NZ Builder // Josh Chapman
I’m Josh — a builder, business owner, and Kiwi dad who shares what it actually takes to build homes in New Zealand.
I dropped out of school at 16, scrubbed toilets at Macca’s, and built my way up through hard lessons, big mistakes, and a drive to do things better.
This channel documents the real side of building — from dodgy sites and budget blowouts to time-lapses, team talk, and getting it done. I don’t pretend to have all the answers. But if you’re building, running a trade, or just love seeing how things come together — you’re in the right place.
Welcome to the story behind the builds.
