Hi I’m Chris and I followed my passion from a young age and became a qualified carpenter in 2000 and have well over 20 years of experience in the Building industry. I have also worked as a project manager for bigger residential building companies, this really gave me a balanced perspective of how the whole building process works and how client satisfaction is top priority.
I set up Chris De Lury Builders with the intention to build quality; when you do it right the first time you save time and money in the long run. I really enjoy working with my team and can honestly everyone gives their 100%.
I look forward to meeting with you onsite or off to discuss any future projects you have in mind. In my spare time I love Mountain biking, Four wheel driving and going for treks up Mt Thomas and Grey with the family.

Hi I’m Liam, my interests and hobbies are cars and building. I worked as a car detailer for two years and then decided to follow my passion and start a building apprenticeship.
I’m currently ten months through my apprenticeship and loving it, I enjoy fitting hardware and seeing the end product that we built. I love learning new skills and using them outside of work. In my spare time I enjoy working on my cars and being in the outdoors.
