About Us
Buchanan Construction is Built on Word of Mouth, Backed by Years of Experience
In 2010, Buchanan Construction was born from a simple yet powerful foundation: word of mouth and customer recommendations.
Founder and business owner, Tony Buchanan, a seasoned Qualified Building Practitioner, decided to venture out on his own after years of experience in the New Zealand construction industry, providing quality home construction using home plans that can be customised to your needs and desires.
Tony puts the business’s success down to great workmanship and simple, straightforward communication.
Customer satisfaction is paramount to Buchanan Construction and we are not satisfied until we’ve achieved your home vision.

Our Completed Renovations, New Builds and Recladding Projects

"We used Buchanan Construction to completely reclad our 2-storey home, install new double-glazed joinery, replace decking, carry out internal renovations and reconstruct internal and external stairs. Tony and his team were always very professional, efficient and productive."

"Having extremely high standards and expectations, Buchanan Construction not only met but exceeded these with quality workmanship, care and responsibility. Tony’s effective communication ensured everyone was kept well-informed and involved throughout and his recommendations and management."
"Tony did a major renovation on a difficult site for me. The whole process was fun, and we couldn't be happier with the outcome, which is largely due to Tony's attention to detail, diligence and the fact that he is a down to earth nice guy who is easy to get on with. I fully recommend Tony and am happy to provide verbal references."
"Tony has been my go-to builder for several years now. Being a tradesman myself I look for high quality workmanship and honest pricing. Tony takes ownership of the project from start to finish, he is easy to communicate with, and his team are easy to have around. I highly recommend Buchanan Renovations."
