Buildmac Limited, Napier

Build Mac is a Hawke’s Bay design and construction company specialising in custom new homes, renovations, extensions, kitchens, bathrooms, granny flats, commercial fit-outs and architectural design. Based in Napier, we proudly work throughout Hawke’s Bay, including Hastings, Havelock North, Taradale, Clive and surrounding areas, helping clients bring their building projects to life with expert advice, thoughtful design and quality craftsmanship.

We offer a complete Design & Build service, managing projects from the initial consultation and concept design through to working drawings, council consent, pricing, construction and final handover. By combining Licensed Building Practitioner (LBP) design expertise with more than 30 years of hands-on building experience, we provide one experienced team to guide you through the entire process.

Unlike companies that only design or only build, we understand both. Every project is designed with construction, budget and long-term performance in mind, resulting in homes and buildings that are practical to build, cost-effective and enjoyable to live or work in.

Our services include custom new homes, architectural home design, renovations, home extensions, kitchen renovations, bathroom renovations, granny flats, minor dwellings, transportable homes, commercial office fit-outs, building consent documentation, project management and complete Design & Build solutions.

Whether you’re building your forever home, renovating a character villa, modernising an outdated kitchen, adding extra living space for a growing family or creating a commercial workspace, we take the time to understand your goals before developing a solution that suits your lifestyle and budget.

Every design considers natural light, indoor-outdoor flow, storage, furniture layouts, energy efficiency, future flexibility and how people actually use their homes. We believe great design isn’t just about appearance—it’s about creating spaces that work beautifully every day.

Our renovation experience allows us to confidently manage everything from structural alterations and extensions through to complete home transformations. We understand the challenges of working within existing buildings and carefully plan each project to minimise disruption while delivering exceptional results.

Bathrooms and kitchens are among the most important rooms in any home, and we pay particular attention to the details that make the biggest difference. From waterproofing, lighting and ventilation through to cabinetry, tiling, fixtures and finishes, every element is considered to create spaces that are both beautiful and highly functional.

We are also experienced in designing and building granny flats and minor dwellings, helping homeowners create accommodation for family members, generate rental income or maximise the potential of their property. We stay up to date with changing building regulations and can guide clients through the consent process with confidence.

For businesses, we deliver professional commercial fit-outs that create practical, attractive work environments while minimising disruption to day-to-day operations. From office refurbishments to complete interior fit-outs, we coordinate every aspect of the project.

Quality workmanship sits at the heart of everything we do. We don’t believe in shortcuts. From framing and waterproofing through to lighting layouts, plastering, painting, tiling, cabinetry and finishing details, we focus on getting every stage right the first time. Our systematic approach, experienced tradespeople and attention to detail ensure a high standard on every project.

Communication is equally important. Building or renovating is one of life’s biggest investments, so we keep clients informed throughout the project. Clear pricing, realistic timelines and regular updates help remove uncertainty and create a more enjoyable building experience.

At handover, our commitment doesn’t stop with the keys. Clients receive a comprehensive project handover package including warranties, maintenance information, product schedules, paint colours, supplier details and construction photographs documenting important services behind walls, providing valuable information for future maintenance and renovations.

Build Mac has earned a reputation throughout Hawke’s Bay for honest advice, practical solutions, quality construction and outstanding customer service. Much of our work comes from referrals and repeat clients who value our professionalism, reliability and commitment to delivering projects that exceed expectations.

Our practical construction experience shapes every design decision, helping create homes that are easier to build, more efficient and better value for our clients.
