Although it might seem like we are the new kids on the block in the Mangawhai house building scene – that couldn’t be further from the truth. Elite Building was established in 2016 and has been flying under the radar for the last 8 years – but we have been anything but quiet!

Elite Building has completed over 45 houses, numerous renovations and 100’s of decks in the last 7 years in the Kaipara region.  We have contracted to a variety of housing companies as well as working directly to the public.  We consider ourselves “New Build” specialists and have perfected, streamlined and honed our systems over the last 8 years.  Backed by a highly experienced team of builders we are able to produce beautiful homes with high quality workmanship, on budget and on time.  Over the years we have come from building simple first homes to now focusing more on high end, high spec architectural homes sometimes spanning many months – years.

We are a husband-and-wife team (Josh & Fiona) and the co-founders and directors of Elite Building.  Josh brings 14 years plus of building experience and project management to Elite Building and Fiona runs behind the scenes as well as jumping on the tools when required.  We built our first home just outside Mangawhai in 2014 and since then have grown our family and company.  We love where we live and thrive on helping other people realise their house building dreams in the Kaipara region.

Our Team

We are a tight knit team of 8 builders and we are very selective about who works for Elite Building.  We have worked hard to build a reputation of being a great company to work for and producing homes with beautiful craftmanship – we work very hard to protect this.  The bulk of our team have been with us for extended periods of time and have come on the journey with Elite Building from the beginning or through those early years.

We are big believers in helping nurture and mentor the future builders of New Zealand.  We have partnered with BCITO to help train, develop and upskill apprentices to get them ready for a career in the building industry in New Zealand. We have trained 8 apprentices through to qualification in the last 7 years. Our crew currently runs 8 qualified builders and 4 apprentices.
