At G.J. Gardner Homes, all of our franchises operate within the requirements of Licensed Building Practitioners
G.J. Gardner Homes, Taranaki Franchise, opened its doors in June 2006 and is owned and operated by Rod Roebuck and Ben Hawke of Ostra Holdings Ltd.
In 2016 Rod Roebuck and Ben Hawke purchased the franchise from the previous owners and have continued to grow the business while still creating high quality, well priced homes in the province they both call home.
Although Rod and Ben are new owners of the business they both have a long association with the Taranaki Franchise.
Rod has been there since day one back in 2006, beginning as an Estimator then moving into construction management before being given the opportunity to buy into the business, an offer he jumped at.
Ben may have only joined the team in 2015, but because his parents were the previous owners, he has been part of the G.J Taranaki family for many years. Ben has a wealth of building knowledge, from dairy sheds, housing and work on the Christchurch re-build.
"Our reputation is only as good as our last build" - Rod Roebuck
