"We understand that choosing who you work with when building or renovating is a huge decision, so thanks for checking us out.

As Kiwis, we find it hard to blow our own trumpet, but we’ve been producing award-winning joinery in Taupo for over 30 years, so we must be doing something right! Whether you’re creating something new, renovating, or simply giving your kitchen a facelift, we’ll expertly design and build something beautiful with you. We’re the only joiner and manufacturer in Taupо with a kitchen designer qualification, so we’re with you – from conceptual design and planning, right through to construction and installation. To ensure our designs are always accurately represented, we produce, manufacture and install our own joinery."

Our Story

SMJ designs and builds all types of joinery to top quality standards in Taupo, New Zealand.

Whether its kitchens, bathroom vanities, wardrobe organisers or furniture, we pride ourselves on our attention to detail, focusing on each individual project with a high level of professionalism. We achieve excellence consistently and provide timely, efficient, neat and clean finish services.

At SMJ, we understand how important getting your design ‘just right’ can be. That is why we have developed our DESIGN SERVICE to give you the peace of mind that with a little hard work and thought up front, your dream really can come alive with the minimum of fuss.

Ensuring the ongoing satisfaction with the products and service our clients receive is an absolute priority for SMJ. 

SMJ believes in supporting local businesses and where ever possible we use our professional skills to help support sporting clubs, schools and the general community. SMJ is committed to our work, customers and our community.

SMJ is proud to be a member of the Registered Master Joiners Association. We have won the Waikato/Bay of Plenty Regional award for ‘Best Kitchen’ and regularly feature as a finalist at the Master Joiners annual awards.

We are also a member of the National Kitchen and Bathroom Association. Stu is on the National Advisory Group committee, working with the BCITO (building /construction industry training organisation) for the future pathways in Kitchen and Bathroom Design qualifications.

Stu is also a member of the Certified Designers Society. 

Over the years Stu Martin Joinery has formed strong relationships with experienced local contractors, so we can recommend and organise builders, electricians and plumbers to help with the installation process.

Our Design Process

At SMJ, we understand how important getting your design just right can be. Ensuring that each step is perfectly coordinated will help make it a stress-free process with a satisfying outcome. That’s why we have developed our design and quotation service to give you the peace of mind – with a bit of hard work and thought up front, your dream will really come to life.

INITIAL CONSULTATION

If you’re building a new home, make a time to come and visit us at our showroom with a set of your plans. If you’re renovating your existing home, we’ll confirm an appointment to meet you at your home to get an understanding and feel of the space we’ll be working with. We look closely at all your ideas, wants and needs during the consultation before creating a concept drawing.

CONCEPT DRAWINGS

On the completion of your concept drawing, we’ll contact you to make an appointment to go over your design. This where we really drill down to the little details. We discuss any changes you might want to make and answer any other questions you have. We can also indicate a price range for you.

REFINING & QUOTING

When everything’s just right and we’ve finalised the design of your project, we’ll meet with you to discuss the detailed quotation and costs.

CONFIRMATION

When everything’s confirmed, and we’ve received a deposit, we’ll host you in our showroom to go through the detailed plans and quote and tweak any last-minute details. If you’re not quite ready to proceed, but would like a full set of detailed plans, then an initial fee of $400 is payable for these. Any further changes to your plans after the fine tuning will be charged out at an hourly rate.

THE BUILD BEGINS!

You get to see your vision come to life. To ensure our designs are always accurately represented, we produce, manufacture and install our own joinery. We’ll be on site ensuring everything goes smoothly. And when it’s all finished, it doesn’t end there – the aftercare of your kitchen or joinery project is very important to us. If you have any questions, get in touch and we’ll be happy to provide any necessary advice.
