A spirit of energy and style in the building industry
Whilst our prime goal is about delighting you and bringing unrivaled pleasure with living spaces that come alive, we thought we would take this opportunity to tell you a little about Pzazz Building.
Introducing Pzazz Building
In 2003, the name Fix It Building Services stood for quality, service and a new level of trust in the residential building industry.
Two years later we introduced the name Fix It Renovations to better reflect the larger-scale home renovation & extension projects we were involved in. But the name just didn't convey the sense of style and flair we put into these projects.
So in 2012 we came up with a new name for that part of our business - Pzazz Building. The word pzazz stands for spirit, panache and energy - just like we do.
When you're looking for something a little different, something a little special for your home, look out for Pzazz Building and our logo that represents the aforementioned spirit, panache and energy
Two things will never change
- Our commitment to understand and meet your needs, through quality, service and trustworthiness in our Pzazz business
- The name Fix It Building Services, which will remain the name of our repair, maintenance and restoration division
For some inspiration on making your living spaces come alive, visit our gallery page. You'll find both recent work completed for our customers and loads of insights and ideas from New Zealand and around the world.
We look forward to being of service.
