Higgison Quality Builders BUILDING Higgison Quality Builders of Palmerston North is a trusted design-and-build company catering to both urban and rural needs – residential or commercial. Projects include new homes, renovation and remodelling, rural building, roofing, decking and fencing. Founded in 2019 and led by Reuben Higgison, a licensed building practitioner with over a decade of experience, the company has quickly made its mark in the local construction industry. Reuben’s journey into construction started straight out of high school. Now, at 29, he brings over 10 years of experience to every project, ensuring that each job is completed with precision and care. Higgison Quality Builders is a five-person build team undertaking a diverse range of projects across the Manawatu and Horowhenua. “We can design and build new homes, apartments and townhouses for urban environments and we can construct pole sheds for rural environments or commercial sheds for industry,” says Reuben. “We can provide our own in-house designs for development packages, and we also offer roofing and re-roofing services, meaning you don’t deal with multiple contractors. “Our commitment is to client satisfaction. We emphasise transparency, accountability and communication, keeping clients informed every step of the way,” says Reuben. A notable project completed of late is the extensive renovation of an 80-year-old bungalow in Halcombe, Manawatu. This project is testament to Higgison Quality Builders’ ability to blend modern design with traditional elements, while staying within the client’s budget. The renovation involved modernising the interior, replacing the old rimu floorboards with design-engineered rimu flooring, and installing new aluminium double-glazed windows. The renovation also included upgrading the kitchen and bathroom and adding a deck and porch, all while the homeowners continued to reside in the house. “Seeing our clients’ faces when they saw the build progress each day, was priceless,” says Reuben, “and is why we do what we do.” Higgison Quality Builders also recently completed foundation slabs for a 400sqm heavy diesel shed being built for Fulton Hogan as part of their new asphalt plant project in Richardson Lane, Palmerston North. Additionally, they undertook a three-month project to earthquake-strengthen the Empire Tavern in Feilding last year. “We had to prop up existing walls and remove heavy, concrete-filled brick walls to release the amount of weight on the slab and building,” Reuben explains. Higgison Quality Builders has also been doing the piling and decking for homes sold by transportable home manufacturer, House Me, across the Manawatu. Reuben and his build team are also contract builders for Sentinel Homes Manawatu, a company owned by Reuben’s father Nigel Higgison. “It’s about 50/50 between building our own new-home designs and working for Sentinel,” says Reuben. Committed to turning clients’ vision for a dream home into reality, Higgison Quality Builders has an impressive portfolio of diverse works. Looking to the future, Reuben is partnering in a group venture to bring a new framing-system factory to the Manawatu region, supplying building systems that make for thermally efficient homes and faster builds with less build waste.
