Trusted to finish well
“We engaged Dylan from Gritforce to project manage a demolition of a balcony and reinstatement ready for sale of our property. Timelines were tight and we were extremely pleased with the outcome. The quote provided was in detail and the work well scoped. Dylan arranged all work with subcontractors required. His communication was exactly what we needed and all work was to a high standard. The final invoice also reflected savings he made and overall we are pleased to recommend him - Dennis and Alison Finnigan”

Building, landscaping and specialist installation.

How GRIT works

Clear from the first conversation.

A practical process that gets the scope understood early, keeps delivery coordinated and leaves no ambiguity about the next step.

01 / REVIEW

Send the scope

Share your plans, photos or project problem. They do not need to be final—we can start with what you have.

02 / PLAN

Define delivery

We assess the work, site constraints, sequencing and the people required, then agree a clear way forward.

03 / BUILD

Deliver well

Experienced, accountable site delivery with clear communication, careful coordination and a finish that holds up.

Before you enquire

Your questions, answered.

Has GRIT done work like mine?

Our project collection shows timber decks, interior renovations, cladding and remedial work, and carpentry on larger developments. Each case study explains GRIT’s role and includes photos. For a similar job, start with the Pirongia deck, Rangitoto’s outdoor and interior renovation or the Hamilton balcony remediation.

Who will I discuss my project with?

For building work, contact Dylan directly on 021 024 88721. GRIT is led by a Licensed Building Practitioner in carpentry (BP138630). For landscaping, contact the GRIT Landscaping team.

Do I need finished plans before contacting you?

No. Photos, a rough sketch or a description of what you want to achieve are enough for an initial conversation. Send any existing plans or reports with your enquiry. We can discuss what needs to be clarified before the work can be priced.

Where does GRIT work?

Building enquiries are welcome across Waikato, Auckland and the Bay of Plenty. Landscaping enquiries cover Waikato and Auckland. Tell us your project location so we can confirm availability and suitability.

Can you price repairs before everything is exposed?

Photos and reports help us understand the problem. Where damage is concealed, we discuss investigation and the limits of the initial scope before pricing. Any additional work needs a clear scope and agreement.

Let’s get it built.

Service areas: Waikato, Auckland and the Bay of Plenty. Site visits by arrangement.

Contact hours: Monday–Friday, 7:30am–5:30pm. You can send an enquiry online at any time.
