About Fair & Square

Talofa lava

My name is Galu (pronounced ngaa-luu) Letiu. I am a Licensed Building Practitioner with over 25 years of experience in the industry, and the founder of Fair & Square Building Services Limited.

We are a small, innovative building company based in Wellington and specialising in new residential and home renovations.

My partner in both life and business, Catherine, and I have four children and two grandchildren. Each of them are growing at their different stages of life, studying, building careers and navigating family life.

Our business truly is a family operation, with Catherine and our daughter Liana running the administration, and having had our other kids onboard with the team at various stages.

Having worked in a much larger construction business for 15 years, I felt drawn to forming a smaller company with the aim of delivering a personal approach to, not only our clients, but also our staff. Being a dedicated 1st XV Rugby coach at a local college for a few years, I was inspired to implement a more hands-on approach through “coaching” our staff at their respective skill-levels with the ultimate goal of helping them become great builders.

We put the time and thought into fostering good work relationships, supporting physical and mental health and starting all our workers on the at-present Living Wage – the positive results of this are reflected in our successful projects and satisfied clients.

For many years, we have worked closely with Gateway and Mana in Mahi programmes at helping younger workers get into practical work that they can build into a career as they learn. Seeing people in our team reach their qualifications as builders is rewarding and inspiring, but also contributes to the larger picture, which shows an ever-growing demand for construction workers in Aotearoa.

The role of building has become increasingly important in recent years, and more rapidly so during the time of COVID-19 and the national housing crisis.

"We understand from experience that building a new home or renovating is often the biggest investment for people; not only of money, but also time, energy and heart. Our goal at Fair & Square is to make that process as easy, informative and satisfactory for you as possible."
