What we do

One team for the whole build

From a single deck to a full home, you deal with Matt and a crew that does it all and coordinates the trades around it. No chasing five different contractors.

Renovations

Kitchens, bathrooms, full interior refits. We project-manage the lot, from first wall out to final coat, and keep the site tidy while you live in it.

New Homes

Ground-up builds from a set of plans to a finished home you move into. A licensed practitioner on the job from foundation to handover.

Decks & Outdoor

Hardwood decks, paths and driveways built to make the most of the view and add real value to the property. Oiled, finished and ready to use.

Extensions

More room without the move. Extra bedrooms, a second storey, an opened-up living space, tied cleanly into the existing house.

EQC & Earthquake Repairs

Full earthquake repair and remediation, including re-cladding and re-levelling. Work done properly so it stands the test of time.

Subfloor & Re-Levelling

Subfloor inspections, repairs and house re-levelling. The unglamorous work underneath that keeps everything above it square and solid.

About Matt

Local, licensed and hands-on

Matt Wooding has been in the trade for twelve years and runs the business he put his own name to. He is a trade-qualified, Licensed Building Practitioner, and he is on the job and on the tools, not just the name on the truck.

That matters most on the hard jobs. Matt and his team have carried homeowners through full EQC earthquake repairs and remediation, the kind of work that has to be done right because it has to last. First-time renovators get their questions answered patiently; tradespeople who have worked alongside the crew recommend them for the workmanship.

Matt & his team were my builders throughout an extensive EQC repair of my home. He exceeded my expectations with his ability to go the extra distance to ensure their work would stand the test of time. The quality of their work was exceptional. Timing and coordination was spot on & he had a pleasant demeanor, I was privileged to have this team complete my repairs. Full recommended.

We used Matt as the lead on a significant renovation. Matt himself was great to deal with, gave sound advice, had high standards and communicated timeframes and updates really well. As a first timer, I had plenty of questions all answered patiently! Matt also managed plumbing, electrical and painting subcontractors who all completed their jobs to a high standard and met their deadlines. Recommended!
JJeff KMajor renovation
Matt and his team did a great job replacing cement path and driveways. Very polite team and they kept a clean tidy site. The finished job modernizes the outdoor space and will add value to our property. Thanks again.

Matt and his team have done excellent work on a couple of projects at my property and I've been really happy with their work on both occasions. They've always been friendly and approachable and have made the whole process really manageable and affordable. As a new home owner, I've always appreciated the care and time that Matt and his team have taken to communicate and oversee the work required. Happy to recommend to others.

A note from the builder

Like it? It is yours.

I am Si from ProperSites. I build a real, working site for a business before I ever pitch it, so what you are looking at is the actual thing, made for Matt Wooding Builders, not a template with your name dropped in or a quote for something that does not exist yet.

The site is yours to keep. It is was $997 $697 to make it live on your own domain, then $49 a month just keeps it hosted and looked after. Month to month, never a lock-in, and if you ever leave you take the site with you. Most builders are the opposite: stop paying and your site disappears. Not here.
