why build with us

we are
straight up

You don’t brand your company Straight Up if you aren’t prepared to front up and deliver the goods.

From the first meeting to the day we sign off compliance (and beyond), our promise is you’ll experience honesty, integrity and a straight answer all the way.

Based in Tauranga, Bay of Plenty, Straight Up Builders are led by a team of energetic, hardworking and dependable builders that take their dedication to building quality homes and integrate a culture of good ethics, people and craftsmanship.

Owner and expert builder Garret Jones is a trusted foreman but not a front man.  Garret fosters a great culture and a passion for sound construction with his team.  Empowering the crew with

industry skills and experience, you can have the conviction and confidence in them to build your dream home.

Onsite, they work hard but when its tools down, the fun-loving crew can be found bonding over a BBQ or competing for the prized title of catch of the day on a team fishing trip.

We understand that for many people, building their dream home can be stressful.  It also can be extremely rewarding.  Straight Up Builders are here to guide you through the process, celebrating the highlights and minimising the stress that is within our control.
