Building with Confidence since 1950

McIntosh Group

Award Winning 4th Generation Family Business

The McIntosh name has been synonymous with building excellence in the Canterbury region since the 1950’s. Owner and founder of McIntosh Builders Limited, Alastair McIntosh, worked alongside his father, Colin who was a second-generation builder himself, on local construction projects and major development projects.

In 2002 Alastair’s son John joined the company, forming and now leading the busy Commercial Construction Division.

Today, the McIntosh Group has grown exponentially, with a team of 40 highly qualified permanent staff and multiple generations of family working in all the divisions – Residential, Commercial, Precast and Painting.

The Group is quietly scooping up awards and creating architectural feats in some of the biggest signature projects in NZ, but never turning down the small projects that they started with.

Each project they take on, big or small, receives the same quality workmanship, personal service and commitment to meeting deadlines. As an established, multi-generational company with strong family values, they strive to build long-term relationships with all of their clients.

For good work done in a timely manner I would highly recommend McIntosh Painting Ltd. Rodney and his team from McIntosh Painting Ltd recently painted our new office at House of Travel Ashburton. The team were extremely professional and helpful throughout the whole process. Our office looks fantastic and we are very proud of our new environment. I highly recommend the McIntosh Painting team.

PAUL HARRIS COMMERCIAL MANAGER / DIRECTOR, HIGGS CONSTRUCTION LIMITED

We are very satisfied with the work that McIntosh Builders did to complete some of renovations to our store. Our latest projects were our Delicatessen upgrade and Bakery extension. We all appreciated the extra effort that was put in by John and his team, which enabled us to still trade with very minimum disruption to our staff and customers. All the tradesmen that were used by McIntosh Builders were of a high standard, and now I am using them for my own business needs. We have since used McIntosh Builders for other work in our store.

As a Project Manager for Foodstuffs South Island Ltd I have contact with a great deal of building contractors throughout the South Island. I always try to source a local builder to carry out work on a supermarket in that particular region. When I discover a competent builder I will continue to use them. I employ McIntosh Builders to all our work at our local Foodstuffs stores in Mid Canterbury. They have proven themselves to be very reliable, trustworthy and there workmanship to be of a high quality. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to any future potential customers.

When undertaking our last project in Term 2, a roll growth classroom, we were introduced to John McIntosh of McIntosh Builders. Immediately we were impressed by McIntosh Builders ability to communicate and work with us on the plan for the new classroom. They listened to our education demands for our new classroom and worked our vision into reality so that it kept within budget and to the constraints of a practical build. Furthermore, from the moment the 1st stake went into the ground, our build went very smoothly and progressed superbly. This was a direct result of McIntosh Builders building management skills.

NEIL SIMONSPRINCIPAL, LONGBEACH SCHOOL ASHBURTON

Hinds School has recently undergone a 3 stage development programme involving McIntosh Builders for all of it. During all the projects we found Rushton Architects and McIntosh Builders to be a very efficient team. They communicated well and have worked together to ensure all our projects are finished to an extremely high standard whilst remaining within budget. Whilst working on site, McIntosh Builders have always kept a very clean worksite, well fenced and we have had no health and safety concerns. We have no trouble in recommending them.
