Building homes the right way.
Meet Otago Homes
We want you to have the best build experience. Full stop.
Your home, your haven, your biggest investment—whatever you call it, we know how much it matters to get it built right.
As property lovers ourselves, we’re passionate about creating homes that are not only well built, but built with care. we also understand the building process can feel overwhelming. Even the bravest can feel lost in the jargon, paperwork, and endless decisions.
That’s why our mission is simple: guide you from concept to completion clearly, calmly, and without compromise. Whether it’s your first home, your forever home, or something in between, we’re here to make sure you enjoy the journey and love the result.
We’re a team of Queenstown locals who share a genuine passion for building well.

I’ve been running construction projects in Queenstown since 2019, after moving into the building industry from a background in managing large-scale events and functions. Organisation has always been my strength, and I bring that into every project with a passion for making the building journey easier for clients.
I’ve studied project management and quantity surveying, along with gaining health and safety, business and leadership diplomas — all of which help me keep projects running smoothly.
Where many people feel overwhelmed is where I thrive. I love seeing clients enjoy the excitement of their finished home, knowing I’ve helped make the process as seamless as possible.
I moved to Queenstown in 2013 from the UK and quickly fell in love with New Zealand. Now with my young family, I couldn’t imagine raising them anywhere else or being part of a more inspiring community.

I’m a Licensed Building Practitioner with over 20 years of experience in the industry. Over the years I’ve worked on everything from commercial builds to architecturally designed homes and bespoke landscaping projects. That variety is what keeps me passionate about building — every project brings something new.
Since my late 20s, I’ve successfully run a building company that continues to operate today. Through this, I’ve built a network of trusted local subcontractors and suppliers, and I’m proud of the strong relationships we’ve created. Together, we’ve delivered an impressive track record of quality builds across the region.
Otago Homes is the next step, giving me the chance to focus on offering clients a more bespoke and specialised service. I love being hands-on, running a crew, and seeing a project come together. I’m known for being approachable and easy to work with, and I enjoy creating an environment where clients feel confident and excited throughout the process.
Born and bred in New Zealand, I’ve settled in Kingston with my family, where I enjoy the quiet life. When I’m not on site, you’ll find me out fishing or spending time with my daughter — being a dad is one of my favourite roles of all.

With over 20 years in the construction industry, I bring a wealth of experience as both a qualified bench joiner and carpenter. Over the years, I’ve worked across a wide range of roles, giving me a well-rounded perspective on every stage of the building process.
I’m grateful to now call Queenstown home, and my mission is to help others achieve their dream of living and building in this stunning part of the world. I understand that building a home can feel overwhelming, but with our team’s combined expertise, attention to detail, and commitment to quality, you can feel confident that your project is in the best hands.
