About us

Two local builders. One straight promise.

No subcontracted project managers, no overseas sales team. The builder who quotes your job runs it.

WHO YOU WORK WITH

Two local builders. 24 years on the tools.

Shaun and Jarvis founded R2 to build the kind of homes they would live in themselves. Both grew up in the Waikato, both went through the trade the long way, both still wear the boots every day.

You will not be handed off to a project manager you have never met. The builder who quoted your job is the builder who runs it. That is the whole point.

5.0 / 5 from 12 on Google
Shaun and Jarvis built our family home in 2023 and we could not be happier. Every detail was thought through and they explained every decision along the way.
The Whitfields
We had a tight budget and a complicated section. R2 came back with a realistic plan and stuck to every number. Highly recommend.
M. Henderson
Did a full kitchen and bathroom reno while we were still living in the house. They worked around us, no fuss, finished on time.
S. Tairoa
Best decision was picking these guys for our subdivision project. Pragmatic, organised, ran the whole job without us needing to chase.
Highgrove Developments
I have built three homes in my life. This was easily the smoothest experience. R2 just gets it.
D. Browne
Quality of finish is way above what we paid for. You can tell they care about every join, every cabinet, every line.
