Are you hatching a plan to renovate your kitchen or bathroom? Maybe you’re keen to introduce more light into your home with skylights? Or you want to realise all that extra storage space you have in your roof space by installing an attic ladder? Or there could be a few niggly things that need tidying up around your house, like old weatherboards or spouting. Whatever it is, we can do it.
That’s why people across Canterbury love working with us at DCM Building. Our team has decades of building expertise combined with expert project management skills, meaning that we can give you a genuine one-stop service. And that’s really important because most projects require the coordination of several trades. You might need to juggle roofers, plumbers, electricians, joiners, painters, plasterers and/or tilers. We can take managing all that off your hands, making the whole project a stress-free experience.

Why Christchurch homes need experienced builders
Older or earthquake-affected properties often present unique building challenges. Every day we deal with uneven floors, warped timber, leaky windows and flashings, cracked walls and other things that have most builders running a mile. We’ve pretty much seen it all before, and we thrive on challenges. Just let us know what you have in mind, and we’ll make a plan that works with your vision and your budget.
Our motto is: No house is too old, and no project is too difficult or too small.

Want to add value? Let’s talk kitchen, living and bathroom renovations
Nothing increases the value and enjoyment of a home like a brilliant kitchen or bathroom renovation. Whether you’re looking to sell or stay long-term, renovating your kitchen and/or bathroom could be a smart investment.
Removing interior walls in older houses to create open-plan living/kitchen/dining is another project that’s very popular with our clients, especially in old villas, bungalows, and ex-state houses. Adding a deck or conservatory can absolutely transform your home into something to treasure.
Whatever you have in mind, we’d love the speak to you about the possibilities for your home.
