Our mission is to lead the way in energy efficient, eco home building in Raglan and across the Waikato region. MEET THE DIRECTOR TOBY
I grew up on a farm near Pio Pio, a small town in the King Country. Growing up rurally instilled a hard work ethic in me and also taught me a large range of practical skills. Spending a lot of time in the bush as a kid saw me develop a close affinity to, and respect for, New Zealand’s beautiful natural environment.
In 2002, keen for some adventure, I headed overseas, where I spent seven years working as a project manager on fencing contracts in Australia and the UK. After meeting my Scottish wife, Cat, in the UK, we decided to move back to New Zealand to take on a new challenge. I was keen to upskill and learn a new trade that would put my practical skills and project management experience to good use. I embarked on a building apprenticeship and took on various roles as a foreman. I also became a Licensed Building Practitioner. We started Craft Homes Ltd in 2015 to further develop my passion for building sustainable homes with the highest quality workmanship and have since moved the business to Raglan in the Waikato.
