Amuri Builders BUILDING For more than 20 years, Amuri Building Specialists has been setting the standard for architectural building in Hanmer Springs and the wider Amuri district. Led by experienced builder Dan McGuire, the company has established a reputation for crafting high-end homes, commercial builds and renovations that reflect both their clients’ vision and the region’s unique alpine environment, which surrounds each project. With more than 35 years of building experience across New Zealand and Australia, Dan brings a wealth of knowledge to every project. A pivotal moment came for Dan and his career after he completed an iconic commercial build. “After finishing Village Lake Apartments, my wife and I looked at each other and said ‘what are we doing’, so we decided to stay because we had fallen for Hanmer Springs and what it had to offer,” he says. Today, Amuri Builders is known for “building with excellence” – a philosophy that extends through every project. Whether it is a full architectural build, or a carefully executed renovation, Dan and his team take pride in creating lasting homes that meet the highest standards of craftsmanship. At the heart of the business is a close-knit team of experts, who share more than 80 years of combined experience. Their wealth of knowledge and passion for the trade ensures that even the most complex builds are handled with confidence and care. “The challenge of concept to completion is always very satisfying, not only for us but also our clients,” Dan says. Client relationships are a key focus at Amuri Builders, an organisation committed to making the building process as seamless and stress-free as possible. “Communication is paramount at all times to make sure all parts are on the same page and [there are] no grey areas.” Tools such as Zoom meetings and photo libraries help clients, especially those living out of town, by allowing them to stay as informed as possible throughout the build. Material choices often reflect the surrounding landscape, with Dan noting that they use a lot of natural hardwood timber imported from Australia, as well as locally sourced timber. There is also growing demand for energy-efficient designs, including the use of Sola Paper, which offers thicker frame walls, ultimately providing more insulation. The team is also in demand for its renovation work, with a recently completed project involving a complete re-clad and the addition of a new bedroom, bathroom, and laundry. Amuri Builders has been a Registered Master Builder since 2014, ensuring transparency, quality, and trust, all backed by industry support and contract guidance.
