Your North Shore home, reimagined — built for the view, the climate, and the way you live.
Registered Master Builder · 10-Year Guarantee · $2M public liability insurance · House of the Year Gold 2025 · Servicing Devonport, Takapuna, Milford, Albany, Northcote, Birkenhead & wider North Shore.
The North Shore is one of Auckland’s most varied renovation markets — and we know how to build here.
The Shore covers everything from Devonport heritage villas and Northcote Point bungalows to mid-century homes around Takapuna and Milford, 70s and 80s family homes across Birkenhead and Glenfield, leaky 90s and 2000s plaster builds in Albany and the Northern bays, and modern coastal homes in Mairangi Bay, Browns Bay, and Long Bay. The renovations that win here add light, flow, and outlook — opening kitchens to the sea or harbour, second-storey extensions that capture views, master suites with private outlook. AVR builds across the full range, same QS process, same Master Builder Guarantee, same one team.
