Matamata Piako - Glen Armstrong Builders REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT Being local makes a huge difference to customers who choose to build with Te Aroha-based company Glen Armstrong Builders. Not only do Glen and wife Gina know the area intimately, Glen is also on the tools on each job, project managing and keeping a close eye on quality control. The Armstrongs also like to support other local businesses and use all local tradespeople, a trusted team that works with the company on every project. “There are a lot of advantages to dealing directly with a local builder and our small overheads and skilled team can make a big impact on the cost of a new home,” says Gina. Glen started building from a young age, learning the trade from some of New Zealand’s top building companies. He now brings nearly two decades of building experience to his clients’ projects and it was in 2015 that he started Glen Armstrong Builders. Since then the company has grown rapidly. It now employs a team of five builders and has multiple projects on the go working in the Waikato and Coromandel regions. It will also undertake projects further afield if required. At present the company has builds underway in Cambridge, Hamilton, Tauranga and Waihi Beach giving an idea of the breadth of locations. Glen Armstrong Builders works on both new homes and renovation projects.
