# Finer Builds — Māori-owned Waikato builders

> Family-run, NZCB-certified residential and light-commercial builder serving Hamilton, Cambridge, Te Awamutu and the wider Waikato region of Aotearoa / New Zealand. New homes, renovations, kitchens, bathrooms, light commercial, decks, granny flats, and building inspections. 10-year Halo structural guarantee on every new build.

Finer Builds is owned and operated by AJ, Tanya and Paul Allison. Based in Te Awamutu, they work across the full Mighty Waikato — Hamilton (Rototuna, Flagstaff, Hillcrest, Hamilton East), Cambridge (Leamington, St Peter's, Karāpiro), Te Awamutu, Raglan, Matamata, Morrinsville, Tirau, Putāruru, Otorohanga, Ngāruawāhia and Whatawhata. Site licensed under the **Licensed Building Practitioner** scheme, registered with **NZCB (New Zealand Certified Builders)**, and prequalified under **Tōtika** for construction health & safety.

The brand voice is direct, builder-honest, no-fluff. Pricing is fixed-price by default. Founders are on the tools — there is no project-management layer between the buyer and the people building.
