We made use of laminated timber, or glulam, beams at our Manly project, and for good reason. They combine strong structural performance with the warmth of natural timber, making them well suited to open-plan spaces and exposed architectural features.

For those interested in the finer details like us, glulam beams are made by bonding multiple layers of timber together, creating a structural element that is strong, lightweight and more stable than solid timber. This allows them to span larger distances with fewer supporting walls or columns, which works particularly well for open-plan spaces and vaulted ceilings.

They can also be left exposed as part of the finished design, bringing warmth and natural character into the home. Manufactured to exact specifications and made from renewable timber, glulam offers a practical balance of structural performance, visual appeal and lower-carbon construction.

Joe has been part of NZ Builders for nearly a year, bringing strong commercial capability to the team as a Quantity Surveyor, as well as great energy to our office!�

With experience in early-stage estimating and preliminary costings, he helps bring clarity to projects from the outset. He has also recently completed his Quantity Surveying diploma, adding to the practical experience he already brings to the role.�

He’s already got a reputation for his willingness to go the extra yard, and has quickly become an important part of our team culture. Great to have you on the team Joe!

It’s the extra 1% that makes the difference.

Jesse takes us through what it actually takes to get from plans to site. A lot of the important work happens before the tools come out, from reviewing drawings and coordinating trades to resolving the small details early. And, as all tradies know, it’s that attention upfront that leads to a smoother build and the best possible outcome for the client.

“For all levels of ambition” is our motto. Sometimes, this means practical builds where we’re trying to help a client make the most of a small site. Other times, it’s a multigenerational beachfront property with bespoke cabinetry, American Oak joinery and custom wall panelling. We love both kinds of projects, but there is something special about seeing this one come to life.

Pene came on board as our first full time QS, and she’s been an absolute game changer for us over the last couple of years.

She has a strong background in both residential and commercial construction, and these skills have been invaluable to the pricing and management of our projects. She also has a great sense of humour, and we’ve loved having her as part of our team and in the office every day.

Getting the right people in the right seats is one of the most important things in business, and we couldn’t have got off to a better start with our QS team with Pene!

We completed this Point Chev project earlier in the year, and it’s easy to see how Harbour View Road got its name. From the outdoor shower to the walkway down through the garden, the harbour is never far from sight for the owners.

One thing we’ve never budged on is our values, and as the business continues to grow, we wanted to take a day to reset and align on the core foundations of NZ Builders.

So, earlier this year, we brought the whole NZ Builders team at Birkenhead United Clubrooms – a club we’re proud to sponsor – and do a full day session with High Performance Coach David Keetly.

The goal was to clearly define the standards, behaviours, and mindset that have shaped NZ Builders from day one. These values influence how we show up on site, how we work with clients, how we communicate as a team, and how we hold ourselves accountable.

The outcome of the day was four simple values:

• Look After It
• Sharp Pencils
• Own The Job
• Sweep The Floor

They're practical, easy to remember, and relevant to every role within the business. And since this session, we’re already seeing the impact on site. We’ve heard clearer expectations, better conversations, and stronger accountability across the team. A big thanks to David Keetly who guided the session and big thanks to our team who are owning these values every day!

The interiors at Verran Road were designed to make a compact duplex feel far more spacious than the footprint might suggest.

Vaulted ceilings, big windows, and a restrained material palette help create a sense of space, and the final result is far beyond what you’d expect of a typical duplex.

Big shoutout to who were the minds behind the design!

Our entry is in for House of the Year!

This was one of those dream projects where our team worked by Big Manly Beach all summer long on an ambitious build. Technically, there were a lot of details that needed our close attention, as you can see by the interior shots, but we're so proud of our crew for the final result. �

Special mention to for the designs, alongside the wider team involved in bringing this one to life.
