Hi, I'm Leon.

I'm a qualified builder, based in Dunedin. And just like the big building companies, I'm licensed and get the job done - on time and to budget. I have a keen eye for detail, I'm a big fan of straight walls and work finished well.

But that's enough about me. How can I help you?


What I Can Do For You.

BUILD YOUR NEW HOUSE

I love new builds! It's exciting to play a part of bringing a concept to life. I've worked with great architects over the years and built some amazing high-end houses. My goal with every house is to build it right and finish it perfectly. I'm definitely not your man for  ''wack 'em up, she'll be right" type jobs. 

 

RECOMMEND TRADIES

I only work with people like myself - reliable, fairly-priced and 100% focused on quality. I don't recommend tradies lightly so count on me for an honest endorsement.

 

RENOVATE AND CREATE

Dunedin is the place for do-ups as houses are actually affordable. Buying a cheaper, older house doesn't mean you can't enjoy the comforts of modern living. With some careful planning and design inspiration, I can help your property reach its potential, increase its value and create the space you want. Kitchens, bathrooms or the whole house, I can do it.

 

KEEP A SAFE WORKSITE

A safe workplace is imperative and I don't take shortcuts. I keep Worksafe's Absolutely Essential Health and Safety guide on me at all times, it's great. And my first aid certificate is up to date.

DECKS AND FENCES

I've built a few bloody decks in my time, and I've barbecued on many more. A deck can add so much value to your home, not just in a financial sense, but improving the way you live. I've got lots of ideas to build your dream outdoor space.

 

COVID-19 pOLICY

I am operate with a robust Covid-19 Site Specific Safety Plan (SPPP) in place. The health and wellbeing of my staff, clients, subcontractors and suppliers are my number one priority. We’re all in this together.

 

I Promise To...

TREAT YOUR PROJECT LIKE IT'S MY OWN

Like you, I'm a home owner. I've built my own house and I've renovated my own house. So I get it. I understand first-hand the importance of an honest quote, efficient time management, and a finished product to be proud of. 
 

 COMMUNICATE LIKE MY LIFE DEPENDS ON IT

Just like my wife, when you call, I answer (unless I'm up a ladder or driving). When you email, expect a response within 24 hours. We will catch up regularly throughout the project so you are 100% across progress and budget.  
 

BE RELIABLE

How many times do you hear people complaining that the plumber hasn't shown up or so-and-so hasn't called when they said they would. I'm not like that. In fact, hearing stories like this annoys me because it gives us tradies a bad rep. I'm reliable, always have been and always will be.


Happy Clients.

Disclaimer: These lovely clients were not paid to say these things (in cash, beer or otherwise). They are genuinely happy clients and are happy to give you a first-hand account of my work. Let me know if you'd like their details for a quick chat with them directly.

 
We can’t recommend Leon more highly to anyone looking for a reliable, creative and hard-working builder. Nothing was too much trouble, and he pays attention to the smallest details that make such a difference to the overall result.
— ALAN & CHRIS HAIG
Leon has been great, installing our new kitchen and building a deck. He offered us heaps of good advice based on his years of experience. He’s a really hard worker and we’d recommend Leon to everyone!
— JOHNNY & SHANNON SMITH
I’ve known Leon for years and when I needed someone to convert an old villa into high-end apartments, I knew Leon was the man for the job because he has a reputation for high-quality finishing work. Not only did he modernise a very old house, but he carefully restored the classic features and recycled what he could so the apartments are full of character.
— NICK JAMES
 

Let's Meet.

It's important that you have the right builder for your job. Let's have a coffee and talk about your project (my shout, of course) and you'll walk away with a gut feeling if I'm your man or not. 

Once you've had some time to think, you can request an estimate. I won't hound you with follow up calls, the ball is entirely in your court. 

Get in touch via the below form, phone or email and I'll get back to you within a day or two - because I always keep a promise!
