In 1951, an engineering innovation developed in New Zealand took its first steps toward revolutionising the country’s building industry. With it, a Kiwi icon was born. For over 6 decades, Lockwood has taken pride in producing individual homes and commercial buildings for clients in New Zealand and around the world. Originally developed and patented by Dutch-born architect and engineer, Jo La Grouw Snr, as a residential construction alternative for the New Zealand domestic market, Lockwood still enjoys an unsurpassed reputation as a provider of premium quality timber homes and buildings and has become an iconic name in the industry. The Lockwood Building System has gone on to prove its adaptability and performance credentials in a wide range of Residential and Commercial buildings around the globe. The precisely machined components that form our homes and buildings are manufactured in Rotorua, New Zealand at our production facilities, to exacting standards. Our team of skilled craftsmen are committed to consistent quality and production standards, with a deep sense of pride in this family owned business and to the final outcome of a safe, secure and quality living experience for our valued clients. From the simplest to the most contemporary architectural applications, the system offers high design flexibility. Lockwood’s internationally acknowledged expertise in the design and fabrication of laminated timber beams and other specialised building components, adds further depth to the system’s unique design flexibility. Lockwood creates naturally superior solid timber homes and buildings - for the good of the families that live in them, communities that study, worship, meet, celebrate or convalesce in them; and for the good of our environment.
