About

Established in 2003, Lofroth Builders Ltd is the proud result of Brian Lofroth’s long and extensive professional journey. Long before becoming a Managing Director, he began building under the tutelage of renowned craftsman Roy Mulholland, completing his carpentry apprenticeship in 1981. 

Starting his own company in 1985, he became a Licensed Building Practitioner and business member of the Certified Builders Association of New Zealand in 2013. Passionate about sharing his vast knowledge with his apprentices, he also values social responsibility, having travelled to Romania to build a home for orphans. 

In 2014, Lofroth Builders received a Master Builders Bronze Award for House of the Year - excellence in workmanship, creativity and innovation between $600,000 – $1 million. Environmentally and socially responsible, our business is conscious of the choices we make when selecting building materials. As much as possible, we purchase eco-friendly products and utilise sustainable solutions where possible.

"What makes Lofroth Builders different is that we're more personalised. We don't treat customers like a number. We're very close, like a family." - Brian Lofroth

Testimonials


“We are very happy with our new home. This is the first home that we have built and Brian and his team who were very friendly, patient and helpful during construction.

Karen and Mark Vince

“Lofroth Builders Ltd have completed several building projects for us, including a major extension to our dwelling. We stipulated that the extension had to match exactly the original house and not be seen as an ‘add on’. The result matched our best expectations and we are well satisfied with their work.”
Fergus and Annette Spence
“Earlier this year we had a deck built by Brian Lofroth Builders. We were really impressed by Brian and his builders throughout the whole process. The quote was supplied promptly and work started shortly after. We were kept informed of every stage of the job and it was finished at the time we were originally advised. The deck is very large and required a lot of work. Everyone who has seen it has been very impressed. The builders were nice guys and easy to have around. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.”

We have known Brian and Jenny Lofroth since 2005 when they first came to Romania to help us build an extension to a residential home for abandoned girls we run in the town of Timisoara. Whilst here we saw their professionalism and amazing ability to adapt to working conditions in a different culture. The extension was finished in record time and we were very happy with the outcome. Since then they have returned to Romania a number of times and were the major builders in constructing a 750 square metre home for boys in the village of Ianova, 20km from Timisoara. Once again we saw their professionalism and ability to problem solve in a building environment much different to that of New Zealand’s. We are happy to recommend them as quality professional builders full of integrity who get the job done on time and with a smile on their faces.”
