Southern Buildworks is a small local Canterbury-based building and excavation company committed to delivering high-quality workmanship on every project.

We cover a wide range of building and excavation works, including pole sheds, small to medium renovations, LBP building works, decks, fences, site scrapes, driveways, earthworks, landscaping, and more.

Southern Buildworks confidently stands behind the quality of every project and ensures that clients receive the right products and procedures. Our broad knowledge base allows us to handle any challenge, and we guarantee that the work site will always be left impeccably clean.

Based in Rolleston, we service all of Christchurch, North and South Canterbury areas, including Ashburton, Dunsandel, Rakaia, Oxford areas, Methven, Mt Somers, Darfield, Rangiora, Swannanoa areas, Kaiapoi, Sumner, Redcliffs, Lincoln, Rolleston, Diamond Harbour, and Akaroa.

What we do

Licenced building work (LBP) and general carpentry. All construction and building work from installing attic stairs, window-to-door conversions, to large-scale renovations.

From small portable tunnel houses, 2 to 4 bay pole sheds, to large American-style barns and carports - we love building high quality sheds at Southern Buildworks. 

Concrete driveways, paths, and patios including hill sites. We also provide services such as digouts, site/vegetaion clearing, prep and boxing and site scrapes ready for your choice of seed or hydro grass.

Rough sawn to dressed pine gates and fences. At Southern Buildworks we custom make galv frames in house to suit the individual area.  

From composite decks, Kwila, or a specific timber or material of your choice. We also specialize in stair work and are happy to do this on more challenging sites.

We love a sturdy timber pergola - these can be installed up to 30 square metres by an LBP builder without consent. 

Our latest projects

We're proud to have delivered some great diverse projects over the last few months such as sheds, driveways to full outdoor areas.
