The company has received national and regional gold and silver awards, including a gold reserve award and last year achieved a silver in the New Zealand Commercial project awards for its restoration of the Ridgway Chambers Building. The oldest commercial building in Whanganui, it was abandoned for about 10 years and left to decay. It was reconfigured into a glass studio and workshop on the ground floor and three apartments upstairs. A large amount of unforeseen rotten timbers, soft ground, replacement of all windows and the upstairs cladding were all part the challenges and restoration work that transformed the iconic building into something to be proud of. “We have also completed the heritage Stevenson Building building and now have started the building next to this which also falls under the heritage umbrella.” Shane Stone Builders are approved by insurance companies and also complete work for Enable, Kāinga Ora and the Ministry of Education along side its high-end builds, general renovations and additions.
