The Beginning
Seeing brand new houses become family homes in his own community has always been immensely rewarding to our founder and director, Aaron Bennett. For as long as he can remember he has been passionate about the building industry- growing up, there was never really any question as to what he would do.
After his apprenticeship with Stanley Group, Aaron worked as a Site Foreman with them on residential and commercial sites until 2009, when he started ‘Aaron Bennett Builders.’ In Matamata, New Zealand.
With strong roots in regional New Zealand, Bennett Homes was founded with the vision to positively impact people and communities through innovation, adaptability and a passion for building excellence. We are committed to providing sustainable building and land development solutions across the country, to enhance the future of New Zealanders.
