What We Do

Our approach

We build healthy, high-performing homes using natural materials, for families who live on Waiheke year round. Hempcrete walls, sheep's wool insulation, lime and clay plaster, and native New Zealand timber. Materials that breathe, hold their warmth, and keep the air inside your home clean.

Every project runs to a true fixed price, agreed in writing before we start, so the number you sign is the number you pay. We investigate the unknowns during planning, not halfway through the build. One point of contact, a clear programme, and a tidy site. Calm, professionally managed projects, built to last generations.

Client stories

What our clients say


Our clients' satisfaction speaks volumes. See how MJones Building transforms homes and exceeds expectations across Waiheke Island.

I highly recommend Matt and his team to anyone looking to have work done on their property. Matt is a great lad, honest, reliable, hardworking, and clearly passionate about his craft. It is rare to find builders these days who are both skilled and trustworthy, but Matt and his team absolutely delivered. Would happily work with them again in the future.

I cannot recommend MJones Building enough. The level of care and attention to detail in his work is honestly impressive. No matter the size of the job, he puts real effort into making sure everything is done properly and to a high standard. On top of that, he is just a genuinely great guy to deal with. Super trustworthy, easy to communicate with, and always friendly and kind. If you are looking for someone who actually takes pride in what they build, you are in very good hands here.

Super happy with our new deck. He listened to what we wanted, shared some great ideas, and helped us come up with a design that worked for our space and budget. Easy to deal with, great communication, and quality workmanship. Would definitely recommend.

How We Work

Our process


From consultation to handover, every step is guided with clarity and care. No surprises, just a smooth path to your finished home.

Step One

Initial consultation

We begin with a detailed site visit to understand your goals, budget, and expectations. This is where we assess feasibility, identify potential risks early, and ensure your renovation or new build is set up properly from the start.

Step Two

Preliminary agreement

Before committing to a full contract, we formalise the planning process with a preliminary agreement. This ensures all groundwork is properly organised, the process is structured, and both parties are aligned before moving into pricing.

Step Three

Planning & scope

We break your project into clearly defined stages, outlining materials, timelines, and specifications in detail. Every decision is documented to reduce uncertainty and prevent costly surprises later.

Step Four

Fixed-price proposal & contract

You receive a detailed fixed-price proposal, so you know exactly what's included before work starts. We walk you through the contract transparently, no hidden costs, no ambiguity. Once approved, we lock in your schedule.

Step Five

Build phase

Your project is professionally managed with clear communication, organised subtrade coordination, and efficient scheduling. We provide regular updates throughout, keeping you informed every step of the way.

Step Six

Handover

We complete your project to a high standard and walk you through every detail, ensuring everything meets expectations so you can enjoy your home with full confidence.
