About us

As our name suggests, we take a simple, straight-forward approach to achieving the highest building quality.

Established in 2005 by Operational Director Jim Stenberg, a local builder with over a quarter of a century of experience in the industry, Jim the Builder has grown to become a leading Canterbury building company, recognised in numerous local and national awards for building excellence.

With a staff of over 40, who are dedicated to providing the best results – every time – for our clients, we work with some of Canterbury’s leading architects, designers and suppliers.

From a small renovation to the largest new home, in any style from character to modern architectural, and anywhere from the hill suburbs to the country, we understand how to achieve the best in the local environment.

We’re a registered Master Builder, and offer our own quality guarantees – the Jim the Builder seal of approval – underscoring the quality of everything we do. 

What We Do

We start every project the same way – by listening to what you want to achieve and understanding what the project represents to you.

We believe in bringing you on the journey – ensuring you are involved at every stage of the process. Every one of our team members is committed to doing a great job, using their expertise and creativity to make the build, repair or renovation process satisfying and enjoyable for you.

We take full responsibility for every aspect of our work. This means we carefully select our building partners, from our suppliers to our trades contractors, so we can be sure that the long-lasting quality of every aspect of your project meets our exacting standards – and yours.

Once we start work, we’ll guarantee you a completion date so you can start planning your new life in your home. Then from beginning to end, we’ll stay in touch with you – and your own architects and designers – to ensure we’re realising your vision with each step.    

And you have our promise – we won’t hand over the keys until the project has achieved the Jim the Builder seal of approval.

Insurance Solutions

Having worked with a wide range of property repairs and rebuilds throughout the Canterbury earthquake recovery, we understand the challenges and stresses homeowners have faced.

And while we’re proud of our record of support for the Canterbury rebuild to date, we recognise that the repairs and rebuilds still outstanding are some of the most complex.

That’s why we’re bringing our experience – from negotiating with insurers to get the best results for homeowners, to dealing with unique and challenging engineering and repair processes – to an entirely new service.

With Jim the Builders’ specialist earthquake repair service, we’ll take care of the whole process and drive forward through every element – from settlement, to design, to completion – until you get the results you want.

We know this has been a drawn-out and stressful process for you. So we want to get the solution that allows you to do more than just move on with your life. Our aim is to ensure you finally get the results, satisfaction and enjoyment of your property that you deserve.
