The Team Behind Latch Build

  • Cam is our director and a highly skilled builder, bringing 18 years of invaluable experience in the building industry. His expertise ensures that there’s no problem he can't solve. With a deep passion for architecturally designed homes, Cam enjoys the finer details of every project.

    Outside of work, Cam cherishes spending time with his family and enjoys mountain biking adventures with friends. He also loves to gather around the outdoor fire, where he showcases his culinary skills by whipping up delicious pizzas.

  • Tara leads client communications at Latch Build, providing clear, consistent weekly updates and ensuring clients feel informed and supported throughout their build journey.

    With a keen eye for detail, Tara also oversees marketing and social media, showcasing the quality work delivered on site. Her passion for the building industry, combined with a strong interest in interior design, drives her to present our projects in their best light.

    Outside of work, Tara enjoys making the most of the outdoors around Wānaka with their dog Max, spending time with family and friends, and indulging her creative side through painting.

  • Angus is our highly skilled and qualified carpenter, known for his strong Scottish accent and friendly demeanour. With a keen eye for detail, he takes immense pride in his work, particularly when it comes to achieving that perfect cedar finish. On-site, Angus leads jobs with confidence, ensuring everything runs smoothly while expertly managing material orders and other staff members.

    When he's not building, you can find Angus spending quality time with his partner, Tayla, and their dog Chess, enjoying a round of golf, or cooking up a chunk of meat on the smoker.

  • Ben has been in the building trade for 12 years, with 3 years honing his skills in the UK and the past 9 years building here in NZ.

    He thrives on finishing work - the stage of a build where precision, craftsmanship and attention to detail really count. Ben especially enjoys architectural details, where problem-solving and creativity come into play and no two days feel the same.

    Outside of work, you’ll find him making the most of the outdoors and everything this beautiful part of the world has to offer.

  • Daniel began his apprenticeship in January 2024 and has been working in the building trade for over two years. Building has always been part of his life, having grown up around roofing and renovation projects through family involvement in the industry.

    He particularly enjoys roof framing and being up high on site, along with the opportunity to think on his feet and problem-solve throughout the build. Daniel is drawn to intricate projects with lots of moving parts, which naturally fuels his interest in renovations and architectural new homes.

    Outside of work, Daniel is a keen speedway fan, following stockcars over summer and skiing through winter. He also enjoys woodturning and furniture making, getting into the hills hunting, and spending time on the boat chasing big fish.
