Faulkner Construction

About

Faulkner Construction has been in the business of building dream homes for more than 40 years and has earned a reputation for being one of the best.

A regular Gold Award winner in Auckland and nationally in the "House of The Year" competition.

Faulkner Construction is a family business with a history of success. Ross still gets great satisfaction in taking clients' dream homes from paper to reality. It's not just the physical challenge of the build that Ross enjoys, it's the whole experience. Getting to know people, listening to what they want and don't want, understanding their style of living, and how their family will live out their lives in that home. The ultimate success is delivering this to them.

Quality is Mantra

Quality is the mantra at Faulkner Construction. We view each home we build as if it was our own.
Ross has a very critical eye for quality and will not accept anything that compromises a quality finish. It's not just the quality of the build that Faulkner Construction take pride in, it's also the quality of their conduct on site. Clients tell us how much they like and enjoy the Faulkner guys working on their homes - how punctual they are, how friendly and tidy they are, and how they are basically a joy to have around.

Testimonials

The over-arching feeling which comes from Faulkner Construction is that they have the experience and professionalism to handle whatever issues a building program can throw up. Headed by owner Ross Faulkner, the team of Sieng, Alastair, Andrea and all the tradesmen at Faulkner Construction are a formidable team who are craftsman in their field and produce a product to the highest standard, proven by the awards they regularly win at the Master Builders House of the Year Competition. We genuinely enjoyed this building process, which is something you don't often hear about building a new house. Coming to site most days to see the changes and progress being made, we were very involved in the build and quite particular about the details of our house and Faulkner respected this and delivered an amazing result which has exceeded our expectations. It has actually been difficult writing this reference because words don't seem to adequately express our gratitude for the care and professionalism Faulkner Construction took with our project, particularly Sieng, the site foreman. He is completely unflappable and his attention to detail and ability to get on with the job was a large contributor to the success of the project. When we were looking for a builder we contacted a previous client of Faulkner Construction for a reference and their advice was to look no further than Faulkner Construction. Having now completed our own project with them we can totally echo this advice and if we decide to build again they are the only builders we would consider using.

In case we haven’t already thanked you all for our unbelievable home, THANK YOU! We honestly can’t tell you in enough words how incredible it is to wake every day to this stunning home you have all created for us, with your vision, attention to detail, and pure excellence all round! I will never believe how you didn’t win the NZIA Supreme Award, but never mind, WE LOVE IT, and can’t imagine having to hunker down anywhere else in the world right now!

Rod and Liz Davis

We have been working with Ross and the team over the last 12 years on a variety of projects with varying degrees of complexity. We expect a lot of the builders we work with and Ross never disappoints. They are well organised, skilled builders, good with their communications, good people and we have a history of very satisfied clients with them.

Malcolm Walker Architects

Faulkner Construction have just completed a major project for us in Whitford. They were a great team to work with, both on site & in the office with excellent communication & teamwork. Every project has it’s challenges & components that need working out, the team were always interested in achieving the best results & used their combined knowledge & skills to achieve our vision. We were very impressed with the level of detail and craftmanship achieved in the project and we look forward to working with Ross & his team again on future projects.

Fraser McNaught - Native Architecture

Choosing the right builder to build our client’s 700m² dream home is not something we take on lightly especially when the house design is an old classic, the American Cape Cod style which carries many complicated features and very demanding detailing. When we first met Ross from Faulkner Construction, he promised to build an “award winning” house and we were delighted. True to his words, the house was built beautifully. During the construction process, we found Faulkner Construction composed of very thoughtful, reliable and highly competent professionals. The site foreman, Tai, with his years of experience and knowledge, blended every tradespeople successfully and delivered satisfying results. He is friendly and easy to communicate with, understand the drawings and interpret the design intent accurately. He will go an extra mile in getting things done perfectly. The house was completed to a high standard as a result of a skilful team who are committed, dedicated, passionate and paid extreme attention to details. We will not hesitate to use Faulkner Construction again.

Appreciated the renovations being coordinated by Faulkner giving us a stress free, on-time result with a quality finish.

Janet Stevenson

Faulkner built an extension to our house that included an elevator. The job was done, professionally, competently, and in a timely manner. Matt, the lead builder was excellent. He communicated well; answered all questions and came up with sound solutions. His skill, supported by the management team at Faulkner’s have given us an addition to our home that we will enjoy over the years!
To all the staff at Faulkner‘s our thanks for a great job!

Deryck Wardlaw

Professional team, with work completed to a high standard and under budget! Will be using again for all further renovations. Thanks to the whole team involved.

Highly recommend Faulkner Construction for your housing or renovation project. They take great pride in their work and created a wonderful outdoor deck and wall modifications for us. When any problems or challenges arose they resolved them with urgency never compromising on quality.

Vernon Lomberg

Faulkner were great to work with on a client's bathroom, laundry and ensuite renovation. Easy communication, well managed site and subtrades.

Karen Kelly

Philip Faulkner managed the renovation of our home in Mellons bay. His superb communication with us and his expertise at his trade resulted in a fabulous home we are very proud of. 

Steve and Nicky

We have used Faulkner construction for a number of years on a number of different projects. Each and every time we have been impressed with not only the quality of work and craftmanship but also the culture that is installed at Faulkner Construction.

The builders and office staff have been professional and helpful throughout our renovations and maintain the high standards that Ross sets.

Ryan Thomas

Having Faulkner Construction build our first home was an investment that really paid off. Our 12 year old home is still as pristine as the day it was built. What a peace of mind!

Felicia Godoy

Our house was completed in August 2011 just before the World Rugby Cup in NZ. This enabled us to welcome our overseas visitors to luxurious accommodation. We are thrilled still with the house and the quality of the construction is testament to input and attention to detail Faulkner Construction put into the building of our wonderful house. We still have a strong relationship with Faulkner Construction and we both have no hesitation in recommending Faulkner Construction for their new house build.

Nick Morison

Faulkner Construction built our house four years ago, and when it came time to finish the landscaping, we were never going to choose any other builder. This project involved extensive landscaping to the front yard and it was completed on time and to the same exacting standards as we have come to expect from Faulkner Construction. As soon as it was completed, we received many unsolicited favourable comments from members of the public who were passing by. If you are considering a construction project, don’t go past Faulkner Construction.

Lance and Michelle

Faulkner Construction have recently completed an 18 month long major rebuild and renovation of our Whitford home. Consequently we are very happy with the results. We enjoyed working with the entire Faulker team and feel everyone had common objectives to get the best possible outcome. Any problems that arose were quickly and happily resolved with innovative efficient solutions.

I would use Faulkner again and happily recommend them to anyone.

Brent Forman

Thanks for coming to our house when we were away. Leaving our keys with you took away a lot of stress. Well done on your awards - Supreme Renovation Award, Auckland House of the Year, Craftsmanship award, and more. Awards speak for themselves.

David Walker

Ross and Faulkner Construction carried out a major renovation of our home in Ponsonby, Auckland. From the very beginning the communications were excellent and the advice I was given was sound.
Quality was always the priority and with a group of quality sub-contractors the Faulkner team completed our project in good time.
Our home then went on to win a Master Builders Gold Award in 2020 and we could not be happier with a home that feels crafted more than built.
I would recommend Faulkner Construction to anyone who wants to have an expertly constructed Home they will be proud to live in.

Peter Savoy

We contracted Faulkner Construction to build our new house in south-east Auckland. Ross and Adriaan were fantastic to deal with from the very start of the process when we were still having the house designed by the architect. The house build won a Registered MasterBuilder's House of the Year Gold Award which the team thoroughly deserved.

Joel Lindsey

I have worked with Faulkner Construction for many years to maintain my 100 year old villa in Auckland and this year I asked them to complete renovations to modernise it. The company was wonderful to work with. Not only did I get a beautiful and sensitive restoration of the villa, working with an architect recommended by the company and a fantastic site team of really dedicated and talented young men but they completed the work in record time - less than six months - to an exceptionally high standard. I was overseas for most of this time and was still able to stay in touch through the Procore system and lots of emails to keep the work on track. I cannot speak highly enough of this company and its staff and would recommend them to anyone.
