And the winner is …

We love celebrating any achievement at DWL and this little guy is no exception. Although he appears confused about all the attention and treats, we appreciate all the love and support from everyone who has a soft spot for G Dog

Handover…

It’s no secret that things don’t always go to plan in the construction industry. What’s important for the DWL team is to deliver exactly what the client wanted regardless of hiccups along the way. We’ve now handed over this beautiful new home to Neville & Linda and thank you both for working along side us at DWL. It’s been a pleasure.

DWL Mascot G-Dog is up for Napier’s next top dog model! Get your votes/likes in now for this wee man about town.

I’m Gordon, but most people know me as G Dog 😎 I’ve been a Napier local for 7.5 years now and I’ve fully committed to my role as a certified man about town.

I enjoy the finer things in life: cafés, bars, and anywhere I can casually deploy my charm until someone decides I absolutely deserve a treat. It’s not manipulation, it’s networking.

Walks are an important part of my social schedule. I use them to catch up with my mates, check my “wee mails”, and attend to the usual duties of a dog.

Over the years I’ve built a very solid local following on my walks. Some of my human friends even come prepared with treats “just in case” we cross paths. I respect that level of devotion to yours truly.

My daily routine is simple: food, people, more food. But as long as I’m with my people, I’m exactly where I’m meant to be.

Vote Gordon for Napier’s Next Dog Model!

Meant to be …

The section was purchased and the plan drawn for this house in Parklands. Then along game our client with their own plan / ideas so now we’re building their home not our house. A client that has worked with DWL from the start proving our ties and loyalty run deep. After 20 plus years in their current home we couldn’t be prouder to work with them on their next chapter.

Part of the Process…

Our clients are as busy as us and with their new build sites buzzing with tradies during the week DWL reserves Saturday mornings for the all important client walk arounds. That said it’s always coffee first and then a good opportunity to talk build progress, timelines, changes or just show off the good work done by the team. We believe the journeys important and client input is critical to the process.

Handover Day…

A very big push over the last 2 weeks has seen the deadline achieved. Today we handed over our first Mission Hills home and we are thrilled with the finished product. A beautifully crafted home designed by our clients with every space thought out to best suit their requirements. A credit to the DWL team, reflecting their commitment to quality and delivering on time.

Work Life Balance…

We took time out yesterday to participate in the Land Rover Off Road Experience thanks to the team at Bayswater European. Although the Land Rovers were impressive, the star of the show was the Hawke’s Bay landscape. Experiencing the new Te Weka Estate first hand was fantastic …. And a great distraction from the thought of rolling a new defender

Rested & Ready

Following some much needed time out the team are back on board and have hit the ground running. Frames up on some sites, floors being prep’d and internals underway. Some projects in ready to start and others in for consent…2026 is shaping up to be a busy year.

2025…

If this year has taught us anything, it’s that things don’t always go to plan. As we wrap up the year, G Dog is home and recovering from a second leg operation — complete with a toy he chose straight off the shelf 🤦‍♂️.

It hasn’t been without its challenges, but we’ve made it through 2025 stronger for it. The DWL team pushed on by showing up, caring, and continuing to deliver for our clients, and I couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve achieved together.

Now it’s time to rest, recharge, and enjoy some well-earned time off. We’ll see you in 2026, and as always, thank you for your continued support of DWL.

Happy Holidays

Handover …..

That’s a wrap on 2 Mohaka St and the last new home to be handed over for 2025. In a first for DWL, a change in circumstance means our lovely clients won’t be moving in so keep an eye out for this one hitting the market. Someone else now has the chance to own this fantastic Parklands home without waiting to build. All done and ready to go.
