Born, raised and trained in England before taking the leap to emigrate half-way across the world with my wife and 3 children finding ourselves a spot in sunny Nelson. Since 2002 we have been proud to call this place home.
With 41 years in the building trade, I sometimes kid myself that there is little I haven’t already seen. That said I still love the challenge presented by every new enquiry – getting to know the customer and what it is they want to achieve and putting together a plan to make it happen still excites me.
After a few years working in the business for Peter I grabbed the chance to purchase the business when Peter chose to retire in 2021. We operate throughout the Nelson and Tasman region and look forward to talking to you about your next project.
Across Marlborough, we have carried out hundreds of home extensions and additions where people needed more space or wanted to take advantage of views.
See how the Nelson team turned a 1960s two-bedroom weatherboard home with a single garage, into a much bigger three bedrooms with a master ensuite, sprawling living spaces, a new double garage, enhanced living spaces and broad Tasman Bay views. This project shows how old homes can be revived with the right advice and an expert team of builders.
At Pzazz Building, we do more bathroom renovations than any other room. No wonder we have become experts in bathroom design and renovation around Nelson.

Bathrooms are no longer cold, functional places. They have evolved into stylish, warm and comfortable refuges which reflect your taste and provide a welcome retreat from the cares of everyday living.
If a new bathroom is on your mind and you are looking for an expert local team to take care of everything, then contact the Pzazz Nelson Building team.
Like any successful kitchen renovation project, the 80/20 rule applies - that is 80% planning and 20% doing. So the place to start is a kitchen / dining / living design that meets the needs of your family, both today and for the duration of your stay.
Across Nelson from Richmond, through the central city and across to Hira, we have carried out hundreds of building projects where people needed more space, or wanted to take advantage of the great views Nelson has to offer by going up.
We work closely with you to create a great ceiling loft or second storey design, then provide all the resources required including working drawings, obtaining any necessary building consents and then the building team and expert sub-contractors to let you benefit.
There are many open plan design options such as kitchen/dining, dining/lounge and lounge/semi-outdoor spaces to name but a few.
And of course with today’s excellent range of products and surface finishes, the options are endless to create new living spaces that everyone will enjoy and that will add value to your home.
The growth of informal el fresco dining, open plan living, an array of barbeques and fabulous outdoor cooking apparatus has spelled the end of the days when a deck was just a tiny and pretty much unusable timber balcony.
Or has it? If you're still suffering from poor indoor-outdoor flow and limited space to fully enjoy the great outdoors, we can open up your lifestyle to a whole new range of possibilities – not only with decks and paved areas but also fences, gazebos, barbeques, firepits, retaining walls, pergolas, conservatories and landscaping.
First impressions count – what does your house cladding say?
A tired or decaying exterior cladding can not only devalue the visual impact of your property, it can also contribute to the deterioration of the house’s structural timbers and interior living environment. Doing nothing now will invariably lead to expensive repairs later on.
When it comes to building a new home, at Pzazz Building we believe in starting with a clean sheet of paper and designing a house around you and your family's personality, living style and changing needs.
We understand the importance of designing a functional living space you can call home for many years to come.
