New Zealand Carpentry Ltd

About

Our focus is on intentional building that takes on the considerations of its occupants as well as the surrounding environment.

New Zealand Carpentry is a family owned business developed by myself, Josh and my wife, Sarah Drummond. I have been building in South Canterbury since 2004. Working with outstanding architects, honing my craft and gathering a hand picked team of exceptional carpenters has culminated in a building company model that I’m really proud of. We strive to achieve not only beautiful builds, on time and on budget but to develop healthy relationships too. As part of this philosophy our team have regular coaching in health, Corporate coaching, career development and overall holistic, self care. We have a unique approach to sustainable building and it is embedded in the way we work from our staff culture of a 4 day working week, through to material selection and site management.

This was recognised with the achievement of Runner up in the Emerging Business Category of our local Business Excellence Awards.

We will apply our skill and expertise in all areas of your project and that starts with getting to know each other. The relationship between builder and client can be evident in the finished product. Our promise to you is that by working collaboratively we will achieve the beautiful home you have worked hard for and have visualised from the outset.

Testimonials

We at Makers are grateful to work alongside NZ Carpentry. Our experience with Josh & his team has only been positive. Their capabilities, organisation, care and energy to achieve a high-quality design outcome for all involved has been exceptional. During the recent construction of a new CLT home in Marahau, I really appreciated the regular photos, updates, and discussions around key details during construction.

Jae Warrander - Director, Makers of Architecture

Thank you Josh, Sarah, Ben and Tak, you are a great team. It’s as though you and the team have a sixth sense for building, renovation and custom improvements. Extremely flexible, professional and punctual, to a level not commonly seen in the building industry, and certainly not in this location. Reducing the complex to simple and genuinely caring about the outcome. My wife and I would highly recommend the NZ Carpentry team for your next build or renovation. The reduction of stress, by way of quality workmanship and professionalism, made all the difference to us at a personal level. Thank you for helping us out in our hour of need.
