Building and Woodworking Projects
Hi neighbors - I'm Steve, and I'm a woodworker and builder living in Marahau Valley. I'm open to all kinds of projects, big or small, and in the past, I've mainly done custom built-ins and tricky things that people want but can't really buy at the store. I'm a former civil engineer, so I want to build things as safely and precise as I can, but I'm also into it being funky and fun.
I've attached a few photos of some projects I've done in New Zealand so far, and my website, stevethebuildersf.com, has pictures from other projects and a little info about me at the bottom. I helped design and build the new seedling propagation shed at the Takaka Community Gardens, designed and built booths for a friend's church/conference center cafe in Christchurch, and opened up a kitchen wall and installed a countertop for a friend in Collingwood. At my current place, I'm doing different projects around the house and property, with a deck bathroom in progress, and a permanent roof and deck around a caravan.
If you have any ideas, whether it's spicing up an outdoor space, fixing up furniture or anything around the house, bringing a project to life that's been conceptualized for a few years, or something you're not sure is possible, feel free to send me a message and see what we can come up with. I'm happy to meet in person, draw up spaces in 3D modeling, and brainstorm ideas to lead us to a final product we're both delighted with.
All the best,
Steve
