Propping & Falsework Specialists in Newtown
Whether your builder is removing a load-bearing wall in a Newtown villa, opening up an Island Bay terrace, or pouring a new slab for a Berhampore renovation, getting temporary structural support right is critical to a safe and compliant outcome.
Wellington inner-city properties present unique challenges: narrow sites, heritage structures, and tight street access. Our team works in these conditions every week and knows how to set up propping systems safely within the constraints of inner-city Wellington. All work is completed to WorkSafe NZ standards and can be done to engineering specifications where required.
SiteWise Gold 2025/26 certified — we carry full public liability insurance and provide documentation on every job.
