At G.J. Gardner Homes, all of our franchises operate within the requirements of Licensed Building Practitioners
G.J. Gardner Homes has been operating in the Tauranga district since 1998 and is independently owned and operated by Shane & Kirsty McConnell of Shaker 2007 Ltd. In 2019 Tauranga was split into two businesses, Tauranga North and South, to better serve their customers.
Shane has a background practicing law and property development, before moving into sales consultancy and project management roles. While Kirsty’s background is in marketing, advertising, and graphic design.
Together they could see the advantages of belonging to a franchise building system, with the buying power, quality, value and speed of building that G.J. Gardner Homes had to offer and purchased the Tauranga franchise in 2007.
“Our customer testimonials are our best indication of our performance and local reputation. We also have customer who can open their homes for those looking to build with us, and will happily answer any questions you may have about their experience of building with us” – Shane & Kirsty McConnell
