We specialise in residential building work, including new builds, major renovations, extensions, and secondary dwellings (including granny flats). We focus on projects where quality, communication, and long-term performance matter.

We prioritise projects that require planning, coordination, and skilled workmanship. While we occasionally take on smaller scoped renovations, we’re best suited to medium to large residential projects rather than quick fixes or handyman-style work.

Yes. Chris has a certificate in Carpentry and is a Licensed Building Practitioner (LBP), and Land & Co. Building is fully insured. We take compliance seriously and build to the current NZ Building Code standards.

We’re based in the Nelson–Tasman region and work throughout the wider Tasman District and Nelson area.

Most projects follow this flow:

1. Initial enquiry

2. Phone call to understand your goals and site

3. Site visit

4. Quoting and scope confirmation

5. Contract and scheduling

6. Build phase with clear communication throughout

We aim to remove guesswork early so projects run smoothly later.

For straightforward, well-defined projects, we may provide a no-obligation quote after a site visit.
For early-stage, complex, or feasibility-based work (including some granny flat enquiries), we may charge for our time. This ensures advice is thorough, accurate, and genuinely useful.

Yes, but with boundaries. We’re happy to be involved early to assess feasibility, costs, and constraints, provided there’s a clear intention to move forward. We’re not suited to speculative or “just seeing what’s possible” enquiries without some commitment. In these cases we may charge for the quote and this price can be taken off our bill if you choose us as your builder.

Yes. We work alongside architects, designers, and engineers, and we’re also happy to recommend professionals if you don’t already have someone engaged.
