Business owners Gareth Davis and partner Lauren share a drive to give their absolute best on every project, whether a new build or a home renovation. With almost 20 years on the tools as a builder, Gareth’s experience spans New Zealand, Australia and UK markets and a wide variety of builds including large architectural homes to significant renovations. Lauren brings her background in event and account management to the role of office manager, along with key strengths in customer relations. “We both enjoy dealing one on one with our clients,” says Gareth. “They know they are dealing with the business owners, and that we will look after their project from the get-go through to the end.” As Lauren observes, their projects run smoothly because clients know they can always get in touch with her or Gareth directly. The couple set high standards for themselves, and Lauren says that’s exactly what they strive for on every project too, taking care to ensure the whole design and build journey runs smoothly and to budget. Home renovations are the company’s forte and demand in this area has noticeably increased since Covid. Many people are choosing to invest in making their existing homes more functional rather than selling and buying. Kitchen and bathroom projects are popular. Gareth Davis Builders has also seen an increase in demand for extensions that can add space for growing families or accommodate working from home arrangements. “Larger renovations can transform a home. For example, one of our current projects at Waikuku involves taking a bach to its bare bones and completely rebuilding it with a big extension out the back that will double the home’s size. “We enjoy renovation because it requires a high level of problem solving and it means the team are always learning and increasing their skills. At the same time, you build strong relationships with clients – you almost become part of the family.” This dynamic company has grown significantly over the past 18 months, with Gareth and Lauren having recently hired their sixth Home renovations are the company’s forte and demand in this area has noticeably increased. carpenter. Their workplace culture is one that fosters excellence as well as a “family first” approach. “We have a young family ourselves and are very aware of what comes with this,” says Lauren. “We want to make sure our team feel supported to do what they need to ensure they and their families are leading happy and healthy lives.” Having launched Gareth Davis Builders in 2012, Gareth has a great depth of local knowledge and of how local councils operate. He and Lauren have also developed a strong, reliable network of local subcontractors and suppliers that know how they work and contribute to the delivery of consistent high quality results. Speaking volumes for the strength of their client relationships and quality of workmanship, Gareth Davis Builders enjoy a number of repeat clients. For example, the owners of a Waikuku home who had a big extension project done by Gareth Davis Builders a few years ago have recently had their third home completed by Gareth and the team. “As a business owner, I’ve come to value repeat business as the ultimate reward for our dedication to delivering exceptional service and workmanship,” Gareth says. “It represents more than just a transaction, but the enduring trust and loyalty of our valued customers, which fuels our drive to keep delivering exceptional results.”
