| 105 T T Bernadette Cooney Project defines firm’s craftsmanship The renovation, which completely reimagined the home while preserving its historical charm, saw an entire basement built beneath the original structure. Keith Hunter Builders BUILDING Following their celebrated historical refurbishment in Remuera in 2023 – a $5.5 million transformation of a 1920s landmark home – Keith Hunter Builders has continued to shape Auckland’s residential landscape with the same integrity and craftsmanship that defined that standout project. The renovation, which completely reimagined the home while preserving its historical charm, saw an entire basement built beneath the original structure and remains a signature example of Keith Hunter Builders’ meticulous attention to detail. Operating primarily across East and Central Auckland, including Remuera, St Heliers and Orākei, Keith Hunter Builders are nearing completion on a Tamaki Drive renovation and has two new multi-million-dollar builds in Remuera set to break ground in coming months. Both sit in the $2+million range and will showcase the company’s full design-and-build capability in partnership with some of Auckland’s most trusted architects. “These two significant projects follow on from a quieter year primarily filled with renovations and the occasional new build,” says Keith. “It’s been tough out there for some build companies, but we’ve been lucky. We’ve built a strong niche with repeat clients and long-term relationships, and that’s what has carried us through.” With more than 30 years in building Keith Hunter has refined a process built on strong partnership, communication and client care. Clients are kept involved with regular site meetings, progress photos, and up-to-date cost tracking. “Each project team are dedicated to quality and accountability,” says Keith. “These are family forever homes where clients have poured a lot into them, so it’s our job to fulfil their dream so they can live the happily ever after. That’s what we focus on.” “I started building at 15 and I’m 66 now. We’ve built a nice little family-owned business which averages between 10 to 15 builders and apprentices making up three or four crews across multiple projects.” Among the company’s portfolio highlights of late are Compass Point Outdoor Living project, a sleek marina-facing upgrade and deck extension to include a full outdoor kitchen and entertaining area. Motorised louvre roofs supported by plaster columns allow for easy opening and closing in any climate. A contemporary townhouse new build which optimises a small section in Orākei brings a modern industrial vibe to the timber and metal clad two box-two level home, while its layout ensures efficient indoor-outdoor flow. A 1990’s townhouse also in Orākei, was transformed with an extension and full re-clad from Keith Hunter Builders. Modernising the family home and adding three decks with frameless glass balustrades plus renovations to kitchen and bathrooms. An Eastern Bays beachside home received a transformative refresh also, replacing the roof and remodelling the interior and upstairs living to include an upper-level cocktail bar. Refreshed flooring, underfloor heating and new tiling added finishing touches to the extensive renovation.
