We’ve cut the fluff and guesswork so you can feel confident from quote to completion. Here’s how it works:
We come to you
No surprises, no vague numbers
We get to work — you stay informed
We hand over your new space, and plant a native tree in your honour
Most projects are completed in 1 to 2 weeks, depending on the size, complexity, and materials involved.
Here’s a rough guide:
Standard timber fences: 2-4 days
Decking builds: 5-7 days
Pergolas & custom structures: 1-2 weeks
Cabins or minor dwellings: 2-3 weeks (plus prep/consent time if needed)
We’ll give you a timeline estimate with your quote and we stick to it. No dragging things out or hopping between jobs. We also aim to keep your site tidy each day so you’re not living in a construction zone.
That depends on what you’re building but we’ll guide you through it.
Here’s a general breakdown:
Fences under 2m high: usually don’t require consent
Decks under 1.5m high: typically don’t need consent, but must meet code
Pergolas without a roof: often exempt
Roofed structures (like sunrooms, carports, or cabins): likely require consent
Retaining walls over 1.5m or near boundaries: usually need consent
Don’t stress when we visit your site, we’ll flag anything that may require approval. We’re used to working with local councils across Wellington, and if consents are needed, we can help handle the paperwork or refer you to a trusted planner or draughtsperson.
