CJ Ryan Builder is a locally owned and operated building company based at 65 Miro St, Miramar, Wellington, established in 1997 in a makeshift office in a front room with just 2 employees. Today the company has grown into a team of 5 highly experienced builders, all Wellington born and bred, with access to trusted local plumbers and electricians used consistently across their jobs.
A Registered Master Builders company and LPB (Licensed Building Practitioners) licensed, CJ Ryan has won Master Builders House of the Year awards, including Gold and Silver, and was nominated as one of the Gold Reserve National Finalists for renovation work on a property in Miramar, Wellington. The team offers a comprehensive range of building services covering renovations and additions, new builds, fencing and decking, and commercial fit outs, working on projects of any size, all guaranteed.
CJ Ryan is also a teaching company, having successfully seen 6 builders through their apprenticeships despite being a relatively small team. Being Wellington-born themselves, the team brings direct knowledge of the standards and products best suited to the local climate — important in a city known as New Zealand's 'City of Wind,' where strong foundations matter.
CJ Ryan Builder's story starts small: established in 1997 in a makeshift office in a front room, with just 2 employees. Nearly three decades on, the Miramar-based company has grown into a team of 5 highly experienced builders, having built a rock solid reputation across the Wellington region from the ground up.
CJ Ryan's growth has been built on craftsmanship, honesty and reliability on every job, whether that's minor renovations or a complete new build. The company has been recognised at the Master Builders House of the Year awards, winning both Gold and Silver, and was nominated as one of the Gold Reserve National Finalists for renovation work carried out on a property in Miramar, Wellington. It's the kind of recognition that reflects a consistent standard of workmanship rather than a one-off result.
The company covers a comprehensive spread of building work: renovations and additions for homeowners running out of space, new builds designed to match exact specifications and built with a designer through to a finished single or multi-storey home or business, fencing and decking in a range of materials built to withstand Wellington's weather, and commercial fit outs and refurbishment works where design, costs, procurement and logistics are all carefully managed. Whatever the scope, CJ Ryan says no job is too big or small, and all work is guaranteed.
New Zealanders call Wellington the 'City of Wind,' and CJ Ryan takes that seriously — strong foundations matter here more than most places. With a team of qualified builders and a rigorous apprenticeship program, the company has made sure its work, and its people, are built to last. Every team member is Wellington born and bred, giving the business direct, local knowledge of the standards and products best suited to the local environment, and the company makes a point of calling on local companies for products and sub-services wherever possible.
Despite being a relatively small operation, CJ Ryan has taken training seriously, successfully seeing 6 builders through their apprenticeships. That commitment to developing the next generation of tradespeople sits alongside the company's own credentials — it's a Registered Master Builders company and LPB (Licensed Building Practitioners) licensed, giving clients confidence that the people on site meet recognised industry standards.
CJ Ryan's gallery showcases the range of projects the team has completed since 1997, spanning different building styles and solutions across renovations and new homes. It's a useful way for prospective clients to get a feel for the company's work before getting in touch, offering a visual sense of the finish and detail that's gone into past jobs.
