Builder in Christchurch
We're based in Christchurch and build across the city, from hillside sections on the Port Hills to villas in the inner suburbs and newer homes on the city's edges.

Local knowledge
Building in Christchurch
Christchurch City Council
Building consents, inspections and code compliance certificates in the city go through Christchurch City Council. District Plan rules on height, boundaries and site coverage apply too, and some streets sit in character or heritage areas.
Land on the flat
Most residential land on the flat was given a technical category (TC1, TC2 or TC3) after the earthquakes. It decides what foundations a new build or extension needs, so it is checked first.
The Port Hills
Hillside sections in suburbs like Cashmere, Huntsbury and Mount Pleasant bring slopes, retaining, tight access and more wind. Decks there often need taller piles and a balustrade.
Older houses
Renovating villas and bungalows in suburbs like St Albans, Merivale, Spreydon and Sydenham often turns up old repairs, uneven floors and uninsulated walls. The quote plans for them.
Suburbs we work in
Cashmere, Halswell, Riccarton, St Albans, Merivale, Papanui, Burnside, Sydenham, Spreydon, Beckenham, Sumner, New Brighton, Shirley, Hornby and the rest of the city.
