The Team

Meet the Makers

Led by Charley and Shandre, Castle Collab blends industry know-how with genuine client care.

We build relationships as well as buildings. Our team brings together deep technical expertise, hard-won project delivery experience, and a genuine commitment to client outcomes that you simply won't find at a larger, more anonymous supplier.

Our Culture

Built on Trust

Every Castle Collab project starts and ends with trust. We give you direct access to the people building your project - no call centres, no middlemen. When Charley or Shandre make a commitment, they deliver on it personally. That's not a policy; it's how we've operated since day one.

Precision Over Speed

We don't cut corners to hit deadlines. Every weld, every panel join, every fitout detail is executed to specification. Our team of skilled tradesmen take genuine pride in their craft - because a building that leaves our yard carries our name on it. Quality isn't negotiable at Castle Collab.

Genuinely Collaborative

The "Collab" in Castle Collab isn't a buzzword. We work alongside your project managers, procurement teams, and site supervisors to ensure every build integrates seamlessly with your programme. We adapt, we communicate, and we treat your deadlines as our own.

New Zealand Made

Designed, engineered, and built entirely in New Zealand by New Zealanders. Our supply chain is local, our materials are specified for NZ conditions, and our team understands the unique challenges of building for Kiwi environments — from coastal salt spray to alpine frost.
