Hi I'm Mike, I started Mike Thomson Builders.

I was born in Scotland and moved to New Zealand when I was five years old. I have lived in the Bay of Island's my entire life. I love it here because I love being close to the sea, and because I think Northland is one of the most beautiful spots in the world. That's why I chose to stay here with my family. And why wouldn't you want to build your dream home here too!

They say do what you love, and that's why I'm here.

Early on I decided to put my focus into finding an apprenticeship.

With plenty of laboring hours behind me I was quickly signed up by one of the local builders, and trained through BCITO where I became an ‘Apprentice of the year finalist’.

Later when the builder I was working for retired, I applied for a Job with one of New Zealand’s Premiere High-end Residential Construction Company's. That same year I finished my Apprenticeship and became a qualified builder. I worked for this company building the most amazing and challenging homes all over Northland. Seven years later they finally gave me the chance to run my own site.

After four years running some of Northland's most complex builds, I decided to take the leap and go out on my own. I truly believe with all the knowledge and experience I have gained over the years I will be able to take the best products and use the best tradie's to get the very best outcome for your project, saving you time and money, while getting you a home of the highest quality.

So check out my Gallery to see just a few of the amazing homes I've been part of.

And don't be scared to ring me, I'd be happy to talk things through with you, and

 I'd be happy to provide you with contacts that can recommend me and my team.
