History

George Bruinsma commenced his building career as a carpenter, beginning his apprenticeship at age 16.

At age 32 he began building his own spec homes. The plan in the beginning was to build one or two homes a year, this way George could do all the carpentry work himself. Since that time, with the help of his wife Fay, he has been successful in building a business that has had contracts to build more than 70 homes/units a year.

The secret to the success of the business is by providing a customer based service. This is done by being flexible and allowing the client to create their dream home, not restricting them to certain products or suppliers.

gavin Bruinsma started life in the building industry from a very young age and was always involved in various areas of the business as he grew up. After graduating from year 12, Gavin went on to complete an ‘Associate Diploma in Architectural Drafting’ which led to a period of working as a draftsman for various drafting companies. During this period he also completed a ‘Diploma of Building and Design’.

In 1999 Gavin commenced working for G & F Bruinsma as a supervisor. During this time, he has grown in experience and knowledge taking on the precedence set by George and Fay.

In 2004 Gavin successfully gained his own Builders license. GK Bruinsma Homes was created, Gavin as the registered builder and Kim, his wife, working behind the scenes. GK Bruinsma Homes progressively grew, with all work based in the same office as G & F Bruinsma, using the same trades and suppliers.

While GK Bruinsma Homes continued to grow, G & F Bruinsma slowly reduced their business. Bruinsma Builders was created as an evolvement and continuation of the legacy created by the Bruinsma name in the Building industry. Gavin Bruinsma is the director/owner of the company with all the same staff and sub-contractors working to continue to provide the same customer service.
