About Ox Builders

With over 20 years of experience in builds and construction, Brett ‘Ox’ Foster decided to branch out in the industry in 2018 after working as a site manager for various builds. Now, he and his team of 5 builders have reshaped the construction game for the better with their expertise and professionalism. With experience working on brand new builds to simple renovations and construction, Ox Builders have everything new homeowners need for a bigger, and better home.

Ox Builders design and construct warm, energy‑smart homes throughout Hamilton, Cambridge, Te Awamutu and the wider Waikato. Brett with his team handles everything in‑house from concept sketches, council consents processing, and full project management. This way you only have to deal with one building company and one person throughout the build. You can select one of our existing house plans or a fully bespoke design, we’ll build a home that fits your section, lifestyle and budget, delivered on time and built to last.
