We use top-quality materials, work with trusted local suppliers, and keep the whole process clear and stress-free. When you build with us, you’re not just another job - you’re our neighbour.
Originally from Southland, Brett kicked off his building career in 2000, completing his apprenticeship in 2004 while cutting his teeth on high-end residential builds throughout Arrowtown and Southland under a well-respected local builder.
Brett went on to co-own a successful building company in Southland for over a decade before making the move to Central Otago in 2016, where he established Brett Watson Builders Limited.
With 25 years in the industry, Brett brings a wealth of experience, a sharp eye for detail, and a passion for building homes that truly fit the landscapes and lifestyles of Central Otago and the Southern Lakes.

Ruth and David Shierlaw
Brett did a fantastic job building our house. The project was handled with attention to detail and care—from planning and groundwork through to the final finishes. We have used Brett on a number of projects and his professionalism and craftsmanship was reflected in the top notch finished projects we received.
I would not hesitate to work with Brett again or to recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled, trustworthy, and dedicated builder.
