About Southside Construction
Local builders delivering new homes, renovations, sheds, decks and fencing across Nelson & Tasman. We combine tidy workmanship with straight-up communication and reliable timelines.
Our story
We started Southside Construction to build well-crafted homes and practical structures that suit our region. That means designing for Tasman’s weather, using durable materials, and paying attention to the details you’ll live with every day.
From the first site visit to handover, you’ll get clear timelines, tidy sites, and honest updates. We value relationships with clients, designers, and local suppliers — because great outcomes come from a team that works well together.
