A little project for one of our own this time 👌

Luke recently upgraded his work truck and built himself a custom fit-out for the back.

Built from scratch to make the most of the space, with plenty of storage to keep his tools and gear organised and make life on site a little easier.

A few late nights went into getting this one finished, but it’s come up pretty tidy!

If you’ve got a work vehicle, whether it be a van, ute or truck, that could do with a custom fit-out of its own, get in touch — we’d be happy to have a chat about what we could put together for you.

Luke’s new work truck got a bit of an upgrade, more of this one coming tonight! 👌

A closer look at our recently completed feature wall project in Selwyn.

This project involved transforming an existing wall into a custom feature for the living space, complete with timber-look panelling, a built-in TV area and an open slatted divider to help define the space.

Our team completed the framing modifications, structural backing for the TV, concealed cable and power provisions, installation of the wall panelling, TV mounting and finishing details.

The finished design adds a modern touch and plenty of character, while still keeping the living area feeling open and connected.

We're really pleased with the finished result and how much it's changed the feel of this space. 👌

A pretty impressive transformation from one very plain wall 👌

We recently completed this feature wall, adding timber-look panelling, a built-in TV area and slatted divider to create a completely new look for the living space.

Really happy with how this one turned out!

Every home is different, but every job deserves the same level of care and attention to detail.

For this one, we rebuilt a worn set of concrete steps, strengthened the retaining wall, and installed a new timber balustrade to create safer, more practical access to the home.

The new concrete steps were reinforced with steel mesh and D12 reinforcing before being finished with a non-slip textured surface, then acid washed and sealed for a clean, durable finish.

The timber balustrade ties it all together, providing a solid handrail while giving the entrance a tidy, modern finish.

If you're planning a similar project, we'd love to help.

Not every building repair is obvious once the job is finished—but they're often the ones that matter most. 👌

This floor had started to slump due to deteriorated framing underneath, so we removed the damaged section and rebuilt it back to a safe, solid and level floor.

We believe in getting the structure right the first time, so our clients can have confidence that the work is built to last.

Sometimes the biggest improvements are the ones hidden beneath the floor. 👌

We removed the damaged framing, rebuilt the structure, and left our client with a solid, level floor that's built to last.

Need repairs or renovations? We'd love to help.

It's been great seeing this area come together over the past few weeks.

We've built a new deck with stepped access from the house, along with new cladding and finishing details on the existing building to help bring the whole space together.

It's already becoming a fantastic outdoor space for our clients to enjoy.

We've still got more work to do on this project, and we're looking forward to sharing the completed transformation with you.
