He has over 300 sqm of sheds which he has modified and built to now contain, a gym, workshop, bar, office, games room and extensive space to store things that could come in handy one day.

He is married to Farida and they have three teenagers who keep them busy outside of work at the hockey turf playing and coaching. Jason is always happy to listen to your ideas and help turn them into a plan and make your shed dreams happen.

Proud of a great Team that is committed to delivering great results to our customers.

I have been in the construction industry for the past 8 years, owning my own Window & Door factory for a number of years and before joining Waikato Sheds I was Construction/Project Manager for a couple of years for a residential building company.

When not at work you can find me at home in Paeroa recycling Pallets into outdoor furniture, or heavily involved in Family life, my teenage son keeps me very busy being his Uber on the Plains.
