Who we are

Born to Build LTD – Auckland

Welcome to Born to Build LTD. I’m Leon Bathhurst, the owner and founder of this local, family-run company. We’re dedicated to delivering high-quality construction and outdoor living solutions for homes across Auckland and surrounding areas.

Our Story

Born to Build Ltd began with a simple idea: a love for the outdoors and a passion for creating. More than 20 years later, that same drive still fuels everything we do. What started as a hands-on appreciation for craftsmanship has grown into a specialist outdoor building company that helps people bring their dream spaces to life.

Every project we take on is personal. We listen, design, and handcraft solutions that reflect each client’s vision, whether it’s a complete outdoor transformation or a bespoke feature that makes a space feel truly yours.

Our commitment to precision, reliability, and attention to detail runs through every stage of the process. We believe that great outdoor spaces don’t just look beautiful, they feel right, blending functionality with the natural character of their surroundings.

At Born to Build, we don’t just build structures. We create spaces where people can connect, unwind, and make lasting memories outdoors.
