Hegarty Building offers residential building excellence to Mount Maunganui and Tauranga.

We achieve excellence by successfully collaborating with homeowners and trusted architects and sub-contractors, for the seamless integration of design and construction of new builds, renovations and additions.

Hegarty Building is a family-owned construction company that operates in the Bay of Plenty region. Hegarty Building maintains the highest standards in the building industry and implements leading-edge construction methods, tools and materials.

Our proud and motivated team strive to deliver projects on time, within budget, and to a high standard of quality that we, and the homeowners, can be proud of.

Rob’s building career started in Ireland in 2000, where he gained his carpentry and joinery qualification after four years of study. Since landing on New Zealand shores, Rob has become a Licenced Building Practitioner (LBP) and a registered Master Builder.

In Ireland, Rob quickly climbed the ladder from apprentice to site foreman for a construction company that undertook a diverse range of building projects – new home builds, bespoke architectural homes, heritage building restoration, and large scale residential developments. Rob gained extensive experience in an array of carpentry techniques and building materials – the foundation of his solid carpentry knowledge.

Seeking a new challenge, Rob moved to Queensland, Australia, in 2009 and established a two-man construction team that built cyclone-proof new builds, renovations and additions.

In 2016, Rob followed his partner, Monique, back to New Zealand where they settled in Mount Maunganui and established Hegarty Building Ltd.

Hegarty Building is a proud member of the Registered Master Builder Association, New Zealand’s largest construction industry association. The Registered Master Builders represent highly qualified professional builders who pride themselves on delivering the highest quality houses and buildings.

Having this mark next to our name means quality assured. It also means that during your new build or renovation you have access to the Master Build 10-Year Guarantee.

What is the Master Build 10-Year Guarantee?

It is the market-leading guarantee that has been protecting homes for over 25 years. Most building projects run smoothly, but sometimes things do go wrong. The Guarantee provides a process to resolves any issues that may occur during your build, and for the next 10 years. It provides much greater protection than both the Building Act and the Consumer Guarantees Act.

New Home Builds

“Build once, build right” best describes our approach to building your new home. We understand that your family home is your number one investment, and we are committed to delivering a product that exceeds your expectations at the hand-over stage, and for those many years to come.

We maintain the highest standard in the building industry and implement leading-edge construction tools, methods and materials. The end result is a sustainable home designed and constructed with top quality workmanship – backed with a 10-Year Master Build Guarantee.

We can work with your architect/draftsman on your pre-designed home, or you can involve us and our trusted architects at the preliminary design stage for a collaborative approach. Involving us from the early design stages allows us to review drawings, specifications, and material selections so that your dream home becomes a reality within your specified budget.

We deliver residential homes that are:

  • Innovative.
  • Energy-efficient and sustainable.
    • Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF) (see below for information and photos)
    • PVC windows
    • Wool insulation
    • Solar power. If not required immediately, we can future proof for solar power.
    • Electric carports in garages
  • Practical and functional.
  • Bespoke home design concepts.

Building shouldn’t be stressful, nor should it be tricky to navigate from start to finish. With a personalised construction program, you will know where we are up to on your project and what’s the next stage.

Weekly/fortnightly onsite meetings and a finishing’s list will ensure that your home at the hand-over stage will be what you envisioned.

Ambionse Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF):

Hegarty Building has experience with Ambionse Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF).

What are Ambionse Insulated Concrete Forms, and why use it?

Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF) is a poly block wall constructed from two exteriors (EPS) polystyrene panels spaced apart by plastic bridges. The inner cavity has reinforcing steel placed both horizontally and vertically, ready for concrete to fill the wall.

 Benefits for the Homeowner:

  • High insulation value of R3.0, long term saving.
  • Quieter outside noise due to solid wall construction.
  • No timber, no rot – a healthier living environment.
  • Fire-resistant rating, up to 4 hours.
  • Increased strength from steel-reinforced concrete.
  • Environmentally friendly and sustainable.


Renovations & Additions

The Hegarty Building team excels at renovating and extending existing homes. Your home can be transformed from old and tired, to new and fresh with added space, functionality and value.

We undertake all renovations/additions from small changes to complete floor layout changes. Whether you want to upgrade your kitchen/bathroom, add a bedroom or remove an internal wall, we can do it all and deliver a new home built to the highest standards, within budget and on time.

We can work through your pre-designed plans, or we can meet on-site and discuss the options available to you given your budget and what you envision for your home. One of our trusted architects can then draw your ‘revived’ dream home into a reality.

Reclads & Watertight Remediations

Homeowners have approached us for re-clads for one of the following reasons:

  • Leaky homes – localised or significant moisture damage.
  • Remove the leaky home stigma associated with their monolithic cladding home.
  • To Increase the aesthetic value of their home, or simply to rejuvenate a tired exterior.

Leaky homes were built during the 1990s and 2000s building boom. A combination of poor weathertight cladding systems (e.g. monolithic cladding), a relaxation in timber treatments standards, and poor design has resulted in water getting in between the cladding system and framework. The framework rots which jeopardises the structural integrity of a home and encourages the growth of toxic mould.

A re-clad is a whole different process to a new build, and not every builder can step you through the process smoothly. Hegarty Building offers extensive experience and the right skill set to provide you with accurate costings, realistic construction timelines and high quality, long-lasting re-clad.

The wall systems we have worked with include:

  • Weatherboards
  • Fibre cement
  • Plywood
  • Masonry veneer
  • Concrete

There is also the opportunity to get additional work completed whilst you re-clad your home. Rewiring, upgrading your plumbing, or improving on insulation will all be considerably cheaper if done during your re-clad.

Professional Reviews

1 / 2

“Rob and the Hegarty team have been an invaluable part of our house build. We took on a serious challenge of fully gutting a 1960’s brick Beazley style home and addingon a new 85m2 extension. This was not a straight forward build. As with many renovations of old houses you’ll find issues crop up that you couldn’t foresee. We did a lot of DIY at first and Rob was constantly on-hand to give us up-to-date advice to overcome these issues and keep us in-line with the building code. Then Rob and the team carried out the more skilled building tasks. This included attaching GIB, building new ceiling structure, installing joinery and building us a beautiful deck! We are very happy with the efficient and skilled work Rob and the boys carried out for us and would definitely use them again in a heart-beat.”
