Mackla Construction is a licensed builder based at 151 East Belt in Rangiora. Whether you are building a new home, renovating an older house, recladding or adding a deck in Woodend, Pegasus, Kaiapoi or Ashley, site visits and quotes come from a North Canterbury address rather than being squeezed in from across the city.
Woodend sits on State Highway 1 north of Kaiapoi and is one of the fastest growing parts of the Waimakariri District. That mix of new subdivisions, older village homes and coastal and rural edges means three quite different kinds of work, and we scope each one differently.
Explore new builds near WoodendView new buildsRavenswood, just north of the Woodend village, is a masterplanned subdivision with its later residential stages now released, and Pegasus is close by. Sections here are flat and open, which suits a full new build as supply and install or labour only. Subdivisions often carry covenants, so check yours early and we will work through them in the quote. See our new builds page for how a build runs.
Around the original Woodend village there are older cottages and homes of mixed ages, many ready for a bathroom renovation, a recladding or a new deck. Work on an existing house is mostly about what is behind the walls, so we look at it on site before we put a number on it. See renovations and exterior cladding.
Woodend Beach is an exposed coastal setting, and the larger rural blocks around Ashley mean longer driveways, fencing and groundworks alongside the building work. Our landscaping service covers fencing, digger work and concrete, so one crew can handle the lot.
A new build starts with the frame. Walls and roof are framed and braced to the plans, then the building is wrapped, clad and roofed before the interior goes in. On a Woodend section that order is planned around access, ground conditions and the weather, not a fixed template.
Renovations and extensions follow the same logic on an existing house. We open up, see what is behind the walls, then frame, line and finish to the scope you have agreed in writing. See new builds and renovations for how each runs.
Woodend jobs run in four steps: a site visit, a written scope and quote, the build, then handover. The detail for each is on our new builds page. Our office on East Belt in Rangiora is the base for site visits in Woodend, Pegasus and Kaiapoi.
We do not publish set prices, because section, access and materials move the number. The quickest way to a real figure for your Woodend project is a free site visit and quote.
We walk the section and talk through covenants, access and what you want built.

"We had Mackla Construction do a renovation on our bathroom recently and we are so impressed with the finished result. Connor the owner is a true professional and coordinated everything so the experience was as stress free as possible. I would also like to make a notable mention to Vaughan their apprentice.

Common Questions
They can limit it. Covenants in Woodend, Ravenswood and Pegasus commonly cover things like house size, materials, colours and fencing, and they differ from one subdivision to the next. Bring the covenant document to the site visit and we will check your plans against it before we quote.
Sometimes. It depends on whether the existing foundations and framing can carry the extra load, what the rules for your section allow, and what is behind the walls. We assess the house on site before putting a number on it.
Your written quote sets out the stages of the build and the price. The payment schedule, including any deposit, is agreed in writing before work starts, and payment is made by standard invoice.
It depends on how exposed the section is. Open land around Woodend, Woodend Beach and out towards Ashley takes the full wind, so the cladding, its fixings and the wrap behind it should be chosen for the site, not just for looks. We go through the options at the site visit, and our exterior cladding page covers what we install.
Mackla Construction is based in Rangiora and works right across Christchurch, Selwyn and North Canterbury. Most jobs, day to day, are in and around Christchurch, but we'll travel further for the right project, anywhere from Kaikoura down to Timaru.
