Our History

After working in construction for over a decade, Jeremy McKillop noticed a few ugly truths about façade manufacturing and installation companies in New Zealand. He’d often seen four (or more) companies working inefficiently on one project, and trades were not turning up when they should.

The overall lack of industry expertise produced bad design, shoddy standards, and unsafe work practises. The resultant leaks, noncompliance issues, and inferior workmanship meant costly repairs and reworking was often necessary.

In 2013 he started Artisan to raise the standard. Jeremy embedded an unwavering ethos for every project – one of quality workmanship, safely completed, with zero defects, on time, every time.

From the beginning Jeremy knew he needed to focus as much on building trust as much as the physical construction. The Artisan Assurance helps provide enduring confidence to project partners. This guarantee is made possible due to the start-to-finish scrutiny and integrity of the Artisan team.

Today Jeremy and his team design, manufacture, and install superior facades throughout New Zealand. When it comes to building exteriors, their work continues to make the outside outstanding.

Our Mindset

At Artisan we take absolute care in our craft. Our work providing cutting-edge technology and unerring guidance and service in equal measure. Companies throughout New Zealand value the non-negotiable standards and steadfast values we bring to all aspects of our work.

We front up.

It’s simple – without an enduring reputation our work cannot continue. Personal and professional integrity is everything. From the initial meeting to final project sign-off, if we say we’ll do something, we do it.

We match your vision.

Artisan’s work is not limited by a rigid adherence to one material or process over another. Instead, we take pride in offering a range of cladding options – and matching the right solution to your unique needs.

We cover the corners.

Cutting corners is a sure-fire way to ruin short-term results and long-term repute. Our industry experience, design expertise, and installation acumen mean nothing is left to chance. Everything is scoped, delivered, and put in place when and where it should be.

We build beyond.

In everything we do our work must be future-focused, matching the inspiration and ambition of all build partners. Only in this way can we deliver a result we can all be proud of across the decades to come. That’s why, of all the things we build, a legacy is the most important.

The Artisan Assurance

Our obligation to perfection

“Any defects or imperfections get fixed, no questions asked, no excuses made.”

Our Partners and Products

At Artisan we understand and respect the legacy we can help create for builders and architects, companies and communities. This is why we always look to elevate what’s possible, inspiring creative design, ensuring strength and style, delivering an outside that goes above and beyond.
