Hi, we’re the Dufty’s - the husband and wife team behind YOUR TRUSTED LOCAL BUILDERS.

A man and woman standing together and smiling in front of a black, textured wall. The man is wearing sunglasses, a baseball cap, a light gray t-shirt, shorts, and work boots. The woman is wearing sunglasses, a black sleeveless top, wide beige trousers, and is smiling with one arm around the man's waist.

Based in Rotorua and operated by husband and wife team, Dufty+Co Builders was born from a shared passion for quality and genuine, down-to-earth service here in NZ. With over 17 years of experience as a Licensed Building Practitioner, Dan leads every project with a hands-on approach, an eye for detail, and a deep understanding of the building process. Alice brings her background in event management, marketing and accounting to the table, keeping everything running smoothly behind the scenes.

We started this journey in 2018, and since then, we've built more than homes - we’ve built lasting relationships with our clients across the Bay of Plenty and Waikato regions. Whether it’s a new build, a renovation, or a full residential development, we treat every project as if it were our own.

As a family-run business with two young boys, we understand how busy life can get, which is why we focus on making the building process as smooth, clear, and stress-free as possible for you.

The “+Co” in Dufty+Co represents the incredible crew that stands beside us — skilled, reliable, and just as committed to delivering top-quality results. Together, we pride ourselves on clear communication, honest advice, and a team culture built on trust, respect, and hard work.

We’re passionate about what we do and truly care about the people we work with. If you’re looking for a builder who brings heart, experience, and integrity to every job, we’d love to hear from you.

Thanks for stopping by - we look forward to building something great with you.

“We believe good building comes down to clear communication, solid workmanship, and doing what you say you’re going to do - every time.”
