About Us

Successfully building high quality, architecturally designed new and renovated houses for over fifteen years.

We care
about the quality outcome of your building project as much as you do.

Our proven track record of effective project management and administration offers you peace of mind with your project. We are a small, boutique building company so you will deal direct either Marty or the foreman.

We have a personalized approach with a strong emphasis on reliability, integrity, attention to detail and quality of workmanship. Our work not only results in outstanding homes, but more importantly in very satisfied clients.

Our price presentations before a project are clear and professional. Our contracts are arranged on a fixed price basis.
We believe price is an important factor. Equally important for a quality result and satisfied customer are:

reliability
integrity
attention to detail
quality of workmanship

The success of our projects is reliant upon open communication between the client, the architect and ourselves.

How do you know you are making the best choice? As a team we have won Local Gold awards at the Annual Placemakers Registered Master Builders House of the Year competition every time we have entered.

Please contact Marty van der Burg Builders to discuss your project requirements.

Nathan

Qualified Builder

Nathan is originally from South Africa and immigrated here in 2004.

He has completed his building apprenticeship through BCITO and is in his first year as a tradesman working toward becoming a LBP. He loves his sports especially cricket, and he plays football and enjoys snowboarding in the winter.

Nathan came to us as a second year apprentice – looking for a reliable employer and a positive team environment.

Judah

Apprentice – 4th Year

Judah is literally the next in line of future Tradesmen. Judah was the Deputy Head Boy at Elim Christian College where he also served as the student representative on the Board of Trustee’s.

He also worked part-time at Bunnings for a number of years and has had lots of experience serving people from the building trade. Judah would like to make building his career and is particularly interested in how he could serve the wider community with his skills in the future.

He is passionate about music and played in the school band. He enjoys tramping and other outdoor activities.

During 2003 Marty and his crew built our new house. The task was not easy. The site is steeply sloping and had stability problems, and the plans called for a very complex design utilising lots of concrete, steel, wood, aluminum and glass. Marty has been involved in the project during the planning stages, and once he started working n the job officially he became both the project manager and master builder.

He has a great ability in understanding and implementing architectural plans, and this was aptly demonstrated in this project. If we were building again, we would without hesitation ask Marty to do the work, we would recommend anyone else to do the same.

Remuera

New Home Construction

Marty came well recommended by our Architects. Because of some significant health problems I wanted the whole building process to be as stress free as possible and Marty gave me immediate confidence to achieve that. And he did! He is very well organised with systems to ensure the project runs smoothly.

His strong personality ensures he addresses issues as they arise. He is a hard worker who demands a lot from himself and has high expectations of others. He has a core group of sub-contractors, he calls them his ‘tight five’, who know Marty’s exacting requirements on quality and delivery. Technically it was a very difficult house to build but because of the close liaison throughout between architect and builder the whole process ran remarkably smoothly.

The finishing detail of the home required great skill and accuracy and it has been achieved admirably.

Mission Bay

New Home Construction

Marty tendered, along with three other builders, for the job of renovating our 100 year old Villa. The work involved building a second story incorporating two bedrooms and ensuite, rejuvenating ground floor bedrooms, bathroom and living spaces and the restoration of villa features which required considerable craftsmanship.

Right from the point of initial contact Marty impressed us with his enthusiasm, professionalism and attention to detail. We were quickly confident that the tender was well prepared, and that his team was highly capable as we had met many of the subcontractors during the tender process.

The job commenced in September and was fully completed in time for us to move back home to celebrate Christmas. We knew we has set a tight time frame and at no time was there ever a suggestion of us being disappointed.

Herne Bay

Villa Renovation

The Villa Education Trust is a charitable trust that now operates 3 schools in Auckland. Marty Van Der Burg Builders have worked on all of our sites when we have been in the setup/renovation phase. The nature of our work means we have a very short lead in time and tight deadlines.

Marty and his team have been outstanding in understanding this and facilitating our needs. They have initiative and ideas when it is needed and learnt to understand what we do and therefore were able to make great recommendations. The additional support they provided with subcontractors and the follow-up service is outstanding.

They are professional, hardworking, respectful, responsive and I would highly recommend their work.

Karen Poole

CEO – Villa Education Trust

Our experience with Marty van der Burg Builders carrying out extensive renovations of 3 bathrooms, over several months, was at all times pleasant and professional. Marty is extremely well organised, personable, and a great communicator. At our first meeting he quantified the job very accurately, including allowances for unexpected contingencies.

Our interaction with Marty, the other builders and sub contractors was always very friendly with helpful advice often given.

We would now regard Marty as a personal friend and would certainly recommend him and his team to anyone looking for building work of a very high quality of detail, done by a friendly team with high professional, personal and ethical standards.

Dr. Andrew Gordon and Dr Elizabeth Walker

Marty van der Burg Builders carried out a major renovation of our transitional Bungalow home in Remuera some time ago.

We lived in the house while it was being renovated and observed at first hand the expertise and diligence of Marty and his team over many months.

The quality of the renovation was excellent and everything we had hoped for even though various elements had been very complex. Being an accountant by profession I wanted to know constantly how the costs were tracking against budget.

Marty had an excellent accounting system and every Monday we had a meeting to track and measure progress in detail again the contract amount and timeline. His invoicing methodology was accurate, detailed, transparent and fair.

Of major importance to us was after sales service and Marty has continued to look after us by undertaking a number of small follow-up jobs even though he was busy on other major projects.

Marty and his foremen Dave and Todd place great importance on Christian values and personal integrity.

I continue to recommend Marty van der Burg Builders to my friends.

John and Rosie Crawford

Knowing Marty and his team would be my builders gave me the confidence to proceed with a complex renovation of my home.

We reconfigured most of the original single story cottage and added an upstairs master suite – all on a small site.

The budget was put under pressure early on, primarily due to additional structural sub floor work. Knowing the budget couldn’t expand Marty and his team worked with me to reduce costs without compromising quality.

Their support and communication throughout the project was outstanding and I would have no hesitation to work with them again.
I think the best indication of their success is the number of friends and family who have asked ‘wasn’t that always like that?’.

Elizabeth Motion

“We were so lucky to have found Marty and his team to build our house for us, as from the very first meeting we felt in safe hands. The whole build was professionally led and his team were trustworthy, hard working, dedicated and polite not only to us, but also to our neighbours. He kept to our planned budget and any minor changes were openly and honestly discussed without any hidden costs. The house has been completed to a very high standard of workmanship and we are delighted with our new home.” Best wishes Simon
