Who we are

V Build Steel Structures is a New Zealand structural steel company, operating under the legal entity V-Builders Limited, incorporated on 18 January 2022. We design, fabricate and erect engineered steel frames and portal frame buildings for commercial, industrial and specialised projects across Aotearoa. Our specialty is Pre-Engineered Building (PEB) systems, supported by structural steel, roofing and supporting structures.

We look after the whole project in one place, from early advice and budgeting through to engineering, fabrication and on-site erection. That means fewer handovers, clearer accountability and one team answering for the result.

Our engineering is carried out to New Zealand standards, including NZS 3404 for steel structures and NZS 1170 for wind, snow and seismic loads, and we are committed to providing PS1 Producer Statements and seismic integrity on every build. Every project is designed to be safe, certified and built to last.

We are led by founder and Managing Director Shan Shaji Kumar, who brings extensive construction and business management experience, supported by a team of engineers, project managers and site supervisors who know how steel behaves in New Zealand conditions.
