Faulkner Construction: Where Excellence Meets Mentorship

In the world of construction, few things are as rewarding as seeing a dream transform into a tangible reality. For Faulkner Construction, this has been a way of life since 1981.


Operating out of Auckland and Tauranga, the Faulkner team is not just known for taking on the "tough jobs" that other builders might shy away from; we are also celebrated as one of the most decorated Master Builders in New Zealand. But what truly sets us apart is our commitment to nurturing young talent, the future of the construction industry.

Last month, the Auckland and Northern Regional Apprentice of the Year Awards took place, and it was a night of celebration and achievement. Among the outstanding individuals recognised, Faulkner Construction apprentice Jack Nevines stood tall as he clinched the Auckland Regional Apprentice of the Year title.


Jack, employed by Faulkner Construction and trained through BCITO, a business division of Te Pūkenga, showcased exemplary dedication and skill. This victory was not just a personal milestone but also a testament to the culture of excellence and mentorship at Faulkner Construction.

At Faulkner Construction, building award-winning homes isn't our only goal. We are equally passionate about nurturing award-winning builders. The journey to excellence begins with identifying and unleashing the potential of young building apprentices.

A Legacy of Excellence

At Faulkner Construction our legacy of excellence speaks for itself. Our multiple Master Builder House of The Year awards are a testament to the quality of our craftsmanship. With two Auckland overall award winners, a National Outdoor Living Award, five Gold Reserve Awards, nine Gold Awards, three Silver Awards, and one Bronze Award under their belt, we consistently set the bar high in the construction industry.

However, what truly distinguishes Faulkner Construction is our commitment to developing the next generation of builders. We recognize that the construction industry's future rests in the hands of today's apprentices, and we spare no effort in guiding them toward success.


Unleashing Potential

The key to our success in unleashing potential lies in our holistic approach to mentorship. We believe instilling values, work ethic, and a sense of pride in one's work is as important as teaching technical skills.

Jack Nevines' journey from apprentice to the Auckland Regional Apprentice of the Year is a shining example. He was not only taught how to build structures but also how to build a career in construction. Faulkner Construction provided him with the tools, opportunities, and support needed to thrive in this demanding industry.

Creating a model for the industry


Faulkner Construction's commitment to unleashing the potential in our team, especially young building apprentices, is a model for the industry. Our legacy of excellence and mentorship is about constructing award-winning homes, as well as award-winning careers. Jack Nevines' success is a testament to the nurturing environment fostered by Faulkner Construction.

As the construction industry evolves, we believe it's crucial to continue to mentor and guide the next generation of builders. In doing so, we can ensure that the future of the industry is built on a foundation of skill, passion, and unwavering commitment to excellence.


Congratulations to Jack Nevines, and kudos to all our team for their dedication to unleashing the full potential of everyone around them, and the industry as a whole.
