Built on Experience. Grounded in Trust.
Trubet is a family-owned building and maintenance business based in Richmond, proudly serving Nelson, Tasman, Golden Bay, Murchison, and St Arnaud.
Since 1984, we’ve been helping people across the region build, improve, and maintain their homes, properties, and spaces with confidence. Over the years, Trubet has become a trusted local name, known for quality workmanship, practical experience, and a commitment to work that lasts.
From new homes and renovations to maintenance, accessible modifications, garages, garage doors, gates, and fencing, we bring decades of hands-on knowledge to every project.
Our story
Trubet began as a local family business in 1984, and more than 40 years later, that foundation still shapes the way we work today.
Over the years, we’ve completed more than 3,500 consented building and renovation projects across the region, building long-standing relationships with clients who value reliable service, honest advice, and work that lasts.
In 2025, the business moved into the next generation of family leadership. While the leadership has evolved, the values behind Trubet have stayed the same — quality workmanship, genuine care, and pride in a job well done.
The way we work
We believe good building work starts with trust.
Whether we’re building something new, carrying out a renovation, helping with repairs, or improving the way a home works, we understand that people are relying on us to deliver work that is thoughtful, durable, and done with care.
That’s why we focus on quality over quantity. We take a hands-on approach to every job and aim to build strong, long-term relationships with the people we work with.
Local work, local knowledge
Local knowledge shapes the way we work.
We understand the region, the communities within it, and the day-to-day needs that come with building and maintaining properties across a wide range of locations and conditions. Our work takes us throughout Nelson, Tasman, Golden Bay, Murchison, and St Arnaud, and we’re proud to be part of the wider Top of the South building landscape.
Because our team works across a broad range of services, clients can come to Trubet for everything from building and renovations to maintenance, garages, garage doors, gates, fencing, and balustrades — all backed by local experience and a commitment to high standards.
Building responsibly
We also believe in taking a practical approach to sustainability.
For more than 25 years, Trubet has worked to reduce waste by sorting materials at our yard for reuse or recycling, rather than relying solely on on-site skips. It’s a long-standing part of how we work and reflects the way we think about building, not just what we create, but how we go about it.
For us, responsible building means making thoughtful choices, reducing waste where we can, and taking pride in doing things well.
Built to last
More than four decades on, Trubet remains focused on the same things that mattered from the beginning — solid workmanship, service, and being a business local people know they can rely on. Whether you’re planning a new project, upgrading an existing space, or looking for a trusted team to help maintain your property, we’re here to help.
