Kia Ora, Jesse here!
With a decade and a half of experience as a qualified builder, my journey began renovating character villas for the majority of my apprenticeship. Since then, I’ve worked across the full spectrum of construction - from large-scale commercial sites building 20 units at a time, to the fine detail of high-end, multimillion-dollar architectural homes.
Now settled in Hawke’s Bay with my wife Zarah, I founded Zenbuild — a licensed building company grounded in craftsmanship, integrity, and a passion for building healthy homes. We deliver high-quality residential construction and architectural homes across Napier, Havelock North, Te Awanga, Haumoana, Waimārama, Ocean Beach and the wider Hawke’s Bay region.
We focus on supporting local businesses and using natural, sustainable materials wherever possible, creating thoughtfully built spaces that nourish the people who live in them and the communities they’re part of.
