Crafting Timeless Spaces in Wanaka , Queenstown and Central Otago
At Prima Build, we’re a husband and wife team ,Livia and Darren Warren , based here in Wānaka. We specialise in high-quality renovations that blend the charm of existing homes with the practicality and style of modern living.
Darren’s been a builder with over 20 years of hands-on experience, known for his attention to detail and top-notch workmanship. Livia brings her eye for timeless design, practical product knowledge, and advanced 3D rendering skills to help clients visualise their space before the work begins.
We know that in a place like Central Otago, trust means everything. That’s why we keep our process personal, straightforward, and built around genuine relationships. From the first conversation to the final handover, we take pride in making the renovation journey smooth, transparent, and tailored to you.
We Call Wānaka Home
We’ve made our life and business here in Wānaka, and we’re proud to be part of this community. We take the time to understand the homes, the climate, and the way people live in Central Otago – and we bring that care and insight into every renovation we do.
Husband & Wife, Start to Finish
With Darren on the tools and Livia on design, you get a hands-on team from start to finish. There’s no passing the buck , just clear communication, practical experience, and a shared commitment to getting things done right.
No Fuss, Just Quality
We believe in doing things the right way – with clear communication, reliable timelines, and solid craftsmanship. We work closely with a network of trusted local subtrades who take as much pride in their work as we do, so you can feel confident knowing your home is in good hands from start to finish.
Your Home, Your Way
Our job is to help guide you through the renovation process – bringing all your ideas together to create a space that truly reflects you and how you live. Whether you're wanting to keep the charm of an older home or add some modern touches, we’re here to make the process as enjoyable and stress-free as possible, every step of the way.
Why Choose Us
Where to start?
Book an Initial Consultation
Our process begins with a 90-minute on-site consultation with both Darren and me. We’ll assess your home and discuss the scope, functionality, lifestyle needs, and budget. You’ll receive expert guidance, inspiration, and clarity on what’s possible. After our visit, we create a tailored 3D design of your space and present it to you in person , all included in the consultation fee.
You have done such an amazing job with our bungalow renovation; we are so happy with it and it is just how we hoped and imagined it would be.
We could never have thought a renovation could be this stress free and we put that down to your careful planning and consistently keeping us informed. We have found you to be meticulous, working to a very high standard, and expecting the same from all your tradies.
Chris and Kim
Livia and Darren, you’ve completely transformed our home from dark and dated to fresh, bright, functional, and modern and become great friends in the process. We absolutely love our new bathrooms and our bright functional new kitchen. The whole process was stress free.
Kerry
The tradesmen that Darren uses were also top notch – as I live in an apartment block, I did have to consider my neighbours and had absolutely no complaints- Darren is a very tidy measured person and I was thrilled with the outcome – on time on budget and would highly recommend them to anyone considering a renovation.
