Meet the Team


  • Director
    Project Manager, Licensed Builder

    When I’m not working, I love spending time at the beach with my wife and our dogs. I’m also a big sports fan—you’ll often find me catching a rugby match or a game of basketball.

    Building is something I’m truly passionate about. I got into it because I enjoy creating beautiful, functional spaces and take a lot of pride in seeing a project come together. What I love most is working with clients to turn their vision into reality. There’s nothing more rewarding than handing over a finished project that exceeds expectations and seeing the excitement it brings


  • Operations Manager

    When I'm not working, you’ll often find me enjoying a coffee and walking our dogs along the beach. Before my journey in DLJ Builders began, I was teaching full-time in a local primary school. I made the decision to step into the world of business to support my husband, Dean, in growing our building company.

    I’m passionate about business and thrive working behind the scenes, where endless opportunities for growth and development spark my excitement. Whether it’s streamlining operations or exploring new ventures, I love seeing our business flourish and creating a lasting impact for our clients.


  • Qualified Builder


  • Apprentice Builder

    In my free time, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, playing rugby, surfing, and going to the gym. I love being outdoors and staying active.

    I chose to become a builder because I enjoy working outside and want to develop the skills to one day build my own home.

    What I love most about building is the variety—every day brings new challenges and opportunities to learn. I enjoy the physical nature of the job and the chance to continuously adapt and improve my skill set.


  • Apprentice Builder

    I enjoy spending my spare time with family, hiking through New Zealand’s native bush or in my local Thai boxing gym.

    My love for creativity and drive for a great career is what drove me to starting my building apprenticeship with DLJ Builders.

    My favourite thing about building with DLJ is the community of builders and other trades that work together to get the job done in a positive and productive way!


  • Apprentice Builder

    I have two daughters aged 1 and 3, so I spend a lot of time at the beach and playground with them. I love to go fishing when I can with the best trips being up to Coromandel.

    I got into building because of the variety of work and a keen interest to learn good practical skills. I love learning the best ways to build with quality and efficiency.

    I’ve always enjoyed building. I like working with a good crew and ticking off goals, seeing the end product after some graft is a great feeling.
