So Who Is Ian Finlay?
He has built and sold 7 homes, but today he prefers to work on projects that involve putting up or tearing down commercial structures. The more challenging the job, the more appealing her finds it!
Having being raised on a farm with 6 siblings and expected to work the property, doing everything from fencing, milking, and haymaking before and after school he quickly acquired the ability at a very young age to "fix anything". That means today he is equally comfortable rebuilding a cake mixer or a truck.
In recent years Ian has concentrated on large commercial demolition jobs around Whangarei. One job involved dropping 8 old buildings on a block, each of which contained asbestos. This created all sorts of challenges, but figuring out how to do the tough jobs is what he is good at.
Additionally he has completed several project management gigs which he also enjoys.

Construction Case Studies
After removing an old house from a large section Ian then built three townhouses on it (two of which are visible).
This complex was originally built to house a fitness facility a decade earlier. The building was later dismantled
(steel structure, roofing, windows), sold, and shipped to Samoa to make a supermarket. Then a new two-level building was built to host a
law firm and additional tenancies.
Building on a sloping site is challenging. This site had to be excavated and a huge retaining wall added before
the structure above it could be built.
In order for a car wash business to operate a storm water drainage system needed to be put in place. Before
this could be done tar seal had to be removed and the site excavated.
Demolition Work
Knocking things down can be fun. But it's also a serious job that needs to be executed the right way to ensure it can be done safely, efficiently and cost effectively.
And all you are left with is a clean, clear site ready for your next phase.
