We specialise in high-end homes, quality banter, and a building experience that’s streamlined and actually enjoyable.
What makes us different? Our director, trained architect Phil Kingsbury uses his architectural and building experience to journey with you from design to completion, acting as oversight so you don’t have to.
We take the headache out of the construction process, so you can relax smugly, sip a wine and let us do the work.
Our Promise
The building industry is changing daily, so pricing promises are a thing of the past.
What we can promise, however, is up-to-the-minute communication about the progress, the price, and changes you may need.
We’ll work with you in an ongoing conversation to workshop, brainstorm and make adjustments to suit your needs.
Our director Phil won’t build a home he wouldn’t put his own family in.
Outstanding workmanship and attention to detail are his bottom line, and although his middle name is Grant, it should be ‘perfectionist.’
Your luxury home will be built with meticulous care and thorough planning and execution.
We’re passionate about staying up-to-date with the latest technology.
Why? It means better and smarter solutions for your home.
Our director Phil’s own house is a low energy home, delivering cleaner air, a warm environment and minimal moisture.

Your builders
The team at Kingsbury Construction aren’t just builders, they’re craftsmen. Handpicked by our director Phil, they’re chosen for their attention to detail, their impeccable work ethic and, of course, their brazen good looks.
There’ll be no cutting corners with these guys (Phil wouldn’t let them anyway).
They’re large enough to tackle your home, yet small enough that you’ll get a boutique experience, with Phil acting as project oversight every step of the way.
Kingsbury Construction is the brainchild of family man Phil Kingsbury, an architect-turned-builder with a passion for detail.
Although talented in Architecture and design (first class honours no less), it was the hands-on building experience that led him home to the South to launch his building company in Queenstown, NZ.
Together with his wife Averil, and their 3 mini site inspectors, they run Kingsbury Construction. Phil’s been known to ‘stop by’ a construction site after hours to pick up a tool and return home three hours later (still married, no divorce in sight).
With the impressive combo of architect and builder, your home is in safe, meticulous hands.
Did someone just say ‘ecclectic’? WE DID. Our latest project is what happens when a craft beer brewer meets an art teacher and designs a house together.
This unique home is an air tight, low energy home with solar panels. Gorgeous gable ceilings with easy plan open living and glimpses of lake views.
Located right on the waterfront in the beautiful Kelvin Peninsula, this was an extensive renovation project we were eager to sink our teeth into.
Currently underway, we can’t wait to see it completed because of its outstanding features. Our favourites? The charred timber cladding, timber decking on all four levels, in ground garage with parking on top and panoramic views of Lake Wakatipu. Dreamy!
