About Us

Who We Are

My name is Khan, I have been building for 12 years, working in and around trades for much longer. I started Black Robin Builders 4 years ago, prior to that I worked for a Wellington-based Developer specialising in architectural builds and renovating homes for comfortable living. Their ethos was “the more challenging it is to build - the more you get out of it.” & I have adopted that also.

Our company name is inspired by the incredible story of the New Zealand Black Robin –
It is a story of near extinction and amazing recovery. See more here about Old Blue. I am bringing that stoicism & close-knit culture with me to Black Robin Builders. We are a family business; my dad is one of our qualified builders & my mum handles all of our administration & accounts. Our team currently sits at 11 qualified builders & 3 apprentices & 2 labourers.

“I had an old retaining wall to replace on a sloping site in Houghton Bay. I found Khan and his team honest and reliable to work with and was happy with the completed job. I'd be happy to use Black Robin builders for future jobs.”

“I am very impressed by this company and the Director Khan Wall.
Khan helped me with a successful insurance claim for a leak that had caused damage and has fixed the leak perfectly. He and his team are a pleasure to have in my home and I cannot recommend them enough.”
