Concept 2 Construction

Concept 2 Construction Architectural home builders in Christchurch & Port Hills. New builds & renovations. Licensed Building Practitioner | Registered Master Builder.

Concept 2 Construction was founded by Tim Lowe, who grew up on a farm in Hinds where a large historic homestead sparked his fascination with building. That early curiosity grew into a lifelong passion for construction. Over the past 20 years, Tim has built many architectural homes in some of Christchurch's most sought-after locations, as well as delivering intricate post-quake rebuilds on the Port

Hills. Today, Concept 2 Construction specialises in high-end architectural new builds and renovations – creating homes that reflect the dreams and lifestyles of the people who live in them. Many of our clients have become lifelong friends, and we take pride in maintaining those connections long after the last nail is driven.

"We can’t thank Tim and the Concept 2 Construction team enough for everything you have done for us. After five months of uncertainty when our previous build company was unable to complete our home, we felt lost and anxious about the future of our build. From the moment your team took over at the framing stage we felt supported every day. Your onsite chats and regular updates gave us confidence and turned what was a stressful experience into an enjoyable one—we especially appreciated how you always made time to answer our questions and offer your vastly experienced creative alternatives and solutions. Nothing was a problem!

Working with you was great! Your honesty, creativity, and the outstanding quality of workmanship exceeded our expectations, and the end result is a beautiful home we are incredibly proud of. We are deeply grateful not only for your dedication but also for the lasting friendship that has grown from this collaboration. We recommend Concept 2 Construction to anyone thinking of building.

Thank you again, Tim, for making our dream home a reality and for making the journey such a positive one."

-Corien and Gary Oliver

Building a home fit for champions!

We had the absolute pleasure of bringing Gary and Corien's beautiful Christchurch home to life.

For Gary, a New Zealand billiards champion of over 20 years, and Corien, the New Zealand Women’s pool champion, their home needed to be more than just a place to live—it had to be a true reflection of their passion. We thoughtfully customized this space to perfectly suit their love of the game.

The best part? Delivering a smooth and enjoyable build process so they could focus on what they do best. They couldn’t be happier living in a space designed just for them, and we couldn't be prouder to have brought their vision to life!

We always look back on our two-townhouse project on Idris Road with immense pride. Delivering a high-end finish while keeping the process entirely stress-free for the homeowner is exactly what we strive for on every single build.

Read Duncan’s full experience working with our team below:

“The build process with Concept 2 Construction was outstanding from start to finish. When we began the project, I had clear goals – a high-end finish delivered on time and within budget. They exceeded every expectation.

Right from the early planning stages, the team communicated clearly and regularly, outlining the programme, budget allowances and key decisions well in advance. I always felt informed and in control, without being overwhelmed. Their detailed scheduling meant that every stage flowed seamlessly and it was obvious they had strong relationships with their sub-contractors. Trades arrived when expected, work progressed steadily and there was never a sense of rushing or cutting corners.

What impressed me most was the balance they achieved between efficiency and craftsmanship. Even with a firm timeline, the attention to detail was exceptional. Every junction, finish, and product choice reflected the standard we were aiming for. Any variations were transparent, fairly priced and discussed before proceeding, which allowed the budget to stay on track.

As the home came together, I felt confident I had chosen the right team. We finished exactly when promised, within the expected budget and with a result that feels architecturally refined and impeccably built. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”

"My build with Concept 2 Construction was one of the most rewarding experiences I've had." -Roger Kemp

Following up on our last post showcasing the Kemp House in Lyttelton, we wanted to share a bit about the experience straight from the homeowner, Roger.

Complex architectural designs require absolute precision—intricate junctions, unusual material combinations, and difficult structural details. It takes a team that is patient, creative, and communicative to pull it off without a hitch.

For us, there is no better feeling than handing over the keys to a client who felt heard and supported every step of the way. Thank you, Roger, for trusting us with your incredible vision!

A steep, untouched Lyttelton hillside. A 50-metre driveway. And a bridge capable of holding a 28-tonne concrete truck—just to start construction.

Welcome to the Kemp House.

Designed by Common Architecture and brought to life by our team, this 156m² architectural build is a masterclass in blending design with a challenging landscape.

Here are a few details that make this home so special:

The Structure: Steel portals, a timber floor, and a half-concrete slab over a block retaining wall.
The Materials: Clad in stunning cedar, with recycled Rimu used for the floors and ceilings.
The Environment: Built with 140mm framing, wool insulation, and a 45mm service cavity to allow the house to breathe naturally.

We love taking on complex builds that turn heads, and this one was a true pleasure from start to finish.
