A born and bred Coaster, Mat has been building on the West Coast for the past 20 years. As a skilled and qualified tradesman, he has a tremendous amount of knowledge to offer about West Coast building practices and what it means for you and your new home.

Mat also gained useful trade experience building in Australia which has only enhanced his general expertise regarding the trade over here. In the last 18 years he has established a very productive building company, Colville Hofman Builders. Due to the success he achieved in this company, it was time to take the next step forward, and join the team at GJs.

Gardner Homes is known for being "New Zealand's most trusted home builder". This aligns with our vision for the West Coast franchise. We are highly customer focussed, our main priority is our clients' satisfaction throughout the whole building and consultation process, as well as the end product itself” – Mat Colville

From March 1st 2012 changes to the Building Act 2004 mean that building work of homes affecting the structure or water envelope (as when building new homes), will be classified as Restricted Building Work and is required to be carried out by competent, appropriately licensed building practitioners. At G.J. Gardner Homes, all of our franchises operate within the requirements of Licensed Building Practitioners. If you require any further information about licensing please click the logo above to go to the Licensed building practitioners (LBPs) website.
