About us
Deck Construction for Wellington Homes
At Clearcut Building Solutions, deck building is delivered as part of our licensed construction services, not as a standalone, volume installation product. We work with homeowners who want decks built correctly, with proper structure, drainage, fixings, and long-term durability in mind.
This service is suited to projects where deck construction requires professional building expertise, including elevated decks, decks on sloping sites, or decks that form part of a wider renovation or extension. Our team takes into account site conditions, load requirements, safety standards, and compliance obligations to ensure your deck performs as intended for years to come.
If your project requires consent support, structural considerations, or integration with existing or new building work, our experience as licensed builders provides a higher level of assurance than a deck-only installer.

EXCELLENT Based on 10 reviews Posted on Chris BirkinshawTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can highly recommend Ben and his team. They did a thorough demolition of large parts of my early 1900s Thorndon villa, and complete rebuild and refurbishment. Their communication about what was happening when was impeccable, they were clear about costs and stuck to them. Their subtrades were fantastic and just as clear on communication and costs, and ben did an incredible job of co-ordinating them to meet the timeframes he'd given me. The whole team's craftmanship and attention to detail was incredible. If you want a really good builder who communicates all the way through a project and does great work, Ben and his team are just who you are looking for.Posted on Gabriella VettorettiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Deck Builders Serving Wellington
Clearcut Building Solutions provides deck construction services across the wider Wellington region, including Wellington City, Lower Hutt, Upper Hutt, Porirua, and the Kāpiti Coast. Our local experience means we understand how factors such as wind exposure, coastal air, ground conditions, and site access vary across the region and how these factors should influence deck design and construction.
By working locally, we are able to carry out site assessments efficiently and design decks that are appropriate for the specific conditions of each property, whether it is a hillside section, a coastal site, or an urban residential setting.
In many cases, decks do not require building consent if they are low-level and meet specific criteria. However, decks that are elevated, attached to the home in certain ways, or include stairs or balustrades often do require consent. As licensed builders, we can advise whether consent is likely to be required and help ensure the deck is designed accordingly.
Yes. Deck construction is commonly integrated into renovation and extension projects. Building a deck alongside other work allows for better coordination of structure, weatherproofing, and finishes, and helps ensure the deck functions as a seamless part of the home rather than an afterthought.
The best timber depends on factors such as exposure, proximity to the coast, and how the deck will be used. Wellington’s wind and moisture levels mean durability, drainage, and fixing methods are especially important. We take site conditions into account when recommending suitable materials and construction methods.
Decks in Wellington need to be designed to manage wind uplift, water runoff, and long-term exposure to moisture. This influences pile depth, bracing, fixings, spacing, and detailing. Our approach considers these factors from the outset to improve stability and longevity.
Timeframes vary depending on the size of the deck, site complexity, and whether consent is required. Smaller decks may be completed relatively quickly, while structural or elevated decks can take longer due to design, approval, and construction considerations. We provide clear guidance on expected timeframes once the scope is defined
Yes. Structural integrity and safety are core considerations in our deck construction work. This includes load-bearing elements, stairs, handrails, and balustrades, all of which must meet current building and safety standards.
Deck construction is part of the broader building services offered by Clearcut Building Solutions. We regularly build decks where proper building knowledge, compliance, and integration with existing structures are important, particularly in renovation and extension projects.
