Our Team

Matt Scott

Qualifiied builder

Hey, I've worked for Gareth and Tania for a combined 6 1/2 years. I've recently returned from a year working on high end renovations in Chelsea, London. The high quality of work that Gareth and our team strive for is something that I'm proud of. In my spare time I love anything outdoors, being from the football field, to the sea and up the mountain.

Jaron Doyle

Qualified builder

Hey, I have been working for Gareth and Tania since 2012. I completed my apprenticeship learning from Gareth and really enjoyed the process. In my spare time I enjoy fishing, playing sport and enjoying a cold one with the boys.

Blake Aylward

3rd year apprentice

Hello, I have worked for Gareth Collins Building for 3 years now and thoroughly enjoy working with the team that provides outstanding high standards in the houses we build. I am currently completing my building apprenticeship. I chose to enter building after finishing farming as I wanted to access the skills of carpentry and reach my long term goals. The apprenticship has exceeded my expectations thus far and it's great working alongside Gareth and the team.

Scott Chadwick

3rd year apprentice

Hi, I am currently working towards becoming a qualified carpenter in 2019. Throughout my time I have enjoyed the variety of work, being able to work with my hands and getting one of the biggest rewards out of it. Working with Gareth Collins and the team has been a great experience that I'm very thankful for. I am also a keen hunter who loves being out in nature with my dogs.

Mark Bryan

I have been working for Gareth for two years now, and completing my apprenticeship. I really enjoy building and love working with the Gareth Collins crew. When I'm not at work, I like to go fishing, surfing, snowboarding, skate boarding and love having a few cold ones with the boys.

Fletcher Burnett

2nd year apprentice

Hi, over the past 18 months I have been having a sick time working with Gareth and his crew, picking up valuable skills along the way. When I'm not at work I enjoy getting onto the rugby field, going for a hunt or a dive, and having a brew with the boys.

Jordan Roylance

Hello, I've been with Gareth nearly a year now and am really enjoying working with and learning from Gareth and the boys, and I have recently started my apprenticeship with BCITO. I educated at Francis Douglas Memorial College, where found my passion for building and rugby.I am part of the Taranaki rugby academy, which is helping me to get where I want to be rugby wise.

Tom Conway

Hi, I'm a first year apprentice with Gareth and have been working here 8 months. I finished school at FDMC in 2018 and started building later that year.

Jeff and Laurice Testimonial

We found Gareth and Tania very good to work and communicate with and they completed the work very professionally and punctual. They showed perfection and skill in everything they undertook. Gareth took no shortcuts and had great skills in his building and Tania complemented this with her expertise in working with us in choosing all our decor, carpets, appliances etc. Nothing was too much trouble for the both of them. We would highly recommend Gareth and Tania if you are considering them to undertake work for you. Job well done and we are extremely happy with our house.

Brenda Meulekamp Testimonial

When planning my bathroom renovation, I found both Gareth and Tania, very pleasant and easy to deal with. They offered plenty of ideas on the design and products to use. The written quote showed me the details on all aspects of the renovation with an expected start time. I was pleased with their approach and loved the fact that all my questions and changes were catered for. Plus they checked in with me before they started to make sure everything was OK to start. Thank you so much for a job well done. Love the bathroom. I am now looking forward to the next job.

Lisa Tamati Testimonial

When you are on your own and you aren't exactly a handy person, budgets are tight and you have no idea where to start. You need a team you can trust. Gareth Collins and Tania Faloon are that team. Not only did they build my house on time and on budget but they held my hand through the whole process from helping me finding a section, and checking it was ok to build on, to hooking me up with the right people at the bank and advising me on the whole getting a mortgage process and phases of a build. They put up with endless dumb questions and Tania even helped me with the interior decorating decisions. Helping me make my home funky, modern and extremely affordable. I have known these guys for years and know them to be extremely trustworthy, reliable, and the type of people who always go beyond the call of duty and understand that this is probably the biggest investment you will ever make so they are always just a call away. lisa@lisatamati.co.nz www.lisatamati.co.nz

Neil and Gillian Maulder Testimonial

Gareth & Tania provided a very professional approach to quoting and providing a contract that fulfilled our requirements, which through the seven month build delivered on all aspects, price, time, quality and very important to us, the Master Build Guarantee. We have been in the house now for eighteen months and as every day goes by we pinch ourselves at how lucky we are. The building process was enjoyable and we were able to actively share in the creation of our wonderful home. We can honestly and thoroughly recommend Gareth and Tania to anyone wanting an expert and friendly team. Neil & Gillian

Jo Donnelly Testimonial

From the moment I first met Gareth and Tania, I knew they were the ones that were going to build my home! I had been looking for some time but it wasn’t till I meet them that I felt I had found a company that I felt comfortable with. The open and honest feeling i got from them sealed the deal. During the build, if ever I was thinking of up-grading, say, on tapware etc, they would remind me of my budget. It was never a problem to tweak the plans, if it was possible. I often had people say it must be hard building a home by myself. My answer was it’s easy... Gareth and Tania made it that way! I actually enjoyed the process, it was exciting not daunting. I visited the site most days and always felt welcome. If ever I was to build again, Gareth and Tania would be who I would turn to first.

Dawson Tamati Testimonial

I went to Bali for a few months, when my house had just got it’s roof on, and when I came home it was all finished !! I trusted Gareths workmanship and Tarn chose all the colours and products and it has turned out great. I am in the building industry myself as a roofer and have dealt with most builders in town at some stage, Tarn and Gareth stand head and shoulders above any other building company in town for me, they were amazing and even came in under budget, they will definitely be building my next house. The cherry on top was when they entered my house in the Master Builders house of the year awards and it won a gold award and was the category winner. I was super proud!

Richard and Jenny Doherty Testimonial

Right from the start we knew Gareth was the right choice to build our new home. The professional way he and Tania explained exactly what was covered in the contract price, the expected time lines and options to upgrade certain products, gave us the confidence to accept his competitive quote. On the job Gareth and his team ensured the highest quality in construction and finish. His employees will have benefitted greatly for their future careers from Gareth’s tuition and attention to detail. Gareth is a forward thinker and offered his advise when he thought things could be done a little better than specified. The way Gareth managed the sub-contractors, especially towards the end when our home resembled an anthill, was impressive - the man is unflappable. We will certainly recommend Gareth Collins Building, They have a fantastic crew, there are no problems only solutions...and they appreciate a fresh cheese scone. Jenny and Richard Doherty 436 Devon Street West New Plymouth

Mike and Lynda Reid Testimonial

"We researched the building industry for a while and Gareth's name came up repeatedly. We met and found from there it was an a obvious choice to build with him. Gareth and Tania were honest from the initial meeting. They were open to helping us save where we could without compromising the integrity of the design. To be living in a home with memories of a successful building process and a fantastic outcome is a reward in itself. Between Gareth, Tania, their team and their sub-contractors we feel we have had a home built by the best in the the industry"

Graham and Cheryl Coombe Testimonial

Gareth, Tania and team built our lovely home to our high expectations. Gareth needed to take a short time out for an operation and their team carried on with the quality work to have us in our home as soon as possible. We found this process easy with all the team. Accessibility, co-operation and high standards were outstanding before, during and on completion of our beautiful home. Sincere and heartfelt 'Thanks" to everyone.
