Fix It Christchurch is part of the Fix It Building Services nationwide franchise network. We've existed in Christchurch for over a decade as a renovations and repairs provider and whole home builder. Since the Christchurch Earthqaukes in 2010 and 2011 much of our business has come from Earthquake Repairs and as the leading provider of EQC Opt-Out services in Christchurch we're proud to say we've repaired over 600 earthquake damaged homes! Fix It Christchurch is independently owned and operated by Jay Goodenbour. Jay is a qualified Project Manager and previously was the Chief Operating Officer at Carter Holt Harvey. THE FIX IT BUILDING SERVICES STORY The idea for FIX IT Building Services came from Carters, part of the giant Carter Holt Harvey group, which in 2002 saw Fix It as an opportunity to provide a full building maintenance and installation “solution” – rather than just products – for their customers. The FIX IT concept had already been running successfully in the Bay of Plenty for twelve years. In 2003, Gavin Hunt of Signature Homes and Robin La Pere, a franchise consultant, recognised the potential for the FIX IT concept to fill an enormous gap in the market for renovations and building repairs. They felt their experience in the building and franchising industries would add substantial value to FIX IT, so they purchased the business from Carters. Since then, the FIX IT network has really taken off, growing to 12 franchises covering more than 50 franchise territories from Whangarei to Christchurch. In 2008, Robin La Pere and Russell Poole, one of Fix It's senior management team, completed a management buy-out of the company and moved the head office to Wellington.
