Premium Hardwood Decking Titirangi by TrickyBuilds

Builder in Titirangi

Titirangi is unlike any other suburb in West Auckland, with steep bush sections, architectural homes, high rainfall, and unique layouts.

 

If you’re looking for a builder who understands how to build safely, strongly, and beautifully in Titirangi’s environment, TrickyBuilds is the team for you.

​

We specialise in decks, renovations, new builds, retaining structures, tiny homes, and minor dwellings, all designed for durability in native bush, wet conditions, and challenging terrain.

​

Whether you’re upgrading an older home, building a new one, or improving your outdoor living, we bring clean workmanship, strong communication and local expertise to every Titirangi project.

Local Knowledge: Building in Titirangi

Building in Titirangi requires specialised knowledge. We understand:

​

Steep, uneven terrain

Most projects require engineered piles, bracing, and structural designs.

​

High rainfall

We use moisture-resistant materials, correct flashing, and durable cladding systems.

​

Dense bush areas

We consider setbacks, drainage flows, pest risks, and long-term durability.

​

Architectural styles

Many Titirangi homes are custom-built; we maintain that standard.

 

Access challenges

We plan carefully for materials, machinery, and setup.

 

Light exposure

Outdoor living spaces must be designed around the canopy and sun path.

​

Our experience ensures safe, compliant, and long-lasting construction.
