Home Renovations: Make Room for What Matters

Expanding your home is easier than moving, and Lockhart Construction makes it seamless with bespoke house extensions across Greater Wellington.

Growing Needs, Smarter Spaces

Families across Wellington are facing a familiar challenge: their homes no longer fit their lifestyles. Whether it is the arrival of a new family member, the shift to remote work, or simply the need for breathing room, space is in high demand. Lockhart Construction has stepped in as a reliable partner for homeowners wanting to expand rather than relocate. Their expertise in custom house extensions offers families a smarter, cost-effective way to adapt to their changing needs.

Seamless Additions That Feel Original

Lockhart Construction understands that a successful extension should not look like an afterthought. Every project is designed and executed to blend visually and structurally with the existing home. They take pride in achieving a seamless match between new builds and old character, whether the original structure is a classic wooden villa in Mt Victoria or a mid-century home in Lower Hutt. Their work consistently respects the home’s style while enhancing function.

From First Sketch to Final Nail

Clients enjoy a guided journey that starts with transparent pre-concept cost estimates. This proactive step allows families to assess feasibility before committing to design or council consents. Lockhart Construction manages every phase, from initial concept and architectural coordination to project completion. Their detail-oriented approach ensures projects stay on schedule and within scope, helping clients feel informed and in control.

Adapting Homes to Modern Life

Wellington homes, particularly in older suburbs, often need thoughtful reworking to meet contemporary expectations. Lockhart Construction’s extensions typically include open-plan living zones, new bedrooms, ensuite bathrooms, or even separate laundry rooms. These additions don’t just increase space. They dramatically improve lifestyle. Families find themselves enjoying their homes more, thanks to reimagined layouts that make day-to-day life smoother and more enjoyable.

Building Up and Out with Confidence

Many of Wellington’s homes sit on steep or awkward sites, especially in suburbs like Kelburn or Ngaio. Lockhart Construction brings deep local knowledge to these challenges. They offer smart engineering solutions, including foundation upgrades and deck builds, that maximise both space and usability. Their outdoor extensions, such as elevated decks or tiered patios, create inviting alfresco areas that add immediate value and charm.

Extensions That Keep Character Intact

Character preservation is a core strength. For heritage homes in places like Thorndon or Petone, maintaining authenticity is crucial. Lockhart Construction has a proven track record of executing sympathetic additions that preserve sash windows, weatherboard cladding, and rooflines. Their team ensures heritage integrity is respected, even when clients are introducing modern comforts and performance upgrades like double-glazed windows.

Quality That Shows in Every Detail

Every extension by Lockhart Construction reflects their unwavering commitment to quality. Their team includes Licensed Building Practitioners and long-standing members of New Zealand Certified Builders, giving clients confidence from day one. The use of top-tier materials, local craftsmanship, and meticulous finishing standards ensures homes not only look exceptional but stand the test of time.

A Clear Path from Dream to Reality

Lockhart Construction sets itself apart with its transparent processes. Unlike many builders, they provide clients with early-stage estimates, so budget expectations are set before architectural costs are incurred. This clarity continues throughout the project, with pre-agreed margins on variations and a strong focus on communication. Homeowners consistently praise their responsiveness and straightforward updates, which take the stress out of construction.

Designed for the Greater Wellington Lifestyle

Their service footprint spans Wellington, Lower Hutt, Upper Hutt, Porirua, and the Kapiti Coast. They bring tailored solutions that suit both city dwellings and suburban sections. With experience navigating Wellington’s unique building codes, topography, and weather conditions, they deliver results built to last. Every extension reflects a deep understanding of regional challenges and how to overcome them efficiently.

Real Results, Real Impact

Clients often report how extensions completed by Lockhart Construction changed how they lived. Formerly cluttered homes now feel open and airy. Teenagers enjoy their own space, parents gain privacy, and shared areas become focal points of family connection. These are not just construction projects. They are lifestyle transformations that offer lasting value.
