C.A. Robinson Builders has been in the construction business for 20 years. Started by Charlie Robinson, the Company has grown from one staff member to a team of twelve builders. With 30 years experience in the building industry behind him, Charlie started off as an apprentice, and then went out as a ‘Labour Only’ builder before starting his own company.

Robinson’s has continually looked for avenues to increase their business expertise and four years ago, Charlie formed another company called “Concepts Architectural Design” with architect Vaughan Priddey. Vaughan has a Bachelor of Architecture and Building Science and six years experience in the architectural design industry. “We offer a one-stop shop for customers,” explains Charlie. “This enables the client to talk through their ideas with both a designer (with fresh innovative ideas and solutions) and builder (with 30 years’ experience), allowing for concept plans through to quoting and construction.”

When asked to describe his business and what makes him unique, Charlie always says, “It is our commitment to communicating with the client that sets us apart.” And past customers would agree.

At C.A Robinson Builders, we pride ourselves on our client communication. You will find that our quotations are very clear (eliminating nasty surprises at the end of construction) and our prices are based on quoted figures, calculated to accurately reflect the job. If you are ever uncertain about what your quote includes or you would like greater detail, we are always happy to oblige. On of the most important things involved in successfully working with us, or any builder, is your ability to feel comfortable communicating. If you are uncertain, make sure you ask questions and seek clarification. Remember, you are the client!

Robinsons has received many awards including House of the Year and Renovation Award but winning the Waikato Supreme Builder of the Year Award in 2001 was the highlight.

If you are in the market for a builder, give C.A. Robinson Builders a call. Their free, no obligation quote is provided on-site and is invaluable to starting your alterations process off on the right foot.


“From the beginning, Charlie tuned into our requirements and was able to understand what we wanted to achieve. He and his team were enthusiastic and efficient and kept us informed as the work progressed. The workmanship was of the highest standard and we were delighted with our house renovations.”
Elise and Brian Croy, Dinsdale, Hamilton.

“This was a complex job because of the age of the original house. It required a lot of planning involving an Architect, Engineers reports, and Council approval. You have certainly created a one-stop shop environment by handling all that was required to complete the job in a very professional manner.

The builders you employed on this job would be better termed as craftsmen. The workmanship was of the highest standard and the finished product was excellent. They transformed a house with no flow into a very pleasant home in which to live. We are very happy with the result.”
Gloria and Peter McEntyre, Pembroke St, Hamilton.
