About Us

Owners, Paul and Lee Southorn established their business in February 1996. Southbuild (formerly Southorn Builders) is a Christchurch-based building company specialising in commercial, domestic and light civil building. We have an excellent reputation based on trust and the positive relationships that we have built over the last 15 years.

We undertake a large range of building contracts in the greater Christchurch area.

Experienced

As registered Master Builders, we have a broad and sound knowledge of the carpentry and building project management required for commercial and home renovations, alterations and extensions.

Skilled

We are able to complete to a very high standard large and complex building projects such as major renovations, structural extensions and structural and internal changes. We also take on smaller projects such as renovating kitchens, bathrooms and installing window joinery. We can work with a wide range of different building products.

Flexible

Over the years Paul and Lee have developed positive relationships with a variety of reliable suppliers and subcontractors you may need to complete your project. Or if you prefer we can work with your existing suppliers. We can work with or without involvement of architect depending on the scope of work.

Cost Effective

It is important that you feel assured of the quality of the materials we supply as well as the high standard of our workmanship. We prepare detailed quotes and endeavour to price jobs with the best materials at the best price. Where possible we request as many as three competitive quotes before selecting our final suppliers.

Efficient

We pride ourselves on tight co-ordination and good communication so your project is completed quickly and efficiently minimising inconvenience to you. Our builders realise their building site is your home or business and show respect at all times being punctual, polite and as tidy as possible.

Helpful

At all times Paul and Lee are available to discuss any concerns or questions that may arise during the job and appreciate any feedback you offer.
