Property & Construction | Glenbuild
Glenbuild's award winning formula He’s gone from the rugby field to the construction site, but one thing’s for sure, Finn Glengarry doesn’t do things by halves and his building firm – established in partnership with his wife Kerry, his father and mother, Rob and Lyn Glengarry in 1994 – is proving to be a very successful move.
through the years carrying out semi commercial work with retirement village contracts, Historical Trust renovations and upgrades, as well as architecturally designed homes.
The Auckland-based building firm, Glenbuild, has been a frontrunner in the region’s building industry for more than two decades and this year celebrates the milestone of 21 years in business.
“We’re very client based and get a lot of referral business. We’ve always done a great technical job and maintained those relationships with clients. On the back of excellent workmanship, we’re trustworthy, and my tag line is ‘building a measure of trust’ and that’s what we’ve been able to achieve over the years,” Finn says.
Known in those early years as R&F Glengarry Builders, the award winning firm has progressed
In 2009 the company was awarded gold at the Registered Master Builders’ national House of the Year competition, for a “complex design” it built on One Tree Hill, and again in 2011 for a “complex build” in Pt Chevalier. Today new architecturally designed homes make up the bulk of the company’s workload. The business was renamed Glenbuild Ltd in 2009. Four years ago Finn and Kerry bought Rob and Lyn out and Glenbuild still continues as a family operation with Finn’s father in law, sister in law, niece’s partner and sometimes even Rob himself, playing active roles in the company.

These strong ongoing relationships with both suppliers and contractors have played an important role in the company’s success, Finn says. CG Plastering, RH Cabinetmakers, J Wilson and Son, Rocar Contractors, BM Electrical, West Auckland Brick and Blocklayers, McKain Fibrous Plasterers and Carters are just some of the firms which have and continue to play important roles in Glenbuild’s success.

The Glenbuild team itself plays no small part in this ongoing success. There are currently two site managers, four carpenters, two apprentices, an office manager and Kerry who controls the accounts and finances. Yet this number is supplemented by subcontractors as needed and there is currently an additional carpenter and an additional apprentice assisting in the business on a project on Waiheke Island.
