Their Design Experience Gives Design Construct the Edge

With a long history of commercial and residential construction experience, Auckland company DC Builders can tackle a variety of projects, says company director Mel Riley who owns the company with brother Justin. Both brothers bring extensive experience as site supervisors, with some of New Zealand’s largest commercial contractors, and started their company in 2014 from a desire to return to their roots of residential construction.

From design to construction, the brothers handle the entire process with a huge focus on making the process enjoyable and stress free for each client. Their background in commercial construction has impressed upon the brothers the importance of planning and programming so that jobs flow smoothly. Mel says they are very technology focused with, for example a mobile app offering clients ready access to their project at any time.

DC Builders are registered Certified Builders giving customers the added assurance that all work completed is backed by a 10 Year Certified Builders Guarantee, meaning there is a huge emphasis placed on quality at all stages of each project. The company is also a member of Master Builders, which Mel says means clients know they have the best in the business undertaking their project.

Mel is also a designer and belongs to the Architectural Designers of New Zealand, so DC Builders can offer specialist expertise in design and build projects. The company of course also builds from clients’ own plans, and works with a range of talented architects.

“Our design experience means that when we design a project we do so from a builder’s perspective. It looks good but also goes together well so everything runs smoothly on site and problems are usually ironed out at the design stage. We also bring this approach to any project, even if we haven’t designed it ourselves,” says Mel.

Re-clads are something the brothers have built up specialist expertise in, and Mel takes on the roles of pricing, design and project management, leaving Justin free to take charge of the build on site. The brothers employ a team of 12 staff, marking the huge growth of the business in a short space of time. DC Builders works primarily in Auckland central, North Shore and Rodney, so for more information on builders Auckland, home renovations, renovation contractors and construction companies please go to https://www.designconstruct.co.nz
