From wooden fences to rock walls and gates to security fencing, NL Contractors are fully capable of completing whatever project you may have. In addition to their fencing services, they also extend to civil contracting completing projects such as box culvert installations, roadside boardwalks with guard rails and balustrades.

Regarding building consents for fences, for outdoor structures like fences, decks and retaining walls, the main reason you may require a consent is if you're building over a certain height. If you're building below the height limit set in the Building Act, you won't require a building consent. However, the Act still requires you to make sure that all work complies with the Building Code.

Generally, you will need consent for a retaining wall if it is over 1.5 meters high or has a building or driveway near the top. Sometimes there is an exception to the rule in that even if you don't need a building consent, your structure may be affected by other rules in the district and regional plans. But there is no need for you to worry about that right now as NL Contractors can advise you upon a site visit, or even sometimes over the phone.

NL Contractors specialise in all major fencing types including wooden, steel, post and rail, wire, boards, picket and electric, colourbond and pool fencing. They also have completed many jobs which include retaining walls and lattice works which means that they can match their skills to your needs.

In addition to their local South Auckland region, their service area extends to the entire greater Auckland suburbs. Their service and maintenance vehicles are equipped to travel any distances and their material/product suppliers are based throughout the Auckland regions, thus eliminating additional cartage fees.
