Why Choose Us
North Canterbury builders with the personal touch
T Dunn Builders was established by Todd Dunn in 2016. Based in Waikuku, we build high-quality new homes, liveable sheds, minor dwellings, additions, renovations and extensions to existing houses throughout Waikuku, North Canterbury, the wider Canterbury region and on the West Coast.
We’re very proud to have recently won a Master Builder’s Regional Supreme Award for a new build that also featured on Grand Designs, and was especially notable because it was actually completed on time and within budget!
That’s what we believe in: accountability. When you work with us, you’ll deal with the owner of the business and get a result we’ll all be proud of. We want every customer to be a repeat customer in the future. But that’s why people love working with us; we believe in accountability, reliability, and quality from start to finish. People love working with us, and we think you will too. Our reviews tell the story.
Building is in the blood
Todd was always going to be a builder. He is the third generation from a family of builders – dad, grandad, and both uncles were all chippies. Alongside the skills of the trade and all the professional qualifications and licenses that go with them, Todd acquired the attitude and work ethic that makes such a fine representative of the Dunn name today.
Todd’s clients say, “He is approachable, reliable, he prices thoroughly, and despite being a fast worker he’s still a true craftsman, he comes in on budget – and he tidies up.” So you see, Todd ticks every box – with a smile and endless passion for his craft. That’s why if you want a great building experience, you should probably talk to Todd.
