Builders of stunning, architecturally designed homes, creators of seamless additions and alterations and deliverer of award-winning commercial projects.

"We were very fortunate to have Steve Ross, foreman Tyler and his team take on the challenging build of our new bach in the remote Aotea Harbour.

"SJR Builders came highly recommended and it was soon apparent why. Steve was friendly and professional to work with and he and his staff were clearly committed to delivering a high quality build. Our architect, Geoff from Paua Architects was overseeing the build but Anna and I worked closely with both Geoff and Steve throughout the project to jointly discuss construction details and fine tuning some of the finish options.

"While not a large house, the project involved bespoke interior timber detailing and exterior features. At a remote site and often in very challenging weather conditions, the team from SJR Builders never compromised on their attention to detail and quality of the finish. This was recognised with the project being selected as a regional finalist in the Master Builders House of the Year awards in 2018.

"After an almost 14 month build schedule you might expect that Steve and his team wouldn’t want to tackle the winding road over to Aotea ever again. But when the railway sleepers used in the driveway and entrance landscaping started to exude tar Steve and the team were straight back to site to remove and replace with an alternative timber and concrete finish.

"From start to finish SJR Builders were a pleasure to work with and we would have no hesitation using them again or recommending Steve and his team to anyone else."
