|   About Duncan Building Services  | 

Duncan Building Services can trace its roots back to the 70’s when Brian Duncan completed his Building Apprenticeship under a local and well respected builder in on the Hibiscus Coast.

Taking the opportunity to live in California, and work in construction for 10 years he then returned home to continue working locally which meant a great deal to his family.

Working under the name Duncan Builders since 1989, in 2013 it became apparent the business was expanding, so Duncan Building Services Ltd was incorporated to assume the operations of the business.

Duncan Building Services Ltd is a member of the Certified Builders Association of New Zealand.

As only qualified builders with a proven work history can become members, this means you can trust every aspect of our professional approach to your project. Safe in the knowledge you’re working with a company with proven dedication to many satisfied customers. As well as access to the protection of the 10 Year Home First Builders Guarantee, and the use of consumer friendly building contracts.

We expect high standards from everyone we work with, and only employ quality subcontractors, who share the same high standards, are proven to be reliable and friendly and have excellent workmanship. Over the years we have established a team of these competent subcontractors.

It’s understandable that building projects are often stressful, and for that reason we aim to alleviate the pressure as much as possible by Project Managing the entire job. We are happy to liaise with local councils on your behalf to ensure all necessary paperwork is completed and the permits and site inspections take place in a timely manner to keep the job flowing nicely.

While keeping abreast of the latest compliance regulations, and new standards, we continue to maintain our ‘old school’ ideals of build it right the first time.

Brian Duncan Managing Director / Certified Builder To say building is a passion for Brian is an understatement. Watching someone’s dream become a reality provides great satisfaction. There is always a new and exciting project to work on, and we as builders are only limited by our client’s imagination. When Brian isn’t helping others to achieve their dreams, he is in his garage working on his Jeep getting ready to go out on his next 4wheel drive adventure, a sport his whole family is involved in. As a member of NZ Jeep Club, Rodney Off Road Club and The Waikato Club, Brian has been able to give back to the community by way of fundraising for many valuable organisations such as The Salvation Army, The Ahuroa Fire Brigade, Westpac Helicopter Trust, St. John’s Ambulance Service, Hibiscus Coast Hospice, as well as individual schools for their specific requirements.
