| 113 T T Kelly Deeks Product and process equally impressive The KiwiSpan Wellington and Kāpiti team prides itself on making the building journey as smooth as possible. KiwiSpan Wellington and Kāpiti BUILDING From Wellington through the Hutt Valley, Porirua, and up the Kāpiti Coast to Ōtaki, KiwiSpan Wellington and Kāpiti is earning a solid reputation for delivering high-performance steel buildings, with exceptional customer service to match. Owner-operator James Marsh is proud to lead a business that combines national brand strength with deep local roots. “We’re part of a trusted nationwide dealership, but everything we do is grounded in our local community,” James says. “We understand what matters to people here, and we take the time to guide them through the whole process.” With years of experience in construction and project management across New Zealand, Australia, and the Pacific, James brings a wealth of practical knowledge to every build. His leadership has helped shape a tight-knit team of eight, both office-based and on-site, whose commitment to quality and client satisfaction is a driving force behind the company’s success. “One of our greatest strengths is our crew,” James says. “They genuinely care about the quality of their work, and our customers always tell us how great they are to have on-site. We’ve had several clients come back to build their second or third shed with us, and that’s a real testament to our team’s dedication.” KiwiSpan’s point of difference lies in the strength and design of its product. With structural steel up to 3.0mm in gauge, thick 0.4mm cladding, and oversized 0.55mm flashings, these sheds are built for serious performance. All connections are reinforced with heavygauge tek screws and industrial bolts, offering a “grunty” finish that stands apart in the market. “When people step inside our buildings, they immediately understand what we mean by ‘grunty’,” James says. “They’re engineered in New Zealand to stand up to local conditions, and we back them with a 50-year durability statement.” But it’s not only the product that impresses, it’s also the process. The KiwiSpan Wellington and Kāpiti team prides itself on making the building journey as smooth as possible. From the initial phone call to final handover, they prioritise communication, education, and customer confidence. “Many of our clients are building for the first time and don’t know where to start,” James says. “We take the time to explain every step, guide them through design, consenting, and construction, and we’re always available to answer questions.” One recent project in Ōtaki stands out. A client transitioning from renting to owning needed help from the ground up. The KiwiSpan team designed a purpose-built facility for fast-moving consumer goods, ensured it met specific fire-rating requirements, oversaw the consenting process, and managed the build through to completion. The grateful client presented the team with a thank-you card and gift box, a gesture that meant a lot to the team. As the business grows, James hopes to expand the team with like-minded builders, who share the company’s values. “We want to keep delivering more quality projects for our community,” he says. “Everything we build is bespoke, and we don’t produce cookie-cutter buildings. We work with each client to design a building that truly meets their needs.” We are proud to be working with Kiwispan - Wellington & Kapiti Coast For more information visit www.unitedsteel.co.nzor call us on 0800 800 649 As consul�ng engineers with an established prac�ce in the Wellington Region we are proud to be associated with Kiwispan Wellington and their projects. • Geotechnical Inves�ga�ons & Design • 3 Waters Designs • Civil Engineering & Flooding • Structural Engineering • Bridge Design • Contaminated Site Inves�ga�ons • Water & Wastewater Treatment • Process Engineering • Electrical Design • Relocated Buildings Our prac�ce areas include: Call Stu or Rohan Clark to discuss your project.
