About Martin

Meet Martin

Martin, Founder and Director of NFL Construction

I'm Martin, the proud owner of NFL Construction Ltd, and my journey in the building industry began at the age of 19 when I built my first shed.

I have always loved working with my hands, which is how I got into building. It took a short stint at Auckland Uni for me to fully realise that training to be a doctor wasn't for me (who knows these things at the tender young age of 17).

Along with sheds, I built fences, decks, greenhouses, garden boxes and all manner of outdoor projects for my earliest clients. Mine was a fast learning curve because I ran my own small business that grew rapidly.

I was keen to get on with life so our children came along when I was only 23, which gave me an even greater need to build my business and earn an income. The opportunity to learn the craft of building from an experienced builder came along at the age of 24 when we built our first home.

In the early 2000's we moved to the Gold Coast, and it prompted me to take a break from outdoor work, because of the heat of the summer sun. My time in Australia gave me time to learn a lot about myself, and I came back to NZ a much more patient person.

I chose to get back into building, getting involved in renovations, decks and all manner of interior and exterior building work. I grew my new business with a different outlook and understanding of the importance of working with my clients.

What sets NFL Construction apart is our dedication to building partnerships with our clients, consultants, and subcontractors. We believe that clear communication and collaboration are key to delivering the highest quality outcomes.

I understand that building your dream home or investment property is a significant journey, and I'm here to guide you through every step. With our comprehensive systems in place, including fortnightly progress reports and quality control checklists, you can trust that your project is in capable hands.

I'm passionate about creating not just structures, but lasting relationships built on trust and respect. So, if you're looking for a builder who genuinely cares about your vision and is committed to making it a reality, let's connect. I'm excited to help you bring your dreams to life.

Meet The Team

Meet Helen & Albert

Helen Urban, Administrative Manager at NFL Construction

Helen Urban

Administrative Manager

Helen has been involved in many of her Dad's businesses over the years, and from a young age. It was here that a hard work ethic was established and she realised the importance of doing your best to support those around you.

This led to a career in film and television, where hard work is at the core of every production — but the hours are not conducive to raising a family. So the opportunity to collaborate in NFL Construction was too good to miss.

Helen enjoys the characters that you meet in the construction industry and the pride that comes with seeing a project come together from start to finish. She won't be on site, but if it involves a spreadsheet, Helen has you covered.

  • You'll find Helen — in the office.
  • Working on — bookkeeping, invoicing and payment claims, managing the construction software and job progress, marketing, insurance, documenting health and safety.
  • Outside of work — Helen enjoys spending time with her partner and two boys, enjoying our beaches, parks and camping, singing in a community choir, going with friends on multi day hikes (the fancy kind).

Albert Taing, Projects Manager at NFL Construction

Albert Taing

Projects Manager

With over 13 years of experience in the building industry, Albert brings a strong foundation in construction and a practical, solutions focused approach to every project. He thrives in the early design stages, helping clients turn ideas into clear, achievable plans, and is known for his ability to problem solve and guide decision making with confidence.

Albert has a particular passion for architecturally unique builds, where creativity and collaboration come together. From bespoke residential homes to large scale commercial developments — his proudest project being the landmark Commercial Bay highrise in Auckland's CBD — he is driven by the challenge of delivering exceptional results from start to finish.

Albert is a Licensed Building Practitioner and holds a Gold level Site Safe qualification as well as a current First Aid certificate. He is fluent in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese.

  • You'll find Albert — on site, in the office, collecting materials, meeting clients.
  • Working on — managing the schedule and budget, your touchstone for site progress, forward planning for upcoming project stages, overseeing quality control.
  • Outside of work — you'll likely find Albert near the water, fishing. For Albert, Auckland offers the perfect balance of a fast paced working environment and an outdoors lifestyle, with easy access to beaches, bush, and a close knit community.

How We Work With You

A Clear, Honest Process From Start To Finish

Every project follows the same transparent process, so you always know what's happening and why.

01

Consultation

We start by understanding your needs, goals, budget, timeline and vision — listening carefully and offering guidance based on real experience.

02

Concept & Design Phase

Our designers and architects collaborate with you to create a concept suited to your site and budget, considering buildability and your vision from the outset. Estimated pricing helps align vision with budget before detailed quoting begins.

03

Preliminary Contract

Our preliminary agreement represents a mutual commitment to move forward together, allowing us to begin detailed pricing by coordinating with trusted suppliers and subcontractors.

04

Detailed Quoting

We provide a comprehensive, line by line quote that breaks down every element in plain language — scope of works, build schedule and payment schedule, typically taking up to five weeks depending on plan complexity.

05

Signed Contract

As New Zealand Certified Builder members, we use their contracts, which may include the 10 year Halo Guarantee. Everything remains documented with complete clarity.

06

Build Begins

Our trusted team gets to work, and you'll stay fully informed throughout — with build portal access for fortnightly updates, schedule tracking, plan access and site photos. Any variations that come up along the way are identified, discussed, quoted and agreed with you before work begins — no surprises at invoicing time.

07

Payment Terms

Payment frequency and terms are clearly outlined in your quote and contract, varying by project size.

08

Handover & Ongoing Support

We conduct a comprehensive walkthrough at project completion, and provide ongoing support — standing behind our workmanship well beyond handover.
