We specialise in commercial construction, multi-unit residential projects, high-end renovations, and complex alterations. With years of experience across Wellington and the Hutt Valley, we know the unique challenges of local terrain, weather, and council requirements.

Health and Safety

At Urban Construction, the health and safety of our people, clients, and community is our top priority. We stick to the highest safety standards and ensure all our projects meet the necessary regulations. Our team undergoes regular training to stay sharp on the latest health and safety practices.

We take a hands-on approach to managing risk, identifying hazards early, and putting measures in place to keep everyone safe. From creating specific safety plans for each job to doing regular site checks, we make sure our work sites are safe and compliant. Health and safety is built into our everyday work—it's part of the way we operate.

Sustainability

We’re committed to building with a focus on long-term sustainability, using materials and processes that reduce environmental impact. Whether it’s minimising waste, selecting energy-efficient systems, or incorporating sustainable building materials, we ensure every project is designed with the future in mind.

We also work with clients to incorporate green building practices wherever possible—whether that’s designing for energy efficiency, using sustainable materials, or enhancing the environmental performance of buildings. Our goal is to create spaces that are not only functional and beautiful but also environmentally responsible.
