Our Key Team Members

Ray Sale

Managing Director
While most people don’t know what they want to do in life, I spent my formative years tinkering in my grandfather’s garage, creating and constructing & always knew I wanted to be a builder. Leaving school at 16 I took up a Joinery apprenticeship and spent 8 years honing my craftsmanship in the factory environment. The following 8 years were spent based in London, with a mix of travel and time spent building in the exclusive Kensington & Chelsea suburbs. I grew my skill set of building and managing projects and people with a view to taking this knowledge back to N.Z and doing it for myself. 40+ countries later it was time to go home and start my family. Fast forward 15 years of running a business and the challenges and experiences acquired along the way, I find the most rewarding part of building is being able to enhance our client’s lifestyle by helping them create the home environment they need or desire. In my spare time I help coach my 3 children’s school and local sports teams, and occasionally chase a golf ball around the trees.
