Before you hire

Decks and fences both depend on what you cannot see: footing depth, post spacing, and whether the timber or framing is rated for outdoor use. Ask whether a building consent is needed (decks over a certain height require one), what timber treatment level they use for posts in ground, and whether the quote includes removing the old structure. Get a written quote with a clear timeline.

    Red Square Construction

    ★ 5.0 60 reviews Top5 Score 153
    5★ 60

    One review confirms they handle both new deck builds and refurbishment work, but the single account lacks sufficient detail to identify where they excel or what sets them apart. More feedback on their approach to timelines, budget communication, or problem-handling would clarify whether they're right for your situation.

Before you hire a deck and fence builder in Auckland

Drawn from 158 customer reviews collected for this page. The first answer is what it costs.

What does a deck or fence typically cost in New Zealand? expand_more

Timber deck construction runs $300 to $800 per square metre installed, with treated pine at the lower end. Hardwood and composite materials push costs toward $800 or beyond per square metre. Standard timber paling fences cost $150 to $300 per linear metre, while pool fencing or complex designs reach $400 to $600 per linear metre. Building consent for a deck over 1.5 metres high adds $1,000 to $2,500 depending on your council.

When does a deck or fence need a building consent? expand_more

A deck requires building consent if it sits more than 1.5 metres above ground level, so check your proposed height before any work starts. Fences over 2.5 metres high also need consent, and pool fencing must comply with the Fencing of Swimming Pools Act 1987 regardless of height, with council inspection required. Boundary fences between neighbours are governed by the Fencing Act 1978, which sets out equal cost-sharing for a fence of standard construction, with the Disputes Tribunal available if a neighbour won't engage. One installer in the reviews was praised specifically for helping a customer navigate a neighbour dispute over fence costs, which shows this situation is common enough to ask about upfront.

What timber and treatment level should be used outdoors and in ground? expand_more

Posts going into the ground need H4 or H5 treated timber because ground contact exposes them to moisture and borer, while rails and decking boards can use H3.2 for above-ground outdoor use. Untreated or under-treated posts in ground contact will rot within a few years, causing the whole structure to move or lean. Composite decking avoids rot on the surface but still requires correctly treated structural posts underneath, so the treatment level of the framing matters regardless of what decking material you choose.

What are the warning signs of a deck or fence builder you shouldn't hire? expand_more
  • –Verbal estimates instead of a fixed written quote, as one reviewer specifically valued receiving a fixed price rather than an estimate
  • –Vague or evasive answers about timber treatment levels for posts going into the ground
  • –Requests for a large upfront deposit before any materials are ordered or work begins
  • –No mention of whether a building consent is needed for a deck above 1.5 metres
  • –Reluctance to remove the old structure as part of the job, leaving disposal to you
  • –Poor or slow communication before the job starts, which a negative review about an unrelated build confirmed is a reliable early signal of how the whole project will run
What should you ask before hiring a deck or fence builder? expand_more
  • –Ask whether a building consent is required for your project and confirm who is responsible for obtaining it and paying the council fees
  • –Ask what H-treatment level the posts and in-ground timber will be, and request this in writing on the quote
  • –Ask how deep the footings will be set and whether posts will be concreted in, as this directly affects long-term stability
  • –Ask whether the quote includes full removal and disposal of the existing structure, since several reviewers noted clean rubbish removal as a standout positive
  • –Ask for a fixed itemised quote rather than an estimate, and check what workmanship guarantee the builder offers in writing
  • –Ask for the expected start date and completion timeframe, and confirm whether the builder holds a Licensed Building Practitioner registration for consented work
