ABOUT US

Trusted Home Builder and Construction Partner in Dunedin

Hi! I’m Tom Connor, co-founder of Connor Jones Group. I know that choosing a builder in Dunedin for your custom home construction can feel overwhelming—especially after hearing horror stories about projects gone wrong, budget blowouts, and coordination nightmares.

That’s exactly why Chris Jones and I started this business differently. After 47+ years in the industry, we got tired of seeing clients frustrated by the typical construction experience. We built Connor Jones Group to eliminate those headaches entirely.

Our in-house engineering team, construction crew, and fabrication specialists all work together seamlessly.

Whether you’re planning a home renovation in Christchurch, building a custom home in Queenstown, or need commercial construction across Southland, you get one team, one point of contact, and one commitment to getting it right the first time.
Let’s make your project straightforward and stress-free. Contact us to book your initial consultation, and we’ll show you how building can be clear, direct, and perfectly matched to what you actually want.
