Meet The Team
Baird Built LTD

I've been building since 2008 and bring a wealth of experience to every project. As your primary point of contact on-site I ensure smooth communication and project coordination. In addition to managing the day-to-day operations of the business, I take on the role of foreman, overseeing subtrades, materials, and workflow. I am dedicated to setting high standards and fostering a strong company culture, ensuring quality craftsmanship and efficiency on every job.

Jordan is a dedicated and enthusiastic apprentice in construction, always eager to learn and take on new challenges. With a hands-on approach and a strong initiative, he thrives in a dynamic work environment where learning is a priority. Weekly check-ins and skills development keep him motivated as he builds his expertise in the trade.

Beyond construction, Jordan has a passion for anything with speed—especially cars and motorbikes. His enthusiasm, work ethic, and willingness to grow make him a valuable asset to the team.

Fred brings over 30 years of hands-on building experience, with a career that’s taken him from residential housing in Hamilton to commercial projects in Whanganui, and then across the country picking up diverse work in towns large and small. For the past two decades, he’s been based in Mangaweka, focusing on renovations, farm building maintenance, and facility work for the New Zealand Defence Force.

Fred thrives on the challenge of renovation work — finding practical solutions for complex problems and breathing new life into existing structures. He values being part of the Baird Built team for its high standards, integrity, and the solid crew environment.

Outside of building, Fred serves his community as a volunteer firefighter and enjoys the rhythm of rural life.
