Kiwi Suzannah

Dennis Dowling
Founder & Managing Director
Dennis' first job in construction was at the tender age of 16. By the time he turned 26, he was running commercial projects with over 220 persons on-site on any given day.
His leadership and management skills have seen him spend nearly his entire time in construction doing technical projects, that were either challenging in their complexity or timing, working in six countries and two States. Working in jungles building roads, through to adding a 26th floor to a building in Los Angeles - his experience and knowledge is vast. It’s Dennis' strong belief in honesty and communication, and this breadth of experience which eventually led to the opportunity to work as an Expert Witness in New Zealand.
While his career has taken him to many different roles in the construction industry, he has never lost the passion to make every project better when he has finished with it, than where it started.
Every single touch point in a project influences its success.
Dennis' mantra emanates the driving force behind DCD; we build warm, solid, enduring homes, that have just as much care taken to put together what you can’t see, as the parts that you can appreciate.
Erin
Project Administrator
Responsible for much of the detailed selection process, Erin coordinates between clients, interior designers and interior fit-out suppliers to ensure the right product, selection and finish arrives on site, on time. Working closely alongside both Dennis & Annabelle, Erin is involved in every new home build right from the start, until the final Code of Compliance application is completed.
