The BenAv Build Story: Why We Do Things Differently

It Started With Frustration

After 15 years working in the building industry, Manny had heard enough horror stories. Friends and family kept sharing the same frustrations: builders who wouldn't communicate, projects that dragged on forever, "finished" work that looked rushed, promises that meant nothing.

He knew the industry could do better. Should do better.

So in 2016, BenAv Build was born—not just as another building company, but as a commitment to change how Auckland families experience renovations and extensions.

​

Building Homes. Building Trust.

At BenAv Build, we believe your renovation should be exciting, not exhausting.

That means:

Integrity First We see problems as opportunities for creative solutions—not reasons to cut corners or inflate prices. Every decision is made as if this were our own home.

Communication That Works You'll never wonder what's happening. Regular updates, prompt responses, and honest conversations are standard, not special.

Quality Without Compromise As carpenters by trade with over 15 years of experience, we bring a craftsman's eye to every detail. If it's not right, we make it right.

Your Needs, Your Timeline We work quickly and effectively because we respect your time. But we never sacrifice quality for speed.

​

The Team Approach

A Family Business with Professional Standards

We're a family-run business on Auckland's North Shore, which means:

• You work directly with decision-makers (no layers of bureaucracy)

• We're invested in our local reputation (your neighbors might be our next clients)

• We build relationships, not just structures

• We care about the result as much as you do

But we also maintain professional standards, proper licensing, full insurance, and clear contracts—because family business doesn't mean casual approach.

Who We Work With:

Homeowners who value quality and communication over rock-bottom pricing Families who want their renovation done right, not just done fast Architects & Designers who need a builder they can rely on to execute their vision Property Owners who see their renovation as an investment in their home's value and their family's lifestyle
