Based in Geraldine, RN Building Ltd celebrated 10 years in business last year having been established by Ryan Neutze in 2015. They offer a range of services including architectural new builds, renovations, farm buildings, landscape buildings and decks, working with clients from concept to completion. In the last few years projects have included an increasing number of light commercial jobs and RN Building has cemented its relationship with a number of education providers in the South Canterbury Region. Ryan works with a team of eight builders, one project estimator and one administrator with Ryan himself project managing and working closely with clients and his on-site foremen alike. “The key thing about our company is that you’re always working with me from day one. We’ve always believed in keeping communication clear and personal. “When you first come to us with an idea for your building project, you’re working directly with me. I’m there from the initial conversation right through the project, making sure I understand what you want to achieve and that your ideas and needs are carried through every step of the process,” he says. RN Building has 65 different house plans available, as well as 10 different plans for the increasingly popular granny flats which can measure up to 70sqm. The plans, plus examples of products they use such as cladding and bathroom fittings, are on display in the RN Building showroom and office in Geraldine. Having the plans to refer to and giving clients the chance to see and feel what they’re talking about makes a big difference to their early discussions with Ryan about what they’re wanting to build. Some people choose a plan that suits them perfectly but the majority use them as inspiration before working with Ryan, sketching ideas, and getting a very rough idea of pricing. The architect Ryan invariably works with develops that into pricing plans detailed enough to allow Ryan to give a quote for a fixed price build and are ready to go in for consent. RN Building is a member of Certified Builders which means their builds are covered by the Halo 10 year guarantee giving the home owner cover during the build and for a reassuring 10 years from the day the house is completed. RN Building’s higher-spec residential builds are now interspersed with light commercial projects such as the fit-out for Bonnie Day Brewery they did last year and ongoing renovation and maintenance work for Woodbury and Waihi Schools. They’re currently building the new centre for the Geraldine District Free Kindergarten Association. Over the road from the original kindergarten, that has served the community’s under 5s for 75 years, the new bespoke premises is designed for toddlers up to 3 years old. With capacity for 27 children it’s being purpose built for the physical milestones of babies and toddlers with age appropriate safety zones and nurturing environments. The 147sqm building being brought to life by RN Building will house a child-friendly environment in its well-proportioned and sizeable interior. “The vertical oblique cladding and vertical five-rib ColorSteel iron is modern looking and durable and the very steep roof-pitch supports the impression of a big, spacious building. There’s been a lot of sponsorship, grants and donations from the community to “The key thing about our company is that you’re always working with me from day one. We’ve always believed in keeping communication clear and personal.” fund the project and it’s creating quite a buzz in the town,” says Ryan. Geraldine District Free Kindergarten Association’s new centre is expected to be open for business mid-2027 providing 5 new teaching positions and a seamless transition for local families as their children grow and learn in preparation for school.
