Laurenson Building T T Bernadette Cooney BUILDING Laurenson Building Co. Ltd, is a construction firm based in Titirangi, Auckland, offering unparalleled benefits for those seeking remarkable architectural new homes, renovations and commercial builds. Established in 2011 by Josh and Emma Laurenson, this family-owned company has flourished into a skilled team of 20 builders and apprentices, dedicated to delivering excellence across a diverse range of projects in Westmere, Point Chevalier, Herne Bay, and throughout the city. With over two decades experience in the industry, Josh, a Licensed Building Practitioner, is known for his expertise in crafting bespoke architectural marvels. From multi-million-dollar new homes to contemporary commercial spaces. “Our most recent projects in the commercial space include a Medical Centre at 333 Remuera Road, The Metro Countdown in Herne Bay and the Steelfort-Miele show room in Penrose to mention a few, ahead of many other successful commercial projects through Auckland.”” Josh’s journey into construction was first sparked by a love for surf lifesaving while at high school. “My coach at the time had his own concreting company and he was kind enough to give me a job throughout school holidays to save for competitions,” says Josh, “that’s how I was exposed to the trades at a young age and progressed in to building, became a trade qualified carpenter and never looked back.” In its 13 years of operation, Laurenson Building Co. has been involved in over 50 successful projects Auckland wide and have found their niche in architectural homes, extensions and renovations. Taking particular pride in being able to do a complete job from foundations to finishing lines. Their ongoing projects, such as the architectural new build at Oliver Street, Point Chevalier and the extensive remodel of a 1930s bungalow in Westmere, demonstrate their ability to tackle diverse challenges with finesse. “The Point Chev project is a design from CAAHT Studio Architects,” says Josh, “a three storey, 240 sq. metre build on a 400 sq. metre section with subterranean basement. We have the first level complete and expect to finish about October.” A large-scale remodel and modernisation of a 1930’s bungalow in Westmere is another current project, designed by Bureaux Architects, also looking to finish later this year. Most notably, a current masterpiece renovation at Marine Parade in Herne Bay from Fearon Hay Architects, exemplifies their skill in blending old-world charm with modern sophistication. The result is a breathtaking waterfront property that marries tradition with luxury. “This is an extensive interior remodel and renovation of a multimillion-dollar waterfront property overlooking the harbour,” says Josh, “the original home was first built in 1893.” Today, it’s an extensively modernised concrete villa across two levels complete with swimming pool and tennis court pavilions. With over 650 sq. metres of living, spread over multiple floors, this renovation is an internal strip out and rebuild, started in 2022 and due for completion this year. From leather-wrapped staircase handrails to Italian chandeliers and marble benchtops, every detail is meticulously curated to ensure a wow factor finish. Laurenson Building Co. prides itself on high-quality craftsmanship, transparent communication, and unwavering integrity, making them the ideal choice for your next construction project.
