Get to know us...

In a market dominated by housing companies we offer quality, flexibility and complete client satisfaction as our point of difference. ​​​

 

Keystone Building Ltd is a Tasman residential construction company, with teams based in Māpua, Motueka and Nelson.

 

​As project manager Mike Stephenson has overall responsibility for quantity surveying, quoting, scheduling, materials order and supply and quality control. He is in daily contact with his teams and a regular onsite presence liaising with clients, builders and sub-contractors.​​Keystone Building has three teams that work independently or combine as needed for larger projects. Team members are either fully qualified builders (LBP) or experienced builders completing their qualifications through adult apprenticeships.

 

We believe superior results are achieved by people working alongside trusted colleagues with a shared ethos and pride in quality workmanship.

Working together.

A high level of finish and attention to detail is a given for any builder who takes pride in their work, but it's what is underneath that shows true quality. We want our projects to last and provide value for money in terms of longevity. We pride ourselves on "going the extra mile- do it once and do it right." We build beyond the minimum building code, we add that larger stud, we use galvanized nails not 'brights' because they will last longer and grip better. We treat every project as if it was our own home and the level of the Keystone finish reflects that care and professionalism.​

​Keystone Building operates from a place of integrity and professionalism. Our quotes will be open book and realistic - we will not give you an "optimistic" quote to gain the contract and then run hugely over budget. As our testimonials prove- we will provide a comprehensive and informed quote and often deliver on or even under budget.

Our Work. 

One of the best ways to communicate what we do is through our work itself. With thanks to our clients we invite you to browse our work and take a few moments to get a feel for our signature touch.

Kind words from satisfied clients.

The Keystone team excels in crafting meticulous, thoughtful homes and spaces, demonstrating a commitment to excellence regardless of task size.​  

T. Henderson.

Mike put a lot of effort into costing the project and adjusting those costings in response to changes in the drafted plans. He assisted with the selection of alternative (cheaper) materials and willingly accommodated my wish to use my own timber. Mike managed to build the house I wanted within a tight budget, during a time of rising costs for materials, fuel and labor.

​We found the pricing comprehensive, realistic and the budget came in as originally quoted. We found Mike and his team easy to deal with, keeping the decision making process simple and straightforward. The workmanship is superb with extra care given to detail. The job was carried out with total consideration of us living in the house at the time. Maintenance items and management of sub-contractors has been stress-free and dealt with in a timely manner.We thoroughly endorse Keystone Building and would use them again.​"

David Scott

Having a local builder that we trust, who is honest, reliable, who sets high standards and is hard working is fantastic. We would highly recommend Mike and Keystone Building.​​ 

​Pip and Isaac Day

Mike and his team from Keystone Building have completed several projects for us and we have been totally impressed with their communication and professionalism.

Our projects have been completed on or ahead of time and on or under budget. We would highly recommend them!
