About O'Neill Construction

About O'Neill Construction -
Auckland's Licensed Builder

We're a licensed building company based in Glenfield in Auckland. William Tangohau started O'Neill Construction 11 years ago after two decades working across the Auckland construction industry. We run a small team, take on work we're confident in, and deal directly with every client from the first call to the final sign-off.

How It Started

Started Straight Out of School.
Never Left the Trade.

William Tangohau left school and went straight into building - labouring for a mate's dad who ran a construction company in Auckland. That was over 20 years ago. He worked across a wide range of projects over the years, building up the kind of experience that only comes from doing the work, not just overseeing it.

In 2015, he started O'Neill Construction to run jobs on his own terms. Tighter team. More direct contact with clients. The ability to manage a project from start to finish and hand it back to someone who's genuinely happy with what's been built.

11 years later, most of our work still comes from past clients or someone they've referred us to. That's the best measure we know of whether we're doing things right.

How We Work

What You Can Expect
When You Work With Us

Honest Pricing

We quote based on what we actually see on site - not a figure to get the job, followed by variations later. Written quotes before anything starts.

Direct Communication

You deal with the same people from quote to completion. If there's a change or a problem on site, you hear from us first - not after the fact.

Reliable

We show up when we say we will. Building work disrupts people's homes and schedules, and we don't take that lightly.

Work We Stand Behind

We don't take on work we can't do well. If a job's outside our scope, we'll say so. If it's in scope, we'll see it through properly.
