REGISTERED MASTER BUILDERS BASED IN WANAKA
McFarlane Building create superior architectural homes formed through their commitment to collaboration. It takes a team to build a house and positive working relationships and streamlined scheduling are at the heart of that.

Would we recommend McFarlane Building ? Yes, 100%.Never having built our own home before, we were somewhat anxious, nervous and excited. McFarlane Builders were the dream team. They had a great attitude, ability, meticulous attention to detail and are were very capable at problem solvers. They had a relentless work ethic and we were very happy to be guided by their suggestions along the way.
Not only did they show excellent craftsmanship in themselves, but they also attracted very good sub-contractors.
McFarlane Builders were a pleasure to work with, they take great pride in their work and we are very proud of the beautiful new home they have created for us. We love everything about our build and the fact that they have made it such a great journey.
During our recent renovation, prior to selling we employed the service of McFarlane Building to completely revamp the interior of our home. I found the team great to deal with, incredibly hard working and knowledgeable. They were responsive to all our enquires and happy to accommodate changes along the way, always responding in a prompt and professional manner. It was great dealing with a company that treated you as a person rather than a number.They worked the job on a Charge Up Schedule basis, whilst still providing a detailed estimate prior. This was a major selling point for us as further margins didn’t need to be added to cover for unexpected issues along the way, we were simply charged for the work they did and trust me when I say they didn’t muck around. Highly recommended.
We would recommend McFarlane Building without hesitation. Beanie and his team built our new home and they completed a quality job in a timely manner.Beanie and his team have an eye for detail and finishing as well as the ability to manage the project smoothly. Beanie’s communication was excellent throughout the build. He was well organised, including his organisation of tradies, his knowledge of building materials, suggestions, updates, and keeping in check with timeframes. Nothing seemed to difficult. The follow up afterwards when we have requested extra work and small adjustments has not been a problem. We are delighted with our new home, thanks to Beanie and his team.
McFarlane Building made the process of building our first home an enjoyable and successful endeavour. Beanie held our hands and walked us through the difficult bits, stood back when we wanted to take the reins, and made gentle and helpful suggestions when he could see us heading in the wrong direction.Having seen McFarlane Building’s previous work, I knew the standard was high, however I had not expected to be able to leave so many decisions to Beanie. Sometimes there were infinite options and I hadn’t a clue so I asked Beanie to do what he thought best. He made considered decisions every time and was always mindful of our budget. We are delighted with our new home and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend McFarlane Building to anyone thinking of building.
We have employed McFarlane Building for various projects from small renovations, fly in/fly out work around Minaret Station to four start to finish home builds (including our own home). Beanie worked with us from concept through to council sign off in each case. Early engagement meant that we received plenty of hands on advice surrounding the building practicalities of each project, including material options, design aesthetic suggestions and their associated costs. His input over the years has added unsurpassable value to each building project undertaken.The team he has on-board are thorough, detail driven and personable. I would certainly recommend Beanie as a project manager on any new home, renovation or related building service. We will continue to use him and his team now and in the future.
