New Builds

Gray Brothers focus on architecturally designed new homes in central Dunedin (and anything within about 30 minutes of the CBD). Our team will take care of every aspect of your project to ensure a smooth and stress-free experience throughout the build.

Renovations

If you are considering getting more space from your current home instead of purchasing a new one, Gray Brothers can help. Our expert team will help you transform your old home into a new, more efficient and beautifully designed space to suit your changing needs.

Light Commercial

Gray Brothers’ team can assist with commercial building renovations and earthquake strengthening works. Get in contact with Mark or Paul to discuss your project or to enquire about past projects we completed in these areas.

WHO ARE WE?

Mark Ward & Paul McBeath

Managing Directors

Hi, we are Paul McBeath and Mark Ward. We have been the Co-Owners and Directors of Gray Brothers Builders of Dunedin since 2013 when we realised that by working together, we could continue the legacy of the Dunedin architecture community.

 

We shared a passion for building Dunedin’s finest homes and for bringing young Dunedin builders into the trade. We wanted to pass on the traditional skills and strong work ethic that has made Dunedin the centre of excellence for fine designer homes.

At Gray Brothers, everything we do is focused on our passion for top quality craftsmanship. Award-winning quality is in our DNA, which is why we use our 287-point Gray Brothers quality checklist throughout your build.

Mike & Ali

"In 2004 we contracted Mark Ward and his company, Gray Brothers Builders to carry out a major renovation of the kitchen and living area of our home.

Mark communicated with us regularly about progress and decisions we needed to make. This meant that any over-runs in time and variations in price were advised early. The variations in time and cost were mainly down to the age of the house and decisions made once building begun.

Mark worked very well with the architect, and consulted him whenever there was a query about any part of the plan. Mark also co- coordinated the subcontractors effectively.

Gray Brothers Builders worked to a high standard and our renovations are still looking superb after more than 5 years. The builders were pleasant and thoughtful to have in a home environment."

Neville & Julie

"Our house on Tolcarne Avenue embarked on an eight month journey to expand, modernize and reconfigure the living areas to allow flow for outdoor living while still maintaining the period of the house. Choosing the right builder to undertake this renovation was paramount in the transformation of our home.

Without doubt and hesitation, we would recommend Gray Brothers Builders to discerning clients who demands excellent workmanship and superior finishing."
