MEET THE TEAM 🔨

Tim, our experienced onsite Foreman.

Tim never wanted to work in an office. Hard working and practical, he knew early on that he wanted a job where he could see the results of his work at the end of the day. When Dave took him under his wing, he found that building was the perfect fit.

Tim has worked in the business for over a decade, developing his skills and becoming a registered builder along the way. As foreman, he loves seeing young labourers do the hard yards to become registered builders like he did. A tough leader with a heart, he describes himself as ‘grumpy but adorable’.

Our valued and longest member of the Dave McCrea building team!

GET TO KNOW THE TEAM-
Starting with the boss man, Dave!

Dave has been in the building business for 15 years now, but he never gets tired of seeing happy clients and a job well done. He’s worked on everything from hard-wearing, practical dairy sheds to architecturally designed homes and holiday chalets, with highlights including big commercial contracts with Ngai Tahu and Lincoln University.

A hard-working family man, Dave trained as a builder and worked for 36 years before starting his own business. He’s across every project as project manager and director, but still likes to muck in and get his hands dirty – that’s how he keeps track of what’s happening on every build.

Close your eyes and imagine taking a journey...

… through a forest on the top of a high hill. Feel the soft crunch of pine needles under your feet as the fresh, crisp country air fills your lungs.

Soak in your very own outdoor bath while being serenaded by the sparkling night sky or take in the views while snuggling down in the comfort of your bed with an indoor fire softly flickering nearby.

It's not your average treehouse, follow Nest Tree Houses and take a look at their wonderful project we completed in March this year in the Hakataramea Valley.

Is it time you planned a special weekend away for someone special? We know they'll love it!

Over the past few months, we've been busy working away on building a new website, which has just gone live. Thank you so much to our wonderful clients for their kind words and for giving us the opportunity to showcase their wonderful build.

If you have a moment, take a look. We look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Welcome to Dave McCrea Building - we're focused on your build from start to finish.

Dave McCrea Builders started as a one-man band way back in 2006. Now, Dave works with seven dedicated builders, each with their own set of skills. This means the team can handle even tricky jobs – concrete placing, timber framing, roofing, gib fixing and more – where other firms would need to call in outside contractors.

But one thing hasn’t changed – Dave’s still running the show. He’s the first point of contact for every customer, he sorts out timelines and he’s still hands-on with every build. With most work done in-house, he can control quality and make sure every job meets his high standards.

When you work with Dave and the team, you get an incredible depth of experience and knowledge, along with a commitment to getting all the little details just right.

We look forward to speaking with you soon.

Dave’s done it all, from home builds to dairy sheds to staff accommodation and commercial projects. He and his qualified team have a huge range of skills and decades of experience, so they’re ready to jump in on your next job.
