank you so much, Rochelle! It was a pleasure working with you. We really appreciate your kind words and are glad we could make the process straightforward from start to finish.

To their credit, they completed the work to an excellent standard and even offered to arrange a painter for us. We were very impressed with their prompt response, professionalism, and willingness to go the extra mile. We would happily recommend KeenBuilders Limited to anyone looking for reliable and high-quality service. Reply: Thank you so much for your kind words, Heather. We really appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review. It was our pleasure to help with your emergency repair, and we’re pleased we could get everything sorted quickly and to a high standard. Going the extra mile for our clients is something we pride ourselves on, so it’s great to hear that reflected in your experience. Thank you again for trusting Keen Builders Ltd, and please don’t hesitate to get in touch if we can help with anything in the future.
I ended up with Brae as my builder purely by chance and was thrilled with him from the outset. He is very prompt and professional in all his communications and I provided him with only the vaguest idea of what I wanted for my bathroom, but he still somehow managed to deliver beyond my expectations. I also had a very short timeframe for getting the work done but he made sure it was completed and tidied up within that time. I have been very impressed by Brae and his subbies and will definitely use him again in future and recommend him to everyone in the meantime. Thanks Brae! Reply: Thank you so much, Jane, for your amazing review. It was an absolute pleasure working with you on your bathroom renovation. We’re thrilled that we could bring your vision to life, even with only a rough idea to start from, and that we were able to complete everything within your timeframe. Your kind words about our communication, workmanship, and the team mean a lot to us. Thank you for trusting Keen Builders Ltd with your project, and we look forward to working with you again in the future. Enjoy your new bathroom! – Brae & the Keen Builders Ltd team
