Master Builders

A glowing recommendation, a trusted name, and a meeting with Chris Sinclair gave David and Tina confidence that Sinclair Builders were the right team for their renovation. 🏠✨

One of the highlights of their finished home was the new kitchen and living area, now transformed into one bright, welcoming space.

“Our favourite part of the house is the new kitchen and living area. What was once three small rooms separated by a corridor is now one open, sunlit space. A standout feature is the original Rimu timber ceiling from the old dining room, which adds a wonderful sense of space while honouring the home’s original craftsmanship.” ☀️🪵

Equally valuable was the guidance Sinclair Builders brought to every stage of the journey. With the added confidence of working with a Master Builder, David and Tina were able to trust the process and achieve a result that far exceeded their expectations.

“We knew nothing about building, or the earthquake repair and insurance process, but Chris gave us great advice and helped transform the house into something we never imagined. Working with a Master Builder gave us added reassurance.” 👏🔨

🏆An outstanding achievement for LT McGuinness Ltd and their project team, who won the Supreme Award over $10 million for the second year running at the 2026 Commercial Project Awards, this time for Te Matapihi ki te Ao Nui, Wellington Central Library.

The team’s accolades don’t stop there, also winning the Commercial Project over $25 million Value Award and Civic Project Category Award. 👏

A much-loved civic landmark, Te Matapihi ki te Ao Nui called for extraordinary care, precision, and technical expertise. With the entire library closely held in place, the team carried out major strengthening works beneath the building, taking on one of the toughest projects of its kind in New Zealand.

Rather than demolishing and starting again, the team strengthened and renewed the building, preserving an important part of Wellington’s civic landscape while reducing waste. The project also achieved a 5 Star Green Star rating, reflecting its strong sustainability outcomes. 🌿

Delivered on time and on budget, Te Matapihi ki te Ao Nui is a standout example of collaboration, innovation, and calm ex*****on under pressure. A fantastic result for LT McGuinness Wellington and everyone involved. ✨
