Your Local, Trusted Wanaka Builder

Crown Ridge Building is proudly owned and operated by Sam Mangos, your experienced and reliable Wanaka builder.

From architecturally designed homes to thoughtful renovations and comfortable first homes, our team has delivered it all. We specialise in transforming outdated baches and character homes into warm, modern sanctuaries – perfect for year-round living. We’re also skilled in managing complex earthquake repairs with precision and care.

We’re a small, tight-knit team – and we like it that way. It means we stay agile, communicate clearly, and focus on delivering high-quality results without the overheads or confusion of a large company.

When you build with us, your money goes into your home – not flashy offices, a bloated payroll, or glossy brochures.

Choose Crown Ridge Building, and you’ll work directly with Sam, who personally manages every project. He’ll be on site, on the tools, and in constant contact – making sure every detail is taken care of by a trusted team who truly care about your home.

Communication and transparency

At Crown Ridge Building, we believe great building experiences start with great communication. You’ll never be left wondering where things are at.

We use smart, easy-to-follow software that tracks your budget in real time and ensures our invoicing is completely transparent. No hidden costs, no surprises – just clear, honest updates.

Throughout your project, we tailor communication to suit you. Whether you prefer regular catch-ups or a hands-off approach, we’ll keep you informed every step of the way so you always know how your build is progressing.
