David’s name is synonymous with home building in New Zealand.

Founded in 1987, David Reid Homes is one of the most awarded residential building companies in New Zealand today. The recipe to this success comes back to basics – listening to what clients want and building a high quality home. Under David’s leadership this company grew from start-up business to becoming a major contributor to New Zealand’s urban landscape, winning more top awards than any other building company in the country.

David sold his shareholdings in David Reid Homes in New Zealand but is still actively involved with this brand in its move into the Australian market. David Reid Homes became New Zealand’s first home grown building company to win national awards both sides of the Tasman.

It was during his time in Australia that David became interested in the potential of precast concrete as a building technology. Precast concrete caught David’s attention because it allows a high quality build to be completed efficiently and without much of the disruption caused by outside influences (such as the weather) – which makes this a big plus in the New Zealand market. This technology is also a major step forward in eco-friendly, sustainable building.

David’s expertise with precast concrete have seen him involved with building projects in the United Kingdom and the Middle East. In particular, David’s innovative solutions have seen him actively involved in the humanitarian effort to rebuild post war Iraq.

David’s expertise was sought to assist in the rebuild program following the Canterbury Earthquakes. Without delay David returned to his home city and set about recruiting a team of skilled professionals which now form Falcon Construction Ltd. Working directly with local and national Government, home owners and the many private firms involved in this massive task – Falcon Construction is set to be a key contributor in the future of our city.

As a sign of confidence in the Falcon Construction precast concrete product – this firm was recently successful in its bid to build 1000 emergency homes in Christchurch within a six month timeframe.
