About Us
Who We Are
Sarich Design & Build
Sarich Design and Build was established because we wanted to develop a building company that defies the cliches and expectations of building. We aim to provide a service that people rave about, with a unique and individual experience.
We are experienced residential builders specialising in custom built new homes and complex renovations. Sarich Design and Build is locally owned and operated, with a love for the Bay of Plenty and all it has to offer, and we believe we are the best building company in the market for homes in Tauranga, Mount Maunganui, and Papamoa. We understand everyone and every project is unique and as such, we will consult with you to define your vision and understand what you want to get out of your build. As a company, we endeavour to be solution-focused and problem solving so as to provide the best possible outcomes for our clients.
We understand that any building project can be a huge financial and emotional commitment. Our skills and experience can guide you through the process to minimise the stress and emotional impact, and deliver the high-quality home that you dream of.
We utilise project management software and technology to support us in managing and tracking our builds. Communication is essential to the success of any building project and contributes to our delivery of excellent service and high-quality products.
We will fully project manage your build, organising all the required trades and suppliers so there is minimal downtime and stress. In addition, we take care of arranging Council inspections to save time and hassle. A typical build has over 25 different companies involved, which can sound overwhelming to the first time builder! Our project management occurs in-house and is overseen by Bevan, owner of Sarich Design and Build, assisted by Buildertrend software. The Sarich team includes qualified and licensed builders who are site managers and oversee the day to day running of the worksite.
Sarich Design and Build are members of the New Zealand Certified Builders Association and Master Builders Association. As a result, you can build with real peace of mind; we pride ourselves on quality workmanship and have a track record of providing exceptional service to our clients. It is our priority to have honest and clear communication, as this is the key to a successful relationship and build project.
Highly skilled and carefully selected, we have a dedicated team of tradesmen and subtrades. We
work collaboratively with the Building & Construction Training Organisation (BCITO). Our teams train apprentices through this organisation, and our workers are highly-skilled and experienced by the end of their apprenticeship.

BEVAN SARICH
General Manager and Co-Founder
Bevan began his building apprenticeship in 1998, qualifying in 2001.
He believes he was fortunate that the first years of his building experience was with a high end building company. This set the foundations; high expectations and standards for workmanship throughout all his building career.
Bevan travelled and lived in London, gaining valuable experience learning what to do – and in some cases, what not to do! – to provide a final product that stands the test of time is something to be proud of.
He founded Sarich Design and Build Ltd in 2010 with his wife Kelly after returning home from the United Kingdom. He wanted to continue with the underlying philosophy to deliver high quality homes through high quality workmanship, experience, trusted communication, transparency, and reliability.
There is a sense of pride in being able to step back and say, “Hey, I built that” – to create something to perfection out of materials.
KELLY SARICH
Office Manager and Co-Founder
Kelly’s background in Nursing has provided her with strong organisational skills and a passion for people which she applies to her role as Co-Founder and Office Manager. Her change in career to being part of a successful building company has involved considerable refocus and required development of new skills. Her previous experiences and strengths in the healthcare industry are applicable to her role as office manager in that she is detail-oriented, prioritises client needs, and supports other members of her team. Kelly is the driving force behind the administrative component of the business, and being part of the day to day running of the business has increased her understanding of the build process and helps assist projects to run smoothly.
BRUCE

Bruce studied at Manukau Institute of Technology, and became trade qualified in 1997. Bruce has experience with New Builds, alterations and renovations in both a commercial and residential capacity. He enjoys training and supporting the development of apprentices, passing on invaluable experience, knowledge and skills. Bruce is a family man with two sons and enjoys fishing, cars, and rugby. Some highlights for him in his building career include: building two homes on Waiheke Island, and constructing a large home on the Great Barrier Island. Bruce has wide reaching experience producing high quality homes and teaching the next generation of quality builders.
VAUGHAN
Site Foreman
Vaughan started an apprenticeship in 1996 after leaving school; he qualified with a cabinet making trade certificate. He then decided he needed another challenge so started his building career in 2006 as an adult apprentice, qualifying in 2011. His building experience comes from residential building; both new builds and renovations.
Vaughan has been working for Sarich Design and Build Ltd since October 2015. For Vaughan, Building and cabinet making has the same thrill which is seeing the finished product and taking pride in what you have achieved and this shows in his workmanship and attention to detail.
Growing up on a farm Vaughan has a love for the outdoors and trys to get out for a deer stalk and a duck shoot (in season) whenever he can.

We will support you with considering materials or products to get the best for your needs.
3. DESIGN
The design phase is where your dream truly begins to evolve. We work alongside our designers and take as much time needed to piece together your dream home. However if you have already chosen or have a strong preference to another professional we are equally happy to work alongside them to achieve the same outstanding result.

This phase is the time to go through concept plans in detail and make adjustments and modifications so that we can deliver what you envision.
