crafting custom builds in queenstown, cromwell, arrowtown and beyond

At Hawkeye Builders Queenstown Lakes, we pride ourselves on communication, craft and considered choices. We work alongside you to create a home or commercial space that is unique to your needs, aesthetic and our spectacular surroundings in Queenstown, Cromwell, Arrowtown, Wānaka and beyond.

What began as two passionate builders with a love of their home and community, has grown to encompass a team of quality craftsmen servicing the wider Queenstown Lakes region. 

From the ground up, we believe that every build should reflect both the people inside it and the stunning environment around it. Whether this is through the use of natural or recycled materials, energy-efficient design, protecting historic buildings or thoughtful landscaping.

As part of our efforts to protect our home, we offer all our building partners an eco-recycling service, fund a new community project each year and invest our resources into upskilling around energy-efficient building practices and environmentally-friendly materials suited to this spectacular landscape, working towards more sustainable practices across the board.

Whether you’re building your family home in Queenstown, crafting an alpine retreat in Cromwell, renovating a historic cottage in Arrowtown or refurbishing your business in Frankton, every element of your project will be carefully crafted to reflect your bespoke vision and the beauty of Queenstown Lakes.
