Why Choose Southern Buildworks For Your Concrete Work in Selwyn?

Not all concrete jobs are created equal.... We often see poor quality work around Canterbury. Pads with no mesh, rushed prep, or wrong falls. That’s not how we operate.

Every job we do includes 668/665 reinforcing mesh and mesh chairs, ensuring proper strength, coverage, and durability from the ground up. We take the time to prepare the base right — solid compaction, correct levels, and the right mix for the job.

As Licensed Building Practitioners (LBP) with over 18 years of hands-on building experience, we know the importance of doing the job once — and doing it properly. Our concrete work meets NZ standards and is built to handle Canterbury’s conditions.

We also proudly use Kiwi Concrete, a trusted local supplier known for consistent quality and reliable delivery across Christchurch and the wider Canterbury region.

Proper Drainage for Every Concrete Installation

Good concrete work isn’t just about the finish... It’s about what’s underneath and how it performs over time. At Southern Buildworks, we make sure every driveway, patio, and path is laid with the correct falls to ensure proper water drainage. No pooling, no shortcuts.

We also install strip drains and soak pits where needed to manage runoff and protect your concrete from cracking or long-term water damage — especially important in Selwyns mixed weather conditions.

From hillside accessways to rural inclines, we know how to handle complex ground conditions with the right prep, drainage, and execution — ensuring a solid, long-lasting result.
