Our Services – Gary Mason

Precision craftsmanship. Complex projects. No shortcuts.

Your project deserves more than a generalist builder

From heritage buildings and commercial retrofits to bespoke hillside and architecturally designed homes, Gary Mason Construction delivers where others hesitate.

We take on the builds that make other contractors nervous: steep hillside and high specification homes, multi-pitch rooflines, heritage restorations, and projects where the standards are non-negotiable.

Each project is led by a Licensed Building Practitioner with over 25 years of experience and backed by a crew of highly skilled, problem-solving builders who are as invested in your outcome as you are.

Residential builds – Dream homes, delivered

Your home isn’t just a structure—it’s a reflection of your lifestyle, your taste, and your investment in quality. Whether it’s a multi-level hill property or a high specification home with cathedral windows, copper spouting, or a wine cellar carved into the earth, Gary Mason Construction brings deep technical know-how and calm leadership to your project.

We’re problem solvers and we’ll guide the build, manage surprises, and protect your vision every step of the way.

Whenever an obstacle looked like it would stall the build, GMC found a way to carry on

“Very personable, professional with careful attention to detail especially around listening and delivering to client feedback and needs were the main attributes that delivered a high-quality outcome on a complex and intricate job.”

“Impulse Imports was a very challenging project. It was a Historic Building in Christchurch that was damaged in the earthquakes. Gary was pragmatic, efficient and focused on meeting the budget and achieving a high-quality finish. I highly recommend using Gary for your next project.”

“Gary Mason and team rebuilt our 1880’s Norwich Quay building following significant Earthquake damage. This was a project requiring close communication with the owners, courage through the demolition phase and careful construction around historic features. The work was completed to a high standard and trust and relationships continued through some trying plan changes and compliance issues.”

“Gary Mason Construction has been wonderful to work with throughout the project. The sense of honesty and dedication to the project was evident... If I ever build another house, Gary and his team would be the builders for me. I will continue to recommend them to friends building new homes.”
