Fletcher Construction

In January 1911 they revitalised the firm with a bit more financial acumen, building houses in Abbotsford and south Dunedin.

[5] In the summer of 1911 the firm was joined by James' brother William John Fletcher, who was a trained stonemason.

[6] The company was renamed Fletcher Brothers in May 1912 after the departure of Bert Morris, who took fright at their first truly large project: Knox College, Otago.

In 1917 they renewed their link to architects Mason & Wales in the building of the 102 bed Nurses Home for Otago Hospital.

[3] In 1942, following the resignation of his father to help New Zealand's war effort, James Fletcher junior became managing director of the company.
