About Tiger Building

Strong Foundations,
Stronger Communities

Leading with values, building with purpose.

Leadership That Builds Trust

Tiger Building thrives on leadership that’s driven by experience, vision, and a commitment to quality. With Lawrence overseeing the Waikato branch and his son Alastair at the helm in Auckland, our leadership ensures that every project is more than just a build—it’s a partnership. Lawrence’s partner Diane, plays a crucial role in keeping both teams supported and focused on delivering the best results.

Lawrence

Decades of Expertise, Building for the Future

Lawrence brings decades of construction experience to Tiger Building. His approach is rooted in long-term relationships, built on trust and delivering excellence. Under his leadership, the Waikato branch continues to grow, with a focus on quality and consistency.

"For me, it's not just about finishing a project—it's about knowing that what we've built will be here for generations. That's the real reward."

Alister

Steering Growth in Auckland

Alister leads the Auckland branch with the same commitment to quality and integrity that defines Tiger Building. His drive for innovation and deep understanding of the construction landscape have helped shape Auckland’s most critical projects.

"Auckland’s construction scene is fast-paced and competitive, but our approach remains the same—staying true to our values and delivering quality, no matter the challenges."

Diane

Keeping the Team Connected

Diane ensures that Tiger Building operates with a balance of precision and care. Her work across both branches supports the entire team, helping the company stay grounded in its values while moving forward.

"I see myself as the glue that keeps us all grounded. We’re a family business, and it's my role to make sure every person here feels valued, supported, and like part of that family."

Andrew

A Leader in Health and Safety

As the head of Health and Safety, Andrew ensures that every project is carried out with the highest safety standards. His dedication to protecting the team and clients is crucial to Tiger Building’s commitment to safe, successful outcomes.

"Health and safety isn’t just a requirement; it’s a responsibility. When you see everyone going home safe at the end of the day, that’s when you know you've done your job right."

Laura

Keeping Operations on Track

Laura manages admin for both the Hamilton and Auckland branches, ensuring smooth day-to-day operations. Her organizational skills and steady hand keep the team focused, making her essential to Tiger Building’s success across both regions.
