When it comes to building new homes or cribs in these tranquil yet rugged South Island areas, it’s important to work with home builders you can trust and know that your new home will stand the test of time.
At Lockwood, that’s exactly what we do, using our almost 7 decades of industry experience to ensure that every detail meets our CodeMarked standards for quality and craftsmanship. From day one, structural integrity and aspirational design has gone into every Lockwood home, helping to establish our reputation for homes of outstanding quality.
When you choose a Lockwood home, you join our family. From the designers and engineers, to the skilled craftsmen in our production facilities and finally the building contractors on site: we take pride in our product and reputation with complete commitment to the outcome of your new home.
Ken Drummond Builder
After many years building in and around Taupo, Ken briefly moved to Christchurch after the quakes, then relocated to Lake Brunner on the West Coast where he met partner Chrissie Freitas and built a home and successfully developed and sold a lifestyle subdivision overlooking the lake.
Alongside completing the subdivision, Ken has built new homes, alterations and extensions along with outdoor living additions, dairy sheds, barns and garages. With the West Coast an enduring favourite with Cantabrians looking for wilderness weekenders, returning expats as a permanent base and northerners now arriving, Ken is excited about the prospects for Lockwood sales as enjoyed in recent decades.

We recently had an extension built for our holiday home, and we couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. From start to finish, the team was professional, reliable, and delivered exceptional results.
The quality of the work was second to none – every detail was meticulously taken care of, and the craftsmanship exceeded our expectations. We truly appreciate the builder’s commitment to excellence and the effort put into ensuring that everything was perfect.
What really stood out to us was their honesty and transparency throughout the entire project. They kept us fully updated on developments and were always quick to address any concerns we had. We never had to worry about hidden costs or delays, as they were always upfront and communicative about the progress and any potential changes.
We highly recommend Ken Drummond and his team to anyone looking for a trustworthy and skilled team to bring their vision to life. The end result is exactly what we had hoped for, and we’re so grateful for their hard work!
