Rod is a Master Craftsman Builder and has a Nation-Wide reputation for outstanding quality.

His origin stems from Marton, a town in the Rangitikei region of the lower North Island, New Zealand. It was in Marton during the 1970's that Rod took over the running of the family company, Percival & Sons Limited after having completed his apprenticeship, Rod and his younger brother Chris worked together with their father, Patrick and developed a reputation for outstanding quality and exceptional attention to detail - Qualities that are the backbone and philosophy of Rod today.

Rod then moved to Whitianga, he built on a small scale (single projects) with two to three staff members for approximately eight years. However, it wasn't long before Rod was once again at the forefront of quality, service and innovation and had developed a reputation that was gaining awareness nationwide. Maintaining a focus on innovative, architectural homes, Rod also recognised the market's need for lower-cost beach cottages. To put it simply - The good old Kiwi Beach Bach.

In addition, continual growth in the town centre resulted in Rod applying his knowledge and expertise to several light commercial buildings and his first fully equipped waterfront restaurant, On the Rocks. He then designed and built the FirePlace Restaurant on the waterfront.

The late 1990's spelt phenomenal growth for the Coromandel region and subsequently the building industry. Capitalising on the rapid development of Matarangi Beach Estate - a lifestyle resort 30 kilometres north of Whitianga, Rod engaged in several high profile, architectural projects including a Francis Clarke designed home for Dr Marcus and Sheree Stone of Auckland. Completed in 1998, Rod entered the home along with three others into the Registered Master Builders House of the Year Awards. The home launched Rod into the industry spotlight, taking first place in it's category as well as the coveted Supreme Award for the Auckland/Northern Region. In September of that year, this outstanding project won first place for Category 5 at the New Zealand House of the Year Awards. Rod Percival became an industry household name throughout the country, since then he has won many more awards including National Supreme Winner overall in 2002. Rod went on winning many many awards and was the First Builder in New Zealand to win FIVE NATIONAL CATEGORIES IN THE HOUSE OF THE YEAR AWARDS!!!
