We love transforming homes. From a designer kitchen, luxurious bathroom, or a new deck, be the envy of your street and love the finished result for years to come.
Grab one of our preliminary plans and make it your own. Pick materials and your personal tweaks and we can guide you through consent and build it with no hassle.
Designer building materials can be within your budget and will give your home high-end curb appeal. Updating the outside of your house, means protecting the inside of your home.
Here at Buchanan, we’re all about transparency. Either fixed price or cost plus margin, we do open book so you’re not in the dark about bills. Call us to find out more.
"Tony has been my go-to builder for several years now. Being a tradesman myself I look for high quality workmanship and honest pricing. Tony takes ownership of the project from start to finish, he is easy to communicate with and his team are easy to have around. I highly recommend Buchanan Renovations."
Jeremy Stratton, The Lawn Laying Co.
"Tony did a major renovation on a difficult site for me. The whole process was fun and we couldn't be happier with the outcome, which is largely due to Tony's attention to detail, diligence and the fact that he is a down to earth nice guy who is easy to get on with. I fully recommend Tony and am happy to provide verbal references. "
Dave Ritten, Renovation
"We used Buchanan Construction to completely reclad our 2 storey home, install new double glazed joinery, replace decking, carry out internal renovations and reconstruct internal and external stairs. Tony and his team were always very professional, efficient and productive."
John and Wendy Anderson, House Reclad & Renovation
"Buchanan Construction successfully interfaced with our architect, geotech, engineers and others to build a 200 squared meter deck, suspended concrete platform to support a new pool as well as completing interior and exterior renovations. Reliable, friendly and highly skilled. No hesitation in recommending Buchanan Construction. "
Kevin, Home Renovation
"Having extremely high standards and expectations, Buchanan Construction not only met but exceeded these with quality workmanship, care and responsibility. Tony’s effective communication ensured everyone was kept well informed and involved throughout and his recommendations and management "
Debby, Architectural Extensions
All our builders are qualified or on their way toward it.
That means no hammer hands or labourers, only qualified builders or apprentices. This means we’re invested in the outcome and delivering high-end builds.
No hidden profits.
We’re all about transparency and no surprises so you can see what we’re doing, and how much it’s going to cost.
Always looking for ways to improve.
It’s no secret that the construction industry isn’t perfect. But we’re committed to doing our bit to reduce our environmental footprint. We’re economical with our materials and keep timber onsite to reduce waste.
Over 16 years on the tools.
Owner and certified builder, Tony Buchanan, has been building since 2004.
Your trusted local Rodney & North Shore builders.
We’re tired of Aucklanders getting ripped off and the building industry getting a bad reputation for cowboys doing substandard work. We love nothing more than seeing our clients happy. That’s why we’re all about communicating with you well and often, being frank and upfront with you about costs and timeframes, and delivering personalised, superior quality homes.
Everyone has favourites. Perhaps it’s the enduring nature of concrete or the rustic feel of timber. Or, maybe you love definitive black lines or the bright metallic shine of copper that matures over time.
Dream it. Find it. Grow it.
A dream is where it all starts. Some are bigger and bolder than others, but they share one thing in common: We all want a space that we can call our own.
Browse through our designs to discover how we can transform your dream into a plan. Next, spend some no-strings-attached time with us where we discuss your options and any necessary alterations. Let’s make it happen.
The build is the time where we pull all the ideas and people together to make your dream space a reality. That’s why we don’t take any shortcuts. The result? Something you can proudly call your own.
