Howard Construction is a Canterbury-based building & construction company specialising in architecturally design homes, tailored to our client-specific needs.

Owner/Operator Stu Howard started out as a farm boy in Kaikoura, “Mum always said I was born with a hammer in my hand, as I was growing up there was never any doubt I would become a builder. After 16 years in the trade, I now lead my own team of extremely large boys, an interior designer wife who keeps things looking pretty, an operations manager who runs my life and several groups of subcontractors whom I have complete trust in to do the job right the first time, and then very occasionally, I even get the odd weekend away to go hunting. Life is good.”
