About
Exceptional Builds from The Begovich Brothers
Growing up on the family farm gave brothers Shaun and Hayden Begovich their first practical building experience – huts and maimais. They both successfully completed their apprenticeships in Morrinsville, gaining extensive building and project management skills, and a love for building new homes and challenging renovation jobs.
With their broad experience combined, the brothers teamed up and established Begovich Builders in 2005 to provide an exceptional service to clients, from bespoke architecturally designed new builds, extensive renovations to small bathroom renovations and decks.
With Shaun based in Hamilton and Hayden in Matamata, the company boasts up to sixteen additional employees between them. The team work on jobs throughout the Waikato, and have the ability to manage larger projects by combining the teams when required. The brothers are dedicated educators in the industry and continually upskill and educate their employees and pass on their vast skills and knowledge including the importance of safe work sites.
Begovich Builders pride ourselves on our proven work ethic. You can expect careful planning, tidy work sites and excellent results and a guarantee on anything we build.

Testimonials
Our house extension was booked in and started on time. Their communication was outstanding. At no point were we ever left wondering if they were going to be on site on any given day. The Begovich Builders team were consistently polite, considerate, patient and happy to be at work. All the team were all immaculately presented right down to their vehicles. They left the entire building site tidy at the end of each day.
In our opinion our building work couldn’t have gone better. We are thrilled with the result. We wanted the extension to blend with the existing house which was achieved with the teams attention to detail. The team respected our building budget, they was happy to work with us and suggested where funds could be saved. Any additional work was always quoted and we knew exactly what the cost would be. We were always given all the options and left to make our decision. There was always someone on site who could answer any questions and we were always informed of what was going to be built next in the process.
We love our house. We get really nice comments from friends and neighbours and are always pleased when we are asked who did the work. It is with great pleasure are able to tell them how enjoyable the building process was with Hayden, Shaun and the team at Begovich Builders.
We approached Brian White and architect from Hamilton; he recommended demolition and produced a plan for a beach batch that would suit our needs. He had a quantity surveyor do a pricing. This proved to be above our budget. After some plan alterations it met our budget.
Brian then put it out to tender with Builders he had used previously. Begovich builders was one of these . His price was on the mark for us, so after meeting him and on the architect’s recommendation he was awarded the contract.
Regular meetings were held throughout the building process with the Begovich Builders team the architect and ourselves. These were always very cordial; they listened, and made suggestions. Most of the alterations and incorporated into the building.
Our observation is that the Begovich builders’ teams are very good builders, very good finishers, and the time frame was as quoted at the commencement.
We highly recommend the Begovich builders team as a very professional pleasant and affordable building team.
Inevitably, in a renovation like ours, issues arise. They identified these immediately and discussed them with us to find the best and most cost effective solutions. We were kept well informed during the entire process and felt so comfortable with them that we left the country for a week at the start of the project.
The impeccable way in which the team dealt with the other trades’ people gave us great confidence that all aspects of the project were under tight control and always on track.
We were so impressed with their high standard of finish and attention to detail. Hayden Shaun and their entire team were professional, reliable and trustworthy and were a pleasure to deal with. We would unreservedly recommend Begovich Builders.
Having never embarked on such a journey before, our knowledge of the process and what it entailed was slim to say the least. We found the Begovich builders team to be a wonderful mentor throughout the process from beginning to end.
To begin over a couple of meetings with us both he was able to draw up a draft plan with all of our desires. They then took this away and drew them all up to scale, modifying things to best optimise the floor space that we desired. This was more than generous with their time and made the whole beginning process relaxed for us.
Their knowledge of materials, their uses, life spans, and maintenance required was expansive. He guided us in the decisions we made enabling us to fulfil our dream of having a low maintenance home that was able to withstand the weather conditions of the Waikato. They were also very accommodating to our request of having some of our own sub contractor’s work on the job, as well as allowing us to shop around for the best prices on products and chattels. We never felt limited to only a few choices of fixtures or suppliers, thus enabling us to have exactly what we wanted.The team kept in constant contact with us, sometimes even daily when required, and kept us posted with the progress of the home.
The Begovich builders team were a great bunch of guys that always made us feel welcome on the site and also shared their knowledge and opinions, helping us make decisions that would best suit our needs. The finishing of the home was impeccable. A detail that does not go un-noticed by all who come through. To say we are pleased with the final outcome would be an understatement. The house is better than we ever allowed ourselves to imagine. All of their ideas that we added to the plan have taken it up to the next step in our eyes.
Begovich builders teams’ honesty, and communication, made them so approachable and we trusted him implicitly to do what was best with our investment. We never felt that we couldn’t go to him with little (or big!) changes that we wanted to make, and he was always so very accommodating of these.He truly made the experience a pleasure and has a work ethic that we were unable to compare with any other individual that we came across throughout the process.
We would use him again in an instant and would not hesitate to recommend both Shaun, Hayden and the Begovich builders team to all.
From the beginning of the build right through to the final sign-off the workmanship was of an excellent quality. Both Shaun and Hayden were proactive in offering suggestions for improvement and receptive to concerns and ideas that we had along the way.
As first time home builders we found this open communication, with ourselves and our architect, to be very reassuring and it certainly resulted in better decisions being made.
We now have a home, completed on time and on budget which we are very happy with and this is largely due to the professionalism and commitment of the Begovich Builders team.
We cannot recommend Begovich Builders highly enough to any prospective home builders.
We contacted The Begovich Builders team and they began by assisting us with the design and ideas on roof line and finishing materials as well as selecting sub trades and also recommending the materials we should use that they considered would met our needs and budget. The team also listened to what we wanted and how we wanted the house to look on completion and he gave us an estimated timeline for completion of the alteration.
These guys were a pleasure to deal and work with and they impressed me a great deal as they cleaned up the work site after every working day to the point of sweeping and hosing downdusty areas, I never had to do any more cleaning once after they had finished each day. Their quality of finishing work was outstanding and their end of day clean-up was to die for.
I am a very fussy person and often extremely hard to please especially given my upbringing with a father in the cabinet making and building trade. Their friendly and professional approachto work places the Begovich Builders team second to none and even with pour weather their stickability to the time frame was impressive to say the least.

Begovich Builders were simply amazing. We phoned Hayden to come and look at our house soon after we moved in with regards to replacing the fixtures in one bathroom. We mentioned in the future we would like to add on a garage but really had no idea of cost and ease of doing the alteration. We didn’t have a time frame. Hayden was more than happy to have a look, and suggested several options and talked us through what we needed to do to start the process. His team came and made our old bathroom look fantastic within a matter of days. An issue with a rotten floor was rectified with existing floor boards from another room. The bathroom project showed us that Begovich Builders were easy to work with, were accurate with their time frames and came up with the solution to any arising problems. All ideal qualities if you plan on renovating an older home.
Our house extension was booked in and started on time. Hayden’s communication was outstanding.
