At Mark Boys Builders, our expertise extends far beyond the four walls of your home. We specialise in full-scale residential construction and site development, providing the structural backbone and finishing touches that turn a property into a functional masterpiece. Serving Napier, Hastings, and the Hawke’s Bay region, our team of six handles the heavy lifting of site works and the precision of architectural carpentry. From the initial earthworks and retaining to the final pour of a designer driveway, we ensure every element of your property is built to last.
A great build starts with a solid foundation and a well-engineered site. We specialize in constructing robust timber and concrete retaining walls that maximize your usable land and ensure proper site drainage. Whether you are leveling a sloping section for a new lawn or creating a tiered landscape for a multi-level home, we “get it right from the start” to protect your investment from the elements.
We bridge the gap between your interior comfort and the Hawke’s Bay outdoors. Our team designs and builds bespoke timber decks and pergolas tailored to your lifestyle. We work with everything from traditional Kwila and Vitex hardwoods to modern, low-maintenance composites. By integrating architectural features like built-in seating, privacy screening, and glass balustrades, we create outdoor spaces that feel like a seamless extension of your home.
The entrance to your home sets the tone for the entire property. We provide high-quality concrete and paved driveway solutions, including exposed aggregate, colored concrete, and traditional finishes. Our team also handles the construction of functional pathways, mow strips, and parking pads, ensuring your exterior surfaces are both durable and aesthetically pleasing.
Need more than just a house? We construct a wide variety of secondary residential structures, including:
Architectural Garages: Designed to match the aesthetic of your primary dwelling.
Workshops & Tool Sheds: Custom-sized for your specific hobbies or storage needs.
Carports & Boat Sheds: Durable, weather-tight protection for your high-value assets.
Fencing & Gates: From standard timber palings to contemporary architectural designs for privacy and security.
All-in-One Service: We manage the earthworks, concrete, and timber construction, so you don’t have to juggle multiple contractors.
Council Compliance: We take care of the building consents for retaining walls, decks, and garages, ensuring everything is fully legal and up to code.
Local Durability: We select materials and building methods specifically suited to the Hawke’s Bay climate and soil types.
Yes. We provide a comprehensive service that includes the initial site scrape, excavation, and leveling. Whether we are preparing a sub-base for a new concrete driveway or digging post holes for a structural retaining wall, we manage the machinery and materials required to ensure your site is stable and correctly drained before the final construction begins.
To keep your timber structures looking their best and prevent rot, we recommend a light wash once a year to remove moss and grime. For hardwood decks (like Kwila), an annual application of high-quality decking oil will maintain the rich color and prevent silvering. Retaining walls are generally “set and forget,” provided the drainage behind the wall remains clear, which is something we prioritize during the build.
Absolutely. As part of our project management service, we coordinate with trusted local electricians to pre-wire your outdoor spaces. This allows for seamless installation of recessed deck lighting, power points for outdoor kitchens, or full electrical fit-outs for workshops and garages, ensuring all wiring is hidden and compliant with exterior safety standards
While all concrete has the potential for minor hairline fractures, we mitigate this by “getting it right from the start.” This involves ensuring a heavily compacted base, using the correct grade of steel reinforcement mesh, and cutting control joints at strategic intervals to allow for natural expansion and contraction. We also ensure the concrete mix is appropriate for the specific weight-bearing needs of your vehicles.
