Our Services
NEW BUILDS
New builds can be tricky when starting with a blank canvas. Here at Alabaster Construction, we not only specialise in new builds, we also have a lot of great relationships with various subcontractors. This ensures every inch of your build is covered and completed in a time-efficient manner.
We like to take the stress and guesswork out of building a new home by giving our clients an end-to-end, reliable service. What does this mean? It means we’re here for you from when the architect is putting your ideas down onto paper, right until we hand you the keys to your new dream home. We’ll keep you in the loop at every stage of the process so you’re aware of how your project is progressing.
DUPLEXES &
MULTI-STOREY TOWNHOUSES
Duplex and dual occupancy houses can be a great way to make your money go that little bit further and extend your lifestyle/financial options. Once completed, you may decide to rent the second dwelling and create a passive income stream, sell the second dwelling and cash out, or provide a living space for extended family members, elderly parents or friends.
Whatever the intention is behind the build, whether it’s off the plans or designed by your architect, Alabaster Construction can offer end-to-end design, project management and construction services for your duplex and townhouse dual-occupancy building projects.
No matter what stage you are in the process, we can help to create duplex homes that don’t compromise on quality.
DECKING & FENCING
We can create custom decks and fencing that aren’t just fit for purpose, but stand out.
We build decks of all shapes and sizes which can include built-in seating, inset spa pools, planter boxes and much more. We use a range of timber and can apply various finishes to achieve the exact look you’re after.
Most homeowners view fences from a purely functional mindset, but it can be the first thing a person notices about your house. A fence should ensure security, privacy and compliment both your house and garden.
Working solely with timber can be limiting; we can provide subcontractors for:
- Metalwork
- Glasswork
RETAINING
At Alabaster Construction, we understand that retaining walls do more than just hold back soil—they shape landscapes, create usable space, and provide critical structural support to your home. We offer robust retaining wall solutions tailored to your site’s specific needs, using premium-grade steel or treated timber materials.
Whether you’re managing a sloping section, protecting against erosion, or elevating your outdoor living space, our experienced team delivers workmanship you can trust. Steel retaining walls offer unmatched durability and minimal maintenance—ideal for high-load areas and long-term performance. Prefer a natural look? Our timber retaining walls blend seamlessly into the environment while providing reliable structural integrity.
From design and drainage to construction and compliance, Alabaster Construction handles the entire process with precision and care; built for Wellington conditions.
EARTHWORKS & SOFT LANDSCAPING
We believe a great project starts beneath the surface. Our expert earthworks and soft landscaping services work hand-in-hand to transform raw terrain into beautiful, functional spaces.
Whether you’re preparing a residential section for a new build or enhancing an existing property, our team has the tools and know-how to get the job done right. From site cuts, excavation, trenching, and drainage to soil conditioning, lawn installation, mulching, and planting, we deliver precision at every stage of the process.
Our earthworks services provide a clean, well-prepared canvas, ensuring proper structure, stability, and water flow. Then our soft landscaping team steps in to bring it to life—adding texture, colour, and form with thoughtful, low-maintenance greenery and finishes tailored to your environment.
With a focus on durability, design, and local Wellington conditions, our team makes the transition from groundwork to greenery seamless. We’re not just shaping land—we’re creating spaces that grow with you.
