Project / Account Manager
A 20 year Police career helped Pete develop his passion and obsession with building and land development, which began in the Marlborough region. Since 1996, Pete started as a builder’s labourer in his spare time and branched out into all aspects of building, project management for both new builds and renovations and then into land development and subdivisions.
With his wife Nicky, of 35 plus years, they moved to Nelson in 2016 and in 2017 Pete formed Build It Better Ltd to fulfil a life long dream of running his very own building company. Build It Better Ltd was then sold to its current owner and Pete’s very first qualified builder, Chris Heywood along with Chris’ wife Julie in 2021.
Pete is currently employed by the company to project manage many of the new builds and large renovations. Pete also specialises in assisting clients with land development, subdivisions and every size and type of retaining wall when the need arises.
He has a wealth of knowledge in all aspects of building and land development and loves helping people through what is sometimes seen as a very challenging time whether it is building a new home or getting a much needed renovation done.
