About

HYBRID BUILD: CRAFTSMAN BUILDERS

Hybrid Build is a 100% Kiwi-owned and family-run business. Husband-and-wife team Dale and Gretchen Bainbridge established their first construction company in 1981 and in the 40 plus years since have created an outstanding reputation for reliability and trustworthiness. Their son Clark, a Quantity Surveyor BQS is now Managing Director and the tight-knit team provides the personal touch for every client, as evidenced by the long list of satisfied homeowners.

Many highly-regarded Auckland architects recommend Hybrid Build to their clients, with a substantial amount of the company’s business generated by word of mouth recommendations and referrals. But after four decades in the building industry, the Bainbridge team knows that “It’s not about us, it’s about great results for our clients – our favourite part of the process is when we talk to our happy customers.”

Testimonials

My wife and I own one of 11 units in a body corporate, nine of which have been repaired because of leaky building syndrome. A testimony to the service provided is that the body corporate is intent on requiring the owners of the two remaining units to use Prendos Limited and Hybrid Residential Limited to oversee and carry out the work on those two units, when the time comes, to ensure the same level of expertise and quality of work is maintained throughout the complex, safeguarding the uniformity, durability and value of the entire property.
I am happy to be contacted for any further comments or questions which may arise.

Robert Burke

At all times during our dealings with Hybrid Residential, they were professional, quick to respond and always offered the best possible solution of the best value. 

We cannot speak more highly of the way in which their builders conducted themselves whilst working on our property and the level of workmanship far and exceeded our expectations. 

Scott and Siobhan Wilson

I have no hesitation in recommending Hybrid Residential Ltd as a building company experienced in undertaking and satisfactorily completing “leaky building” type projects.


I have been associated with the firm on several projects of this nature and have found that principals and staff combine well to provide and efficient building operation that produces quality buildings.

I am happy to recommend Hybrid Residential Ltd as a building contracting firm to you. Our company has been associated with Hybrid Residential Ltd since 2005.

I am aware that the head inspectors from the territorial authorities where they have undertaken building projects (that being Auckland City Council, Waitakere City Council and North Shore City Council) have a positive relationship with Hybrid Residential Ltd and consider this company to be a competent building contractor.

“Excellent quality with careful attention to detail”. I have known the Directors of Hybrid Residential Limited for over twenty years.

From that time, Hybrid have completed a number of high-quality contracts under my control for a number of Government, institutional and residential clients. The work carried out by the company has been of excellent quality, with careful attention to detail. Their attention to follow-up issues has also been consistently good and their work is always of high quality.
