About Canterbury Builders

Canterbury Builders was founded in January 2011 and is the result of a successful working relationship between two qualified building contractors and a project management professional. This initial collaboration has built a strong and successful company and has been strengthened by a dedicated and experienced team of builders and sub-contractors.

The management team at Canterbury Builders Limited work closely to ensure the best outcome for our clients.

Victoria manages all company admin to ensure everything is up-to-date and everyone is supported to get projects completed.
Clayton and Phil oversee all our major projects keeping everyone involved informed and on task.

We are a young company who enjoys exploring new technology and embracing innovation within the industry. From sustainable exterior cladding to feature walls or heating solutions we are across it. Often it is our clients who introduce new ideas and technology for us to incorporate into their project. We embrace any opportunity to collaborate with our clients and improve on our knowledge and expertise.

To achieve the best solutions for our clients we engage with a strong network of industry leaders to ensure that all projects are completed with the attention to detail and quality that is required. This network includes:

  • Architects
