About

Gregg Builders wins awards because we're good at what we do.

Christchurch Master Builders of architecturally designed homes

Gregg Builders of Christchurch builds and renovates Canterbury’s most iconic architecturally-designed residential homes.

The company's history dates back to 1939, when Christchurch Master Builder George Gregg went into business. Three generations of Gregg family builders have managed the company over the last 70 years, with George's grandson Colin Gregg now serving as Managing Director.

In the decades that Gregg Builders has been operating, building technology and building methods have changed considerably. Gregg Builders's exemplary standards of workmanship, however, remain the same.

Gregg Builders has received numerous Master Builder awards throughout the years, and many clients have come back to the company to build their second and even third homes, owing to the quality of Gregg Builders architectural houses.

Hi Colin & Katey,

Becky and I just wanted to send you and your team a note to let you know how happy we are with our new home.Having been in the building industry ourselves for the past 22yrs as specialist Rockcote applicators we have a good knowledge of and have close ties to several outstanding builders. Selecting a builder to replace our EQ damaged home was always going to be a difficult choice. In our opinion Gregg Builders stood out above all others we have worked for not only for their quality but for the way the whole Gregg Builders team, subbies included conduct themselves onsite.

With the huge volume of work on in our city during the construction of our new home and with most companies having their staff working multiple projects at once, it was a real concern of ours that we would only see our builder once a fortnight as we have witnessed so many others have to put up with. We were specifically impressed that once Blair, Corey and Will started on our site they turned up every day, 5 days a week for the duration of our build.

Your foreman Blair is an absolute credit to the Gregg Builders team and the success of our project was largely down to the way both him and your PM Craig really drive the progress onsite. Their free and open communication with us made decision making very easy for us. Having Blair and his team onsite every day he was able to sort any issues/queries with subbies immediately, not days later. This I believe was the main reason why you managed to deliver our house to us 3 weeks in front of schedule.

Our build used a number of different materials and/or techniques and not once did this faze the boys onsite, any obstacles were quickly overcome. At one point Blair even saying “we haven’t looked at the plan since we got the framing up” shows how adaptable they were to a very bespoke style of home and owner!
Colin & Katey, thank you for creating our dream home. Your Gregg Builders craftsmen have produced us the home that Becky and I never imagined we would ever own, one that we are immensely proud of and one that is extremely pleasant to live in….. and show off to our friends and family.

Kind Regards,

Glenn & Becky Munro, Properly Plastered

To Gregg Builders Ltd.

We would firstly like to thank Colin and Craig for attending the many meetings we had with our Insurance Company (NZI] and the Christchurch City Council. Also thanks to your QS, Darryn Crawford who came up with a fair re-build price that was satisfactory to all parties concerned.

Both Craig and Isaac were extremely helpful as the build progressed and were efficient in sorting out any problems that arose.

They made sure that all build materials and products were arranged well in advance so there were no hold-ups along the way.
Isaac and his team worked tirelessly to have the build finished as per their construction programme.

We had fortnightly site meetings, which keep us informed and made sure the build was finished on time.

We have no hesitation in recommending Gregg Builders Ltd and have already had two friends engage them as their builders.
They have been diligent in their follow-up with inspections and touch-ups and their “subbies” were extremely friendly and professional.

We are thrilled with our new house and the very high standard that it was built to.

With thanks,

Brian and Heather Guthrie.

To Craig, Steve, Colin and the team

We would like to formally thank you for the great experience we had working with you all in building our new home. We are both very busy in our jobs and not having the ‘build stress’ made a real difference. Having the confidence things were under control was important. A special mention of Steve, the man on the site. He knew the plans inside out, and any problems were sorted; options and solutions were presented. And appreciation to Craig for ensuring all went smoothly and that decisions were timely.

We would also like to mention the quality focus of those working on our home; both your team and the subcontractors. They were all very friendly, courteous and pleasant people who took pride in their work. Now the build is finished we miss the contact and interaction.

Your management systems are sound, and having regular site meetings kept us informed. Your focus on the programme also gave us confidence about the deadlines, and having the house completed ahead of schedule was appreciated. The financial management went smoothly and was a very transparent process.
The finished product is outstanding and we can’t fault the quality of the work.

We would certainly recommend you to others.

Regards Ken and Alison

A huge thank you to Gregg Builders on the completion of 140 Straven Rd.

We sincerely thank you and your wonderful team – office and especially Craig and Steve who were absolutely great to work with – nothing was a problem and communication was outstanding! Not just saying this with Craig being sort of related to our family – he really was outstanding.

Thank you again Colin, Katey and your marvellous team of builders.
We have a lovely house which hopefully will impress prospective buyers.

Kind regards

Ann & Martin Evans

During the building process we found the team at Gregg Builders to be excellent. Project Manager Craig and Foreman Jaeren ensured we were happy with the build progress and process at our fortnightly site meetings.

Any changes we wanted during the process we discussed and after offering their own valuable advice were implemented with ease, they were always happy to go the extra mile to keep us happy to ensure an excellent outcome. This has also extended to the after
build period whereby any remedial work or additions required by us have been organised efficiently.

We found the on-site team to be friendly and professional who also kept a tidy work site.

We are very pleased with our new house – it is beautifully finished and feels just like home.

We continue to use Gregg Builders for any building work we require with our business or in our current home and would highly recommend the team at Gregg Builders to anyone considering building.
