Concept 2 Construction

We moved a 280m² house up the Port Hills with a 300-tonne crane.

Instead of building from scratch, we bought a home that needed relocating, found the right section on Worsleys Road, and doubled the property's value in 12 months.

It wasn't luck. It came down to section selection, consents, engineering, and a builder who knew exactly what was involved.

Our free guide tells the full story, and whether a project like this could work for you.

Most renovations don't go wrong on site. They go wrong in the planning.

Hidden surprises behind the walls, variations nobody discussed, late decisions on tiles and tapware… these are the things that blow out budgets and timelines.

We've put 20+ years of renovating Canterbury homes into one free guide:
✔️ Where renovations go wrong (and how to avoid it)
✔️ How to set a realistic budget
✔️ What a well-run renovation actually looks like

Building a home is the biggest investment of your life. It should also be one of the most rewarding.

Too often we meet people after a bad experience elsewhere: blown budgets, poor communication, workmanship that didn't match the promise.

Our free guide shows you how to get it right from day one:
✔️ How to choose the right builder
✔️ What really drives your build cost
✔️ What a premium build process looks like

The Graves Residence, Strowan.

Black cedar. Exposed internal cedar ceilings. A roofline that kept our team on their toes from the first set of drawings to the last ridge cap.

Designed by Greg Young of Young Architects. Built by us.

Incredibly proud of this one.

This one's personal. When it came time to build our own family home, we decided to do something different: relocate a red-zoned house from Avonside to the top of Worsleys Road.

King House Removals expertly delivered it onto the foundations we built, we got to work renovating it thoroughly inside and out. New life for a house that deserved a second chance.

The result? A 290m² home that not only looks great but blends seamlessly with the rugged Cracroft surroundings.

"We can’t thank Tim and the Concept 2 Construction team enough for everything you have done for us. After five months of uncertainty when our previous build company was unable to complete our home, we felt lost and anxious about the future of our build. From the moment your team took over at the framing stage we felt supported every day. Your onsite chats and regular updates gave us confidence and turned what was a stressful experience into an enjoyable one—we especially appreciated how you always made time to answer our questions and offer your vastly experienced creative alternatives and solutions. Nothing was a problem!

Working with you was great! Your honesty, creativity, and the outstanding quality of workmanship exceeded our expectations, and the end result is a beautiful home we are incredibly proud of. We are deeply grateful not only for your dedication but also for the lasting friendship that has grown from this collaboration. We recommend Concept 2 Construction to anyone thinking of building.

Thank you again, Tim, for making our dream home a reality and for making the journey such a positive one."

-Corien and Gary Oliver

Building a home fit for champions!

We had the absolute pleasure of bringing Gary and Corien's beautiful Christchurch home to life.

For Gary, a New Zealand billiards champion of over 20 years, and Corien, the New Zealand Women’s pool champion, their home needed to be more than just a place to live—it had to be a true reflection of their passion. We thoughtfully customized this space to perfectly suit their love of the game.

The best part? Delivering a smooth and enjoyable build process so they could focus on what they do best. They couldn’t be happier living in a space designed just for them, and we couldn't be prouder to have brought their vision to life!
