About Us
I was born in the Horowhenua and have resided here all my life. I have been in the building industry as a qualified carpenter and builder for over 40 years, exclusively building in the Horowhenua /Manawatu / Kapiti areas. My father was also a self employed builder so you could say that building is in my genes I have been on building sites almost since I was able to walk.
I have always had a passion to build and have a real pride and satisfaction when I complete a home. There is a real sense of accomplishment when handing over the keys at the end of every build to a happy and excited customer.
To me the natural progression of Carpenter to then Builder and finally Craftsman is striving to build something different and always be evolving so to that end I am always looking and assessing the latest materials and learning the latest techniques. Complex builds for me give excitement, I have always loved a challenge.
How many builders live in a street in which they have built (and am still building) all the homes. I am surrounded by my customers all of which I now call friends.
Building is not stressful, not if you pick the right team, it is a hugely satisfying and enjoyable experience. When you use CDBL you will be getting me managing the whole project from start to finish, we only use highly experienced and qualified subcontractors. We will never cut corners or use substandard materials you can be assured that your home will be built solidly, will be energy efficient and sound, remember I live in the community in which I build.
So come on give me a call, let me know what you are planning for your dream home, when building with CDBL building your own home is easier than you think.
Yours faithfully

Over the years we have been involved numerous subdivisions in Levin from small townhouse developments like Surrey Lane and Cumberland Court to superior residential developments like Corfe Castle Lane to our most recent residential development, Phoenix Palms Grove developed under Fairfield Palms Limited.
All were developed with the same vision in mind, built from our imagination, where we wanted to combine beauty and style while also creating value and quality.
We have used our decades of knowledge to provide homes with thoughtful design to provide our customers with their own private sanctuary. These developments have stood the test of time and we are proud of every single one.
Whether you are wanting to use one of our sections or your own, our knowledge is at your disposal. Start the life you have always dreamed about, build beautiful with the team at CDBL
