Local Knowledge:
Building in West Harbour

West Harbour properties are unique within West Auckland, often featuring elevated sections and exposure to the harbour environment. We understand the specific demands of building here.

​

Key considerations we factor in:

​

Coastal wind and salt air

We use the right fixings, timber, and coatings to prevent premature damage.

​

Sloped sections & multi-level access

Structural builds, retaining walls, and hillside decks are our specialty.

​

Modern homes & subdivisions

Access planning, boundary limitations, and architectural consistency are prioritised.

​

High moisture exposure

Waterproofing, flashing, and cladding techniques are crucial.

​

Sun positioning

We design decks and outdoor spaces to capture afternoon and evening sun, ideal for West Harbour entertaining.
