Building dreams to reality

Clients often worry about budget, delays, and disruption starting a renovation or building project. But it doesn't have to be that way. Imagine staying informed, with your home treated respectfully, and no budget surprises.

At Zen Builders, our team helps busy people bring their building dreams to reality by managing their projects and constructing them. This means that our clients spend less time worrying and more time doing the things they enjoy, leaving project management and building up to us.

Ziggy Conroy - Zen Builder

Connection & Communication

Our team is led by Ziggy Conroy, who a few years ago, saw a real need for client connection and clearer communication in the construction industry. He started Zen Builders with this as his focus - creating long term relationships with clients who were building or renovating their dream homes through open communication and transparency.


It’s hard for us to put into words how we feel when we help our clients renovate or build their dream homes. When we drive through the suburbs of Christchurch and reminisce on past projects, we feel a huge sense of accomplishment and pride, knowing that we had an impact on people's lives. It doesn’t matter if the project was large or small, we know that the home is now a better place to live in.

  • “Holy moly, we absolutely love the renovations Zen completed for us. They walked us through the whole process making it less scary and exciting. They went above and beyond cleaning at the end of the day (better than how our house normally looks). After the renovations were completed they made sure to answer any questions! We had some plans and they made them come to life and practical.”
