About Momentum Building Ltd

Waikato Builders

Anthony Paterson

Director/Co-Founder

I grew up in Lichfield in the South Waikato, from a young age I had a passion for carpentry. I was always out in the shed tinkering away and building something, whether it was a new bike ramp to jump with my friends, or a bird house to sell in my parents shop I just loved to make things.

In 2008 I started a BCITO apprenticeship at JLN Builders in Tirau. During my time there I learnt a lot, quality was at the forefront of everything we did, and I developed a strong work ethic and pride in my work.

After finishing my apprenticeship at the end of 2012, I moved down to Wellington with Sophie, my now wife, and began working for Holmes Wellington. They specialised in high end residential and light commercial work. I worked as a carpenter for around 10 months before quickly moving up to running sites as a foreman/site manager.

Some of these jobs that stand out include:

Park Kitchen and the adjoining Miramar Fish & Chips Shop, this taught me a lot about managing a big team, organising a range of sub-contractors, and working to a tight timeframe.

Re-Building a 3-storey house at 147 Tasman St in Newtown from the ground up after it had caught fire, and renovating the adjoining house attached to it. This was an interesting job with a lot of challenges as it was your typical wellington house, built on the side of a hill with other houses in close proximity, and up a very narrow street. I learnt a lot about programming, scheduling, and getting creative on this job because on such a small site there was limited space to store materials and have multiple trades working at the same time.

And 50 Grafton Rd/53 The Crescent in Roseneath which was a multi-million dollar project, this included renovating an existing house, earthquake strengthening it, extending it and attaching it to a newly built 10 car underground garage with lawn and in-ground pool above. Throughout my time on this job I gained a lot of knowledge and skill working with the architect and engineers on such a large scale project to achieve the clients vision.

In 2018 Sophie and I left Wellington for our big OE. We travelled through Japan, China, and most of Europe while working in cafes and restaurants in Scotland and England to keep the travels going. We had such an amazing time and made some lifelong friends.

While we were traveling, we dreamed up Momentum Building, with the goal of delivering high quality new builds and renovations in the Waikato, and when we returned to NZ in 2019 that dream became a reality. Since returning our family has also grown, and we now have two beautiful little girls, Lucy 3 and Kate 1.

I am a big believer of providing great service and a quality product. Over the years the company has grown, and we now have a collaborative and people-focused culture which has helped us build a reliable community of suppliers and trades we work with to deliver on our client’s dreams.
