New home build, Wharehine
Beautiful new house for recent arrivals from Wellington. The owners bought the beef farm with an existing house where their son and daughter-in-law live, and the children farm the property. The owners lived in a Total Span shed and caravan, right on site, so they developed a great client/builder relationship with Pete during this efficient 6-month build. With views across the Kaipara Harbour and all day sun, this house was an ideal candidate for solar panels.
New home build, 'Tiro Retreat'
The clients liked the tramping hut look and wanted separate space for an office and the children. The 220sqm house features 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a separate quiet space/yoga room. They opted for professional interior design but added their own unique style.
The house is on a timber pole foundation set deep into the rock hillside, has colourcote cladding and matching roofing, and timber overlay flooring with hardwood decks. Solar panels provide off-grid capabilities.
The site is located back from Parkiri beach, has commanding sea views and provides a beautiful escape from busy city life.
The client was lovely to work with and the house was built over the recent challenging weather with no hiccups.
What Clients Say
New custom home
Working with PR Builders was a real success for us. We had a time and materials contract and our new home was completed on time and on budget, with finishing to a very high standard. It was really easy to work with Pete and his great communication meant that we trusted that all was under control, even though we lived 1.5 hours from the building site. He sent photographs, gave us regular updates and checked in for all decisions, making the process very easy. One of the things that really impressed us was how tidy the building site always was. This is great for health and safety, but it also demonstrated the pride Pete and his team take in delivering excellence in every aspect of the build.
Pete also has a great group of contractors who work with him. We used Pete’s network for nearly everything and were very happy with the timeliness and quality of the work as well as the friendliness and communication of the individuals – from plumbing to tiling, joinery to cabinetry, electrical to painting, the results are really good.
We have no hesitation in recommending PR Builders for any project.

House renovation.
We had Pete Richards, Shane and Ben complete a major extension/alteration to our home in Mangawhai Heads. From the start date, Pete and his team worked and communicated tirelessly, in our best interests, building to an extremely high standard to complete our project in the time frame he indicated at the beginning. Throughout the build process, Pete managed and communicated very effectively, coordinating subcontractors and identifying any potential hiccups or issues before they became a problem. He was always proactive, approachable and responsive to our needs in finding solutions as necessary.
We would recommend his services without hesitation and would be happy to talk to any future clients who may require a reference.
Heather & Glenn, Mangawhai Heads
New Lockwood Home
PR Builders was the main contractor to build our Lockwood home in Warkworth.
Pete in all aspects of his work shows extremely high professionalism and gives his all. No detail was too small and he was very good at suggesting alternatives if we ran into a problem. He is a very hard worker and ran a very tight ship. Nothing was a hassle and he quite often went beyond what he was employed to do.
We have no hesitation in recommending Pete to anyone contemplating building a new home or doing alterations and would employ him again if we did another building project.
