Coast Construction are building something special in Hawkes Bay. With over 20 years of combined experience, Coast Construction delivers beautiful homes and custom spaces that meet the unique needs of families and businesses across the Hawke’s Bay region. Founded in 2022, Coast Construction coastconstruction.co.nz was established with a clear mission: to provide quality craftsmanship and build spaces that stand the test of time. The business is led by co-founders Kendal Latimer and Scott Berry, supported by a skilled team of four. Scott and Kendall are Licensed Building Practitioners and are SiteWise gold accredited, with a strong focus on safety and quality across every job. The team brings decades of hands-on construction expertise, a commitment to transparency, and a passion for building strong client relationships. Whether it’s a new home, house and land package, renovation, tiling, fencing, or commercial development, Coast Construction ensures every project is smooth, professional, and tailored to the client’s vision. Co-founder Scott Berry says what sets them apart is simple: “We’re dedicated to craftsmanship, client satisfaction, and honest communication. We stick to timelines and budgets, and we take pride in doing things right. We’re locals, and we want to see Hawke’s Bay grow. Our vision is to lead the coastal construction industry with quality projects, innovation, transparency, and a focus on people.” Coast Construction offers a full range of services, including new home builds, home repairs, decking, tile installation, commercial construction, fencing, and project management. Their primary specialty is residential renovations - helping homeowners improve and add value to their properties with high-quality, functional builds within the owners budget. Coast Construction also handles all council consents and building permits for both residential and commercial projects, ensuring full compliance with local regulations. A typical new home build takes around 8 to 12 months, while renovations may take 3 to 6 months. Council approval processes can add 2 to 4 months depending on complexity. Current projects include a sleep-out, bathroom tiling, and recladding a home in Hastings. Past work includes a commercial build for Triton Hearing in Napier. Despite ongoing challenges such as a slow consent process and market fluctuations, Coast Construction continues to grow—mainly through word-of-mouth referrals. “Most of our jobs come from word of mouth, with happy clients recommending us,” says Berry. Coast Construction is currently running a special promotion in partnership with Flight Centre: for projects over $550,000, if the practical completion deadline isn’t met, clients receive a $10,000 Flight Centre holiday voucher. This is a great promotion for customers and an extra motivator to deliver on time for the team. Looking ahead, the team sees room for improvement in the wider construction industry. Latimer explains, “We need fewer barriers - builders should be able to sign off their own work, like electricians. There should be incentives for taking on apprentices and tax breaks for businesses in We are a trusted, family-run property maintenance company based in Hawke’s Bay.
