Most Homeowners Face the Same Renovation Nightmare...

You've been dreaming about this renovation for years. More space for your growing family. A kitchen where everyone gathers. An extension that finally gives you the home office you need.

But you've heard the horror stories:

• Builders who disappear mid-project or don't return calls

• "Finished" work that's obviously rushed or poorly done

• Budget blowouts with no explanation

• Timeline promises that mean nothing

• Being treated like just another job number

You deserve better.

Your home is your biggest investment. Your renovation shouldn't feel like a gamble.

​

We Get It. Because We've Seen It Too.

For over 15 years, Manny and the BenAv Build team have been fixing the building industry's reputation—one family at a time.

We started BenAv Build because we were tired of hearing friends and family share their renovation horror stories. We knew there was a better way to build: putting integrity, communication, and your needs first.

Our Promise to You:

• Licensed Building Practitioner (LBP) and NZCB member

• Clear communication from day one to completion

• No surprises, no shortcuts, no excuses

• Your project treated like it's our own home

"Manny maintained open lines of communication throughout the project, promptly addressing any concerns... This level of transparency fostered a collaborative environment." — Erica & Mosh Architecture
