Ram Builders

RAM BUILDERS LTD was started in 1998 by me, Ross McPherson . I'm a time-served, trade-certified carpenter. I did my apprenticeship with three Auckland building firms, working primarily in West Auckland and Central Auckland. Most of my apprenticeship was served to work on high-end villa and bungalow renovations, the ones where we had to install rafters, not pre-made trusses; where we had to cut ornate cornices by hand, not run them through with a drop saw. My apprenticeship ensured I was taught how to build a house from start to finish , so I’m proud to say I’ve never worked on a cheap knock-em up group home where you only get to stand pre-nailed frames. I’m proud of something else too: my team . It's not only me that knows what matters on building sites - my guys do too. They are all trade qualified carpenters or are on their way to becoming one through a proper BCITO time-based apprenticeship. I choose my guys not only for their building skills , but also for their people skills , their honesty , the value they place on family , and their character . These are the type of guys that go the extra mile to make sure a job is done right, not just done quickly. They are problem solvers, not problem makers. Finally, there's one other quality that is essential to being on my team, and that’s a great sense of humour - because building sites just work better when you can have a laugh .
