Builder in Kaiapoi
Kaiapoi was one of the towns hit hardest by the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes, and much of it has been rebuilt since. We build new homes, extensions, decks and bathrooms in Kaiapoi and nearby Pines Beach and Kairaki.

Local knowledge
Building in Kaiapoi
Ground conditions
Much of Kaiapoi liquefied in the earthquakes, and parts of the town are classed TC3. New builds and extensions there usually need a geotechnical report and engineer-designed foundations.
Rebuilt neighbourhoods
Subdivisions like Silverstream were built after the earthquakes. Newer homes there suit decks, pergolas and bathroom upgrades.
River and coast
Homes near the Kaiapoi River, Pines Beach and Kairaki face damp, salty air. Stainless fixings and good drainage under decks help timber last.
Waimakariri District Council
Consents and inspections go through Waimakariri District Council in Rangiora.
