88 | Tony Quirk Building and Construction BUILDING Proudly supporting Wanaka Builders www.wanakapainters.co.nz | tony@wanakapainters.co.nz T T Alexia Anderson Local knowledge invaluable Tony Quirk Building and Construction are specialists in architecturally designed homes, including complex projects that demand innovative techniques and skilled workmanship. “The harsh seasonal climate can play a big part with the longevity of components on the homes.” For more than 35 years, Tony Quirk Building and Construction Ltd has been crafting high-quality architectural homes throughout Upper Clutha, earning itself a well-respected reputation. That reputation means the team is well known for delivering exceptional workmanship while building long-lasting relationships with their clients. The locally owned company, founded by Tony Quirk in 1989, is committed to quality craftsmanship, thoughtful planning and attention to detail from concept through to completion. Tony says building in Wanaka has presented some unique challenges, making local knowledge and experience invaluable when moving ahead with each project. “The harsh seasonal climate can play a big part with the longevity of components on the homes,” he says. ‘We have been involved with high-end buildings here for a long time and have seen firsthand what does and doesn’t work in the very hot, dry and cold associated with our seasons, [and] communicating this to architects and clients is always a priority if we see something that may cause an issue in the future.” That experience has helped Tony Quirk Building and Construction Ltd become specialists in architecturally designed homes, including complex projects that demand innovative techniques and skilled workmanship. Residential design has also evolved significantly over recent years, with homeowners increasingly seeking expansive glazing to make the most of Central Otago’s landscape. “With the development of new window systems there has been a big push to have a lot more glass and views throughout the homes,” Tony says. “We have been fortunate to work with most of these systems, both domestic and overseas, and seen some truly exceptional creations come to life.” However, delivering homes of high calibre requires more than technical expertise. Tony believes communication is one of the most important elements of a successful project. “Good communication is the cornerstone to getting a quality project completed. The architectural projects always have a lot of challenges and changes. You have to be ahead of the play to make sure things are decided on, supplied and constructed on time.” That collaborative approach extends throughout the building process, with the team working closely alongside clients, architects and trusted sub-contractors to ensure every detail meets expectations. “It is of the utmost importance,” Tony says of craftsmanship. “We strive to always deliver a beautifully finished home for our clients and their families to enjoy.” That commitment to quality is also reflected within the business itself. In 2018, two of Tony’s long-serving site foremen, Mark Bankshaw and Joel Tamblyn, became shareholders and directors of the company, reinforcing the experienced leadership behind the company’s continued success. Supported by a long-standing team of skilled builders and sub-contractors, Tony Quirk Building and Construction Ltd continues to focus on quality rather than quantity. “We aim to continue providing the level of quality to our builds that we have become known for,” he says. “To us it’s not about getting every contract going in the town but keeping the quality in every contract we complete in the town.” That philosophy, combined with decades of local experience and a commitment to personalised service, continues to see Tony Quirk Building and Construction Ltd deliver homes designed to stand the test of time. Rather than chasing volume, the company remains committed to maintaining the high standards that have shaped the business since 1989.
