Sheds, garages, decks and pergolas built for Canterbury properties.

Rural and lifestyle sheds, garages and carports, entertaining decks and pergolas are the work Phil takes on most. He also builds renovations, new homes and one-off projects.

A classic old-school builder with a “we can do anything” approach.

Phil turns up, keeps the site tidy and runs the job to plan, from the first quote to the final clean-up.

Twenty-five years of sheds, decks, new homes, renovations and one-off projects across Christchurch, Lincoln, Prebbleton, Leeston, Rangiora, Kaiapoi, Amberley, Waipara, Oxford, Hanmer Springs and Kaikōura.

Built around your property.

A useful shed or a good outdoor space starts with how you plan to use it, not a standard package.

Sheds that earn their place.

Machinery storage, a workshop, a lined hobby space or something in between. Phil can take the build from foundations and framing through to doors, windows, lining and the final fit-out.

  • Garages and workshops

Decks made for everyday use.

Phil builds decks as part of the property: set out to meet the house, handle the site and make the outdoor area easier to use. That includes pool and spa surrounds, steps, screening and retaining work.

Phil also builds

A finished garage bar and games room with timber panelling and pendant lighting

The unusual jobs are the ones Phil enjoys most.

Man sheds, huts and games rooms sit alongside Phil’s rural sheds, decks and outdoor work. Each has its own problems to solve, with nothing standard about it.

If a project is complicated, or just a bit different, it is worth a conversation.

How Phil works

You deal with Phil

Phil quotes the job and runs it. Specialist contractors come in where a build needs them, or Phil simply does it himself.

A plan you can follow

A build plan and a payment schedule tailored to your project, so you know what is happening and when.

A tidy site, start to finish

Old-school workmanship and respect for the place you live: on time, at an affordable rate, and built to last.

“Right from the quoting stage through to completion, Phil and his team did everything right. We are so thrilled with our new shed.”
