James Bros Construction

James Bros Construction is an Auckland building company run by brothers Brady and Willie James, with teams based on the North Shore and on Waiheke Island. The set-up is deliberately local: Brady lives in Narrow Neck and operates the North Shore crew, while Willie runs the Waiheke team. The business is also described as a family affair, with their brother Simon working in the company.

Brady James brings a long track record to the role, having started his carpentry apprenticeship in Rotorua and later working across London, Melbourne, Whitianga and Auckland. His background spans both commercial and residential projects, with a clear focus on residential work. Since branching out on his own in 2005, his work has ranged from smaller renovations through to project managing architecturally designed new builds.

On the credentials side, Brady has been a Licensed Building Practitioner (Carpentry/Site 2) since 2010, which is the licensing system for carrying out or supervising restricted building work under the Building Act. The company trades as JAMES BROS CONSTRUCTION LIMITED and is NZBN-registered.

Willie James started building in 2002 and has worked on projects in London, Auckland and the Coromandel, including establishing a niche building company in London. His experience includes both residential and commercial new builds and renovations, aligning with the company’s ability to take on a broad mix of building work across its two Auckland bases.
