Project wrapped up at this luxury home in Omaha. The open-plan kitchen creates a perfect space for entertaining — and building those exposed rafters was a rewarding challenge!

Another glimpse of our Omaha new build — vertical shiplap cedar cladding with dark Ironsand-tinted negative detail for a sharp, modern finish. Topped off with a statement Kwila deck.

Puhoi deck we completed at the end of last year — how’s that view? We used Fijian Mahogany decking to tie in with the existing macrocarpa accents throughout the property.

Standing frames at our new build in Whangaripo. We chose LVL 4x2 framing on this one for straighter, more stable walls — less twisting and bowing means a better finish and fewer lining issues down the track.

Vitex deck wrapped up for a local home building company — this one finished in Vitex hardwood for a clean, natural look with great durability.

Using our small tight-access machine to dig in behind this block wall and install waterproofing and drainage to fix a flooded minor dwelling. For this job, we squeezed through two 900mm gates — not every project is glamorous, but sometimes playing in the

Large pool cut completed for a client — this one was a tricky dig, with sloped perimeter footings and 3-metre-deep cages drilled into solid ground.

Small retaining wall constructed — believe it or not, these poles are embedded over 2.5 metres deep, as specified by the engineer, due to the nearby road creating additional load on the wall.

Architecturally designed pole shed going up — from site cut to concrete pour to joinery install, this project is a great showcase of our full capability across building and earthworks.

One of our fleet vehicles arriving on site — clean, presentable, and ready to get the job done.

Did a great job at clearing the stumps and cleaning up the area, along with building the fence and finishing it all with topsoil and grass seed.

The team did an amazing job at my Orewa property, completing a deck, fence, and bathroom renovation. The whole process was seamless and stress-free, from planning through to the finished result. They were punctual, professional, efficient, and very respectful throughout. I was so impressed with their work that we’re already in discussions for a larger project.

Great Northern Construction recently completed a difficult job using a small digger in a tricky narrow area to excavate a trench and lay drainage, scoria etc. alongside a basement concrete block wall in our home where we had water issues. From start to finish Klay and his colleague could not be faulted. Amazingly they carried out the work in very wet and muddy conditions. We were given good advice and kept up to date with the works at all times. We certainly have no hesitation in recommending Great Northern Construction. Dianne and Bryan

We had such a great experience with Klay, communication throughout the project was great so we knew what was happening and when! Our deck looks even better than we ever imagined and the design and craftmanship is amazing! The continued work to put in new windows was 2nd to none!! 100% would recommend. 👍
