Tucked into the heart of St Johns and backing onto native bush this renovation includes bandsawn cedar finishing matched with a blend of aluminium and cedar joinery to create a clean and inviting space. Paired with architectual design the front entrance invites you in and through to a warm living area and opens up to a peaceful outdoor space surrounded by native greenery.

About the
Professional

Solid Build is owned and operated by Gerard Traynor. Gerard cut his teeth working in the high-end market constructing large scale residential projects.

The Solid Build team have knowledge and hands on experience in a wide range of construction projects, and are supported by a highly skilled, tightknit group of subcontractors. They can undertake any type of build you’re after – new builds, renovations and extensions, light commercial or full design and build projects. Nothing is too hard, too complex, or too unique. This is what the boys love creating, so the bigger the plans the better!

We’re Kiwi guys who care about people, and care about delivering an excellent result. Gerard is a family man, so he understands the importance of having a quality home that you love and will grow with you. We do right by those we serve and take great pride in every aspect of our work right down to the finer details -  quite often, it’s someone’s biggest asset and investment that we’re dealing with, so we make sure we get it right. And we always do.

Our values are simple; we’re open and approachable, we’re trustworthy, and we achieve your desired, high-quality result on time, every time. We also like being able to build a genuine relationship with our clients, to have a laugh with them from time to time, and ensure they’re enjoying the process too – because believe it or not, it is possible.
