The Kāpiti Coast's Trusted Safety Net Installers

Looking for safety nets in Kāpiti or reliable safety net installers for your next build on the Coast?

Erect It Scaffolding installs WorkSafe NZ compliant safety nets across the whole Kāpiti Coast. Safety nets are the most efficient fall protection solution for new residential and commercial builds — installed below open floor areas, stairwells, and voids, they protect your whole crew without restricting movement or requiring individual harnesses.

The Kāpiti Coast is one of the fastest-growing residential areas in the Wellington region — new build and multi-unit activity in Paraparaumu, Waikanae, and Raumati generates regular demand for professional safety net installation. As a locally based crew, our response times are faster and our pricing sharper than Wellington companies travelling out.

All safety net systems are installed to AS/NZS standards and WorkSafe NZ requirements by qualified riggers. SiteWise Gold 2026/27 certified — full documentation on every job.

Safety Nets Kāpiti — What Builders Need to Know

What construction safety nets do

Construction safety nets are flexible, high-strength fall arrest systems installed beneath an open work area. Unlike a harness and lanyard, a correctly positioned net provides collective protection for everyone working above it, without tying each person to an anchor point. That makes it useful during timber framing, floor installation, stair construction, and roof truss work, when the building has openings that will later be enclosed. Nets also leave trades more freedom to move materials and work efficiently. They are not a substitute for planning: the net, its fixings, clearance below it, access, and rescue arrangements must all suit the structure and the work being done.

NZS 4994 and WorkSafe NZ requirements

NZS 4994 is the New Zealand standard covering the use of safety nets for fall protection. It addresses the selection, installation, positioning, inspection, and use of safety net systems. WorkSafe NZ’s fall-risk guidance also expects businesses to identify hazards and use the most effective reasonably practicable control. In practice, that means a builder should not simply order a net by size and assume it will be compliant. The fixing points, net position, possible fall distance, clearance, nearby hazards, and the sequence of work all need to be checked. Our riggers discuss those details with your site manager, install the system for the actual build, and provide site documentation once it has been checked.

When safety nets are needed on a new build

On a Kāpiti new build, the right time for safety net installation is before workers are exposed to the relevant internal fall risk. For a two-storey timber-frame house, that may be while the upper floor or roof structure is open. For a townhouse or multi-unit project, nets can be planned into each level and relocated as the framing sequence moves upwards. Early coordination matters because the structure must be ready for safe fixing, yet the protection needs to be installed before the high-risk task begins. We work from the site programme, plans, or a conversation with the foreman to schedule installation, inspections, relocations, and removal without delaying other trades.

Safety nets versus edge protection

Safety nets and edge protection are complementary controls rather than interchangeable products. A safety net catches a person who falls through an internal opening; edge protection uses guardrails and toe boards to prevent people or materials going over an exposed roof edge. A new build may need both: interior nets under a stairwell or upper floor and external edge protection around the roof perimeter. Full external residential scaffolding may also be needed where trades require a working platform, materials staging, or access to the outside walls. We can coordinate the complete fall-protection package instead of leaving the builder to manage separate crews.

Kāpiti Coast new builds, subdivisions, and rural sites

New subdivisions and townhouse developments in Paraparaumu, Waikanae, and Raumati mean multi-storey timber-frame construction is happening across the Coast year-round. We also work on individual homes, architect-designed builds, lifestyle blocks, and rural construction in Ōtaki, Te Horo, and Peka Peka. Larger-span nets for suitable sheds, barns, and agricultural buildings need careful planning around the span, fixing structure, and fall clearance. Tell us what is being built, how high the work is, and when the crew needs protection; we will confirm whether safety nets are suitable and quote the installation, any relocations, and removal clearly.

Local coverage from Paekākāriki to Ōtaki

Our riggers cover the full Kāpiti Coast, including Paekākāriki, Raumati, Paraparaumu, Paraparaumu Beach, Waikanae, Waikanae Beach, Te Horo, Peka Peka, Ōtaki, and Ōtaki Beach. That local coverage is useful when a build programme changes and a net needs to be installed or moved quickly. Travel is included in the upfront quote, with no separate Coast surcharge. We also service Levin and the wider Wellington region when the project is a good fit. For related access and fall protection, see our Kāpiti Coast scaffolding hub or Kāpiti scaffolding hire service.

Our riggers install safety nets across the whole Kāpiti Coast — Paraparaumu, Waikanae, Raumati, Paekākāriki, Ōtaki, Te Horo, and up to Levin — plus Wellington City, Porirua, and the Hutt Valley. Travel always included in the quote.
