Kelvin Marinkovich
Director
Hi, I’m Kelvin – a Licensed Building Practitioner and Registered Master Builder.
Born and raised in the Far North, and with 20 years hands on building experience, I developed a passion for building at a very early age. With both my father and grandfather being builders, I guess you can say it’s in my blood.
I took the opportunity to work for my dad every school holidays and when I finished school I moved to Auckland to complete my apprenticeship with City Build Construction (now Axiom Projects). I was a finalist in the Master builder apprentice of the year competition, and began running large projects at an early age, including complex historical restoration projects. After 6 years with City Build I moved to Canada where I gained overseas experience in construction.
Upon my return to New Zealand I spent 6 years in Queenstown doing high end residential new builds, where I was the lead carpenter for Nevis Group. I gained experience working on large budget builds with complex plans and cutting edge materials.
In 2017 my wife and I moved home to the far north to start Elite Builders Northland Ltd.
