The first step is to get in touch and send through your property address along with a few photos of the proposed build area. Using Auckland Council GeoMaps and other planning tools, we’ll carry out an initial feasibility assessment to determine whether a minor dwelling is likely to be suitable for your site.
This obligation-free assessment will identify potential planning constraints, services, access requirements and any obvious issues before you spend money on design.
If your site appears suitable, we’ll arrange a site visit to discuss your goals, budget and vision for the project.
During this meeting we will:
This ensures everyone is on the same page before design work begins.
Once you’re happy to proceed, we’ll engage our designer and any required consultants to prepare your project. This dwelling is also subject to building consent due to the skillion ceiling and design.

Estimated cost: Approximately $15,500
Estimated timeframe: 11 weeks
Once all reports and drawings have been completed, we’ll prepare your final fixed-price quotation.
At this stage we will:
Estimated timeframe: Approximately 2 weeks
Following acceptance of the quotation, we’ll collect the deposit, order materials, establish the site and begin construction.
Progress payments will be made at agreed milestones throughout the build, providing complete transparency throughout the project.
Estimated construction timeframe: Approximately 6 – 8 weeks

EXCELLENT Based on 12 reviews Posted on Google Usha parbhuTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently had our backyard landscaped by Macalister Construction and we’re extremely happy with the results. Robert and his team were professional, reliable, and easy to communicate with throughout the entire project. Robert listened to what we wanted and transformed our outdoor space into something that looks great and feels much more functional. The quality of the workmanship was excellent and for the most part, great attention to detail. Our backyard now looks clean, modern, and inviting, and we’ve already received compliments from friends and family. We would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for landscaping work and would happily use them again in the future.Posted on Google Louise GreigTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience all round. Communication was excellent all the way through the process of replacing my decking and side stairs. This uncovered some issues with drainage that i'm hugely relieved to have identified and solved. Most impressive of all though was the speed at which the job was taken on and completed, including the drainage stuff. Robbie and Josh are lovely guys too. Overall excellent - very highly recommended.Posted on Google Linda StevensonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I found Robbie on Bark and so lucky I did. Communication came back within 48hours. Robbie has done a great job constructing my new deck and fence. 1st class in building, tidiness, Communication and of course price. Will definitely be using Robbie again. Very happy.Posted on Google Renee FaulknerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Robbie came to our place to quote a job. He got back to us within 48hrs with a price. We accepted the quote straight away. Not only because the price was reasonable, but because his communication was outstanding. Very detailed and cares for his work. Thanks so much!Posted on Google Javier QTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’ve had Macalister Construction working alongside our team on several projects now, and they’ve been outstanding to deal with every time. The communication is clear, the workmanship is top-notch, and they always deliver on time. It’s a rare thing to find a subcontractor who takes as much pride in their work as we do the Macalister crew genuinely care about quality and client satisfaction. They’re efficient, professional, and a pleasure to have on-site. We look forward to continuing to work together on future builds.Posted on Google Francois JobsisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. First class experience with Robbie. Robbie has demolished my existing garage and built a 60sq meter minor dwelling to a supremely high standard. No corners cut and was a breeze through the council inspection. Highly recommend. ✅Posted on Google Jahnis Bowden (JahJItsu)Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Rob did an amazing job on my new deck and bathroom renovation. Quality work at a very affordable price with excellent communication the entire time. Highly recommended.Posted on Google Logan EvansTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Got my bathroom redone in my 1960s house to then rent the property out. Couldn’t fault Robbie and the team at all, was upfront with the costs and the final product is well finished.Posted on Google Harry EisenhutTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great finished work and very easy to deal withPosted on Google H ETrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Can’t recommend Robbie enough, fully renovated my kitchen and attached outdoor/deck area to a very high standard. Fair price, no mucking around, cheers rooster.
