KiwiBuilt
Wellington Builders & Renovation Experts, Specializing in Heritage Homes

For me, it all started with a genuine passion for working with wood, a passion that faced early hurdles. My initial path led through civil construction, building bridges and water tanks. While not the original dream, this unexpected journey forged invaluable skills, particularly in complex concrete work – a unique advantage that still informs our approach today.

​

The shift to residential renovations ignited a true sense of purpose. Finally, the work became deeply personal, collaborating with homeowners to bring their visions to life. Understanding each client, stepping into their shoes, and ultimately witnessing their joy as their dream home took shape became the driving force. As one client fondly remembers, even a deck built with such personal care became known as "Corey's deck" for years!

​

This dedication to clients extends to every project, big or small. A recent complex new build, likened by the overwhelmed owners to living in a hotel, perfectly illustrates our commitment to overcoming challenges and delivering exceptional results. I understand that building journeys can feel stressful, but our role goes beyond just construction; I'm here to guide you, to shoulder the worries, and to ensure the final outcome makes any temporary hurdles fade into distant memory. Much like the fleeting inconvenience of a kitchen renovation, the joy of the finished space quickly overshadows the difficulties.

​

At the heart of KiwiBuilt are three core values that guide everything we do:

• A Can-Do Attitude & Going the Extra Mile: We approach every project with enthusiasm and a willingness to do what it takes to achieve success for our clients.

• Striving for the Best & Continuous Improvement: We are driven by a desire to be the best in our field, constantly seeking ways to refine our skills and processes.

• Honesty, Trust, & Respect: We believe in transparent communication, building strong relationships based on trust, and treating everyone with respect.

• ​

Looking to the future, we want to expand KiwiBuilt, fostering more skilled teams while championing a positive and supportive work environment for our employees and subcontractors – a true community. We are particularly passionate about preserving the skills necessary to care for Wellington's unique architectural landscape, especially its historic villas. These homes are a vital part of our heritage, and we are committed to training the next generation of tradespeople who possess the knowledge and dedication to maintain their elegance for years to come. My love for teaching and passing on knowledge is central to this mission, nurturing tradespeople who not only build with skill but also with integrity and a deep understanding of their craft.

We're not just building houses; we're building relationships and futures, one exceptional project at a time.
