Our Story
Our Story
Build Firm was established in 2018 by Sam Henderson . Sam is a qualified builder who grew up on the Northshore in Birkenhead. He cut his teeth on building sites across Auckland, with a special focus on new homes and home renovations.
After gaining the necessary expertise and experience, he decided to set up a building company exclusively dedicated to providing Kiwis with high-quality homes and renovations.
And that’s what our company has been doing ever since. Build Firm exists to make your dream home a reality.
Our Process
- After you contact us, we’ll start by arranging a phone call or in-person meeting where we can discuss your project in detail.
- After that, we’ll come up with a free, no-obligation estimate of the timeline and costs involved and send it to you. The best time to contact us is during the conceptual design phase, so we can collaborate with the architect early on and keep your costs down.
- Once you’ve given us the go-ahead, we can set up clear communication lines between everyone involved in the project.
- Your conceptual design plans and working drawings will be completed, led by the architect but often with our expert input.
- At this point you’ll need to apply to the local council for resource consent.
- At last, the build itself will begin! This is where we come into our own. Before we do any work on site, we’ll give you a clear, updated estimate or quote of the costs and time involved.
- When the build is complete, we’ll put the finishing touches on your new home or renovation. This step is where you get the chance to point out anything that could be improved, or any new components you’d like to see. It’s our favourite part because it’s when our clients start to get excited!
- Last but not least, we’ll make sure all your paperwork is in order. We’ll deliver warranties and certificates for all our building work, and you’ll have everything you need to apply for the Code of Compliance.
