About Scott
Your local Tauranga builder
With 20+ years of building experience across both commercial and residential projects, I've built my reputation on doing quality work and being straight-up with people.
For me, it all comes down to communication. I know how stressful it can be to find a builder you can actually trust - someone who shows up, keeps you in the loop, and gets the job done right. Whether your project is big or small, you'll deal with me directly from the first conversation to the final nail. No handoffs, no confusion about who to call - just one person who knows your project inside and out.
I work alongside a tight-knit group of local trades I trust completely, so you get the reliability of a solid team without the overheads of a large company.
Based in Tauranga - if you've got a project in mind, I'd love to chat with you on how Couper Building Services can help you.

My Story
Born and raised in Wellington, I completed my apprenticeship in 2003 and specialised in building Lockwood homes before doing what half of New Zealand does - packed my bags and headed to the UK in 2008.
I landed with a great crew specialising in high-end commercial shop fit-outs and temporary exhibition spaces, which gave me a real eye for detail and finish, along with loft conversions and historic building restorations.
After returning to New Zealand, I spent two years living and working in the Bay before making my way to Western Australia, where the work shifted to cyclone-resistant residential builds, high-density urban development, and large-scale commercial and industrial projects - including set design for the CBS TV series Survivor.
I've called Tauranga home since 2016, and I've loved being part of the local community, one project at a time.
