About

Havelock North Construction is a premier residential building company in Hawke's Bay. It offers a comprehensive range of services, from construction and extensions to renovations and alterations to decking and new builds. 

Rob has always had a passion for building; as a young boy, he displayed a natural talent for precision work when he built a tree hut on his father's walnut tree, hammering in 1,000 nails. He went on to hone his skills, completing an apprenticeship in Wellington before working overseas in London and Sydney, where he led teams in high-profile construction and renovation projects. 

Back in Hawke's Bay, Rob has over 20 years of experience in residential and commercial construction, and his company offers reliable, quality workmanship. The family home is testament to that; Rob and his wife Amanda have built a beautiful home that fits their three children, one dog and two cats perfectly.

Testimonials

When we undertook the massive task of renovating our villa Rob made the whole job run incredibly smoothly. He is always on time, works incredibly efficiently and keeps you informed. Rob took a whole lot of stress off our shoulders and ensured that every aspect of the build stayed on track. Even when I threw some changes on him, Rob was always accommodating. We stayed on budget and were incredibly happy with the finished product. I have no hesitation in recommending Rob and his wealth of experience is evident when you see him in action.

Jane and Tobias Taylor

We have used Rob on our last two design and build projects and we know the importance of having the right builder. One who is open and honest, able to give valuable advice and produce quality craftmanship is crucial to the successful conversion of our ideas into a home to be proud of. Rob is such a builder and we will use him again on any future projects

Hylton and Melanie Jones

Rob’s can do and will do attitude, combined with his fast and fastidious skills, encouraged us to use him when renovations were recently required at our business premises, Caltex Omahu Road. Rob’s exceptional trade skills were invaluable whilst speedily completing extensive renovations with minimal disruption to a busy retail environment. We would have no hesitation in recommending Liddle Builders for any construction project and would welcome the opportunity, at any time, to speak on their behalf

Grant and Jane Francis

We have had the pleasure of undertaking two renovations with Rob and his team and can’t

recommend them highly enough. The quality of his craftsmanship is excellent and we trust him

implicitly with all aspects of the building process. Nothing is a problem for Rob. His team are

professional, courteous, meticulous and always prepared to sort out anything unexpected.

We waited quite some time for Rob to have a space to take on our second project and hope that he

will take us on again in the future. He would be our first recommendation to anyone with a building

project.

Susy and David Gardner

We have owned and renovated numerous properties and been property investors. We moved to Hawkes Bay 2

years ago and we were referred to Rob through associates.  He has extensively renovated it including building a studio apartment.

Rob to carry out numerous building works and I cant speak highly enough of Rob and

his team. Not only are they very good to work with they have a very high work ethic and we were very happy

with all aspects of the property work they carried out.

We are particular as to quality and detail and I have to say we had no complaints whatsoever with any of the work they carried out for us.

Wayne Dyer

When it came time to renovating my first home, I was unsure how the whole process worked. So

when a friend recommended Rob Liddle I was nervous about how much I should know or what

things I needed to explain.

From the very first meeting Rob put me at ease, he allowed me to express my vision and listened to

all my thoughts and ideas, and always explained the process behind how things would be done. He

allowed me to have input throughout the entirety of the renovation project, which I greatly

appreciated. There were even times when I asked Rob to change things from the original plan and

he did so without a fuss, this too meant a lot to me. Rob was transparent in his pricing right from the

start and when I compared quotes to another firm Rob was by far more competitive. His staff were

great to chat with on the days that I was on site, always so friendly and attentive to my requests. I

have no doubt in recommending Rob Liddle and Havelock North Construction to anyone wishing to

have a smooth and enjoyable process when renovating their home.

This letter is a recommendation for Rob and the team at Havelock North Construction.

I have known Rob for a number of years and during that time he has undertaken renovation work for

both our family dwelling and our company.

During this time I found Rob and the team to be highly skilful and professional in their attitude to

work and their workmanship.

Robs communication and skill in his trade is a credit to him and he also expects this high standard

from his staff, which they are all happy to accommodate.

It sits with me very well to recommend Rob and his team to any project a client wishes to undertake.

Jim Guerin

Over the last two years we have undertaken a number of different construction projects at our

home, all successfully completed by Rob Liddle and his team at Havelock North Construction.

I have found Rob to be a man with a high level of integrity who can provide a solution to tricky

problems and he always ensures the job is completed to a very high standard. Rob is always

amenable to changes which sometimes happen during a building project and if there is a better way

to do something Rob will always suggest the alternative.

Another feature of dealing with Rob and his team is the access that this provides to other

tradespeople in terms of plumbers, plasterers etc, all of Rob’s connections always do a great job.

I have no hesitation in recommending Rob and his team to anyone who needs a building job done.

He is and will always be our go to guy that we know we can trust when we need something done.

Brent and Emily Greig

We have had Rob Liddle do numerous building jobs at our 1920’s villa – we have found Rob reliable,

honest and easy to work with. His building has always been tidy and looks great and professional .

He listens to us as clients and gives us options and prices that we can work with while ensuring it is

going to stand the test of time.

Rob was always punctual and worked us into his busy schedule and is an excellent communicator.

We wouldn’t hesitate to get Rob do any building we need done in the future.
