Craig Duffy
Managing Director

I have been in the building and construction industry for the past 30 years. After completing my degree in Property Administration from the University of Auckland, my first job was as a Site Manager in the commercial construction sector, and I’ve been in the building and property industry ever since.

At 445 our team tackles property weathertightness projects when others may not. If we need to pull in an extra helping pair of hands, we have experienced tradespeople, subcontractors and suppliers we know we can rely on. Whether you are a home owner, investor, manager of body corporates, or property manager for commercial premises, Four Four Five are the exterior remediation experts to help you.

Leaky homes

Do you own and/or live in a property built in the ‘leaky home’ era between 1995-2004, or the poorly constructed homes of more recent times? These properties have a risk of leaking. If your home is one of these and is experiencing just one of these common leaky home problems, you’ll need a robust solution, and that’s where 445 can help.
