Crate
Builders
About us
We are professional qualified builders of architectural homes and shop fits-outs.
Crate was established in 2013 by brothers James Strachan and Fraser Strachan after 20+ years experience building in New Zealand and overseas.
We provide detailed, accurate job costings and pride ourselves on adherence to your budget, working closely with your architect and suppliers.
Our projects range from residential new homes, residential additions and alterations, working with heritage or new buildings as well as light commercial, shop fit outs, furniture and cabinet making.
The Crate workshop in Kingsland gives us the ability to fabricate and prefabricate parts of the build off-site. The high stud warehouse enables an entire house to be prefabricated or elements including framing, steel fabrication, joinery and cabinetry.
We have a passion for building and work to a high standard that we hold everyone at Crate to work to. We have experience in a wide range of construction techniques and we love doing things that are different and challenging, pushing the boundaries and trying new things.

The Process
Step 1
Crate works with your architect or draftsman at the beginning of the process before plans are drawn up, so we can help you achieve everything you want, within your budget. We advise the best materials and processes and input to the plans to help make your project a success. We provide an initial estimate from the first plans, and a full detailed quote once plans are finalised. Upon approval, we order materials and book suppliers and contractors.
Step 2
We operate as the head contractor using a broad range of suppliers. We manage the project and suppliers from start to finish so you receive one invoice and none of the hassle of finding the right people and materials. This guarantees quality workmanship and adherence to Crate's high standards. However, we are happy to work with your preferred suppliers and materials if this is what you desire.
Step 3
You'll be assigned a site foreman and one of the Directors of Crate will be there every step of the way. Crate has a team of highly skilled builders to ensure deadlines are met and work is to a very high standard.
