We highly recommend Ben and the team at Clearcut Building Solutions to anyone looking for reliable, professional builders who deliver exceptional results. Ben made the entire process of repairing the storm damage to the exterior of our property stress-free. His communication was excellent from start to finish, the team always turned up when they said they would, and the work was completed promptly without compromising on quality. We are absolutely thrilled with the finished result and wouldn't hesitate to use Clearcut Building Solutions again or recommend them to others.Posted on Google Sam AtkinsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the first phone conversation Ben and the team were a pleasure to deal with. Professional and great workmanship, left the site clean and tidy each day.Posted on Google Kirsten LeighsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ben and the team at Clearcut Building Solutions recently completed an Insurance Job at my property and did a fantastic job. I had just put a new laundry in before it was flooded and was concerned it may not look brand new again, but Ben and his team put my mind at ease and made sure the laundry looked exactly the same as when it first got installed. The team were extremely professional and considerate, working around my work schedule to complete the job and I really appreciated the strong communication and updates on progress and next steps, every step of the way. The quality of work was out-standing and Ben went out of his way to make sure I was happy with the work. They took great care working in a very small space. Highly recommend!Posted on Google 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 Google Gabriella VettorettiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Clearcut Building Solutions did an extension on our house. They were professional and their workmanship was second to none. Clearcut Building Solutions also built a very impressive retaining wall at the back of our block. Ben was very professional in working with us and his advice was valued. I would not hesitate to work with Ben and his company again as we really valued their work.Posted on Google Anna CherryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

The sub contractors used were excellent very helpful and friendly. We are very happy with the end result we did need to make some changes and work in with what WCC required but that’s normal with any project. We have no issues recommending Ben and his team

Villa renovations typically take between 3 and 9 months depending on the scope of work. Simpler upgrades like bathroom or kitchen renovations within a villa may take 8–12 weeks, while full restorations involving foundations, weatherboard replacement, and extensions can take 6–9 months. We provide a detailed timeline during the quoting stage so you know exactly what to expect.
Most villa renovations in Wellington require building consent, especially if you are making structural changes, altering the building envelope, or adding extensions. Work on heritage-listed villas may also require resource consent from Wellington City Council. We handle all consent applications as part of our service so you do not need to manage the paperwork yourself.
Villa renovation costs in Wellington typically range from $3,000 to $5,000+ per square metre depending on the scope of work, the condition of the existing structure, and the level of finish.
