Our Team
Your building partner to realise your dreams.
Ensuring our clients are delighted with their new homes is our main driver and the reason we get up and go to work each morning.
The homes that we have been lucky enough to build for our clients have often been in difficult locations, and required intricate planning, forward-thinking and precise workmanship: the stuff our team of licensed building practitioners at Frontier Construction just loves to do.
He Tangata, He Tangata, He Tangata
It is the people, the people, the people and our people are our biggest asset. We pride ourselves on our high quality of workmanship, customer service and we value our staff and reputation. Frontier Construction only builds with the best tradespeople, specialists and a handpicked team of licensed building practitioners and apprentices with a commitment to excellence.
Meet The Team
Darryn Patterson
Owner, LBP
After spending several years project managing, overseeing other licensed building practitioners and providing labour-only services for many complicated, architectural builds throughout Auckland and surrounding districts, Darryn Patterson founded Frontier Construction in 2008.
The very first project Frontier Construction undertook won a Gold Award at the Master Builder’s House of the Year Awards.
A born and bred West Aucklander, Darryn is the first to tell you he is motivated by people telling him he can’t do something. That merely presents him with the challenge to find a way to do it, which is why he is so good at thinking outside the box.
Darryn started his building apprenticeship at age 17, before taking off on his big OE at 21. While travelling in Australia and North America, Darryn shore 1,000s of sheep, drove road trains, mustered, worked on cattle ranches and maintained waterholes with diggers and bulldozers. He then settled in Whangarei before moving back to Auckland a ‘married grown-up’ in 2011. Now the father of three, he loves family time, yet still manages to fit in mountain biking, a bit of hunting and maintaining 30 beehives in gardens around Massey.
Brennan Powers
Builder
Brennan joined Frontier Construction in July 2021 as a Builder and is Darryn’s right hand man, managing the team and site in Darryn’s absence.
Brennan trained as a Builder in NZ and finished his apprenticeship in 2012. He has travelled extensively and worked as a Builder in the UK and Australia.
Brennan enjoys the physical and mental challenge of the job and everyday being different. Being part of a team that work and get along together is important to him.
In his spare time you’ll find Brennan out on the water surfing and fishing.
Jane Conway
Office Manager
Jane was a client before she joined Frontier Construction back in 2017. The systems, processes and job management software she has implemented since coming to work with us have improved our business processes, allowing us to provide clearer quotes, keep accurate records, reduce paperwork and improve our administrative efficiencies overall. We’d be lost without her.
A big rugby fan, when she’s not on the sidelines watching her children play sports, Jane can be found baking up a storm in the kitchen or out running.
