Building FAQs in Wellington

Are you planning a renovation or new build? Here are answers to common building questions about our process, costs, and guarantees. We believe in transparency from day one.
Our initial “Project Discovery” meeting is a paid service. This allows us to dedicate time on-site to assess feasibility, review your budget, and identify potential risks before you commit to expensive plans.
Yes, we specialise in hillside construction in Wellington. We have the engineering expertise to manage complex earthworks and retaining walls that other builders avoid.
We provide the independent Halo 10-Year Residential Guarantee through New Zealand Certified Builders. You also receive Tony Hodson’s personal workmanship guarantee and the security of our 284-point quality assurance checklist.
No, we recommend contacting us first. Through our “Early Contractor Involvement” process, we can help align your design ideas with your actual budget before you pay for full architectural drawings.
Yes, we manage all consent questions and the entire Building and Resource Consent process for you. We deal with the Wellington City Council and other local authorities so you don’t have to navigate the “admin chaos” alone.
We primarily service Wellington City (including Kilbirnie, Khandallah, and Thorndon) and the wider region including Lower Hutt, Petone, and Upper Hutt. Note that we do not typically service Eastbourne.
