Rolleston is Selwyn's largest town and home to the district council. We build new homes, extensions, decks and bathrooms here, from established streets near the town centre to newer subdivisions like Faringdon.

Local knowledge
Building in Rolleston
Council in town
Selwyn District Council's main office is in Rolleston, and it handles consents, inspections and code compliance certificates for the town.
Newer subdivisions
Much of Rolleston has been built since the mid-2000s, and many subdivisions carry covenants. Extensions, decks and fences have to fit those rules as well as the council's.
Open to the wind
Rolleston sits on open plains with little shelter from the nor'wester. Deck placement, pergola bracing and windbreaks all take that into account.
Inland frosts
Winter frosts here are harder than in the city. Outdoor timber needs good drainage, and new builds benefit from careful insulation and airtightness.
