About Precision Builders Otago
Precision Builders Otago is a team of experienced home builders Otago homeowners have trusted delivering licensed renovations, extensions, and new builds across Dunedin, Mosgiel, Milton, Balclutha, and greater Otago.
We are not the largest building company in Dunedin. We are the most accountable. We are the experienced home
builders Otago families trust most. Every project we take on is personally overseen by our Licensed Building Practitioner with transparent pricing, proactive communication, and a genuine commitment to getting the result right.
Precision Builders Otago was founded by Mark Hastie, a Licensed Building Practitioner who had spent years working across Dunedin and Otago renovation projects and kept arriving at the same uncomfortable conclusion. Mark is one of Otago’s most experienced home builders with 15+ years.
Too many homeowners were finishing their renovation or new build feeling disappointed, overcharged, and worn down by the experience. Not because the work was always bad but because the process was opaque, communication was inconsistent, and no one had taken the time to genuinely understand what the homeowner actually wanted.
Mark started Precision Builders Otago to change that. Not with a marketing slogan, but with a different set of operating principles; transparent pricing from day one, proactive communication throughout the build, and a personal commitment to delivering what was promised, when it was promised.
As experienced home builders Otago-wide, we have completed 150+ renovation and new build projects across Dunedin, Mosgiel, Milton, Balclutha, and greater Otago. From kitchen and bathroom renovations to full home transformations and custom new builds, every project is still managed with the same principles Mark founded the company on.
That has not changed. And it will not.
We are not different because we say we are. We are different because of the specific commitments we make to every single client and how consistently we keep them.
You should never have to chase your builder for an update. At Precision Builders Otago, every client receives regular project updates throughout the build before you have to ask. You always know what is happening, what is next, and what to expect.
All restricted building work at Precision Builders Otago is carried out or directly supervised by our Licensed Building Practitioner as required under the New Zealand Building Act 2004.
Mark personally oversees every Precision Builders project from the first consultation through to final handover and Code Compliance Certificate. When you work with Precision Builders Otago, you are working with the person whose name is on the license.
Every project starts with a detailed written quote — full scope, clear inclusions, clear exclusions, and a final number you can actually plan around. We do not pad margins with vague line items or hit you with variations that were never in the original scope.
We set timelines we can keep, not timelines designed to win the job. If something changes, you hear about it from us first, with a clear explanation and a revised plan. No surprises. No excuses.
We build in Dunedin and Otago every day. We understand the climate, the council consent requirements, the building challenges specific to this region, and the high standard Otago homeowners expect. This is our home and it shows in every project we complete.
From kitchen refreshes to complete home transformations, Precision Builders Otago delivers licensed building services across the full residential building spectrum. Every service is LBP-supervised, DCC consent managed where required, and backed by our written warranty.
