98 | BUILDING JJS Custom Construction Ltd T T Rosa Watson A solid reputation built on passion JJS covers the wider Wellington area. Upper Hutt-based JJS Custom Construction Limited has built its reputation in the Wellington region through a passion for renovation and versatile skill set. The company is driven by a dedicated team committed to quality as well as delivering projects on time and within budget. JJS takes pride in total communication throughout the project whilst specializing in residential renovations, extensions, alterations and new builds of all sizes. Skills cover project management, complete bathroom renos, new kitchen installs, tiling, plastering, waterproofing, flooring, painting, roofing, decking, fencing, concreting, landscaping and everything in between. JJS covers the wider Wellington area, which has taken the team as far as Breaker Bay on the Miramar Peninsula where one of the company’s recent renovation jobs has kept them busy. Owner Josh Stewart said “This job started by moving the kitchen from the rear of the house towards the middle.” The back area was then converted to a bedroom with a fully tiled ensuite bathroom, there was further renovation to the upstairs bathroom, entrance way, downstairs basement, exterior joinery and more. This job started in August 2023 and we are now up to stage 4 of the project after discovering substandard workmanship needing restrengthening throughout, owner Josh Stewart said. “It is a job that has grown quite considerably and we have enjoyed the challenge.” Another notable project was a full-frontal renovation on a 1920’s home in Petone that included extending the footprint, installing skylights, new aluminum joinery, an entranceway coat nook with bench seat and a 40 sqm deck with built in seating and planter boxes. “This job was great to work in with the client who had a vision and dream in mind, they were very pleased with my input and guidance of detailing and precision to make this a reality.” Josh started as a sole trader in 2007 applying his trade under a NZ multi award-winning building company Maridale Construction Ltd. He established JJS Construction Ltd. in 2017 and has been trading as JJS Custom Construction Ltd since 2020, telling Business Central it was a leap of faith, but he always had the drive to do it. There are now three highly skilled qualified builders on the team all well equipped with the skills to produce high attention to detail no matter the size of the job. Josh’s wife and business partner Elle is the administration manager. Josh has found himself in the renovation space through a passion for it. He enjoys coming up with design ideas and the problem solving. “People have a vision of what they want around their property, and with my knowledge and experience of past projects and success we turn a client’s house into a home.” There was pride in the work, room for creativity and creating dreams in this smaller and niche market, he said. On top of renovation projects for 2024, the team has picked up the job of installing the new hydro slides at H20 Xtreme Aquatic Centre in Upper Hutt, adding another skill set with something a bit different and exciting. Wellington and Upper Hutt were small areas, and the company prided itself on doing thorough work to a high standard and creating reoccurring customers. “Word gets around and it is our biggest marketing tool.” The Upper Hutt region is growing with plenty of development happening and people seeking more affordable housing, as this looks set to continue with subdivisions throughout the city Josh said.
