Awesome team with great skills. We had Level Headed Construction do a range of renovations at our home on three occasions, including a new fence, relining a basement room and conservatory and replacing some rotten weatherboards, and recently repairing a challenging hole in a wall.
We are so impressed with not only the skills and service Ralph and the team give, but also the calming way they go about making problems go away. Ralph is highly skilled and approached the work we needed with great ideas and excellent results to a very high standard.
I would highly recommend Ralph and the Level Headed Construction team to anyone.

I have worked with Level Headed Construction on multiple projects now; as the structural engineer monitoring the construction of the project and also as the client. These projects range in scale but the quality of work completed has been to a high standard on all occasions.
Working with Ralph as the engineer, he always as the client’s best interest at the forefront. He is continuously looking for ways to improve the buildability of the task at hand; saving both time and money. It was clear that Ralph prides himself in his work.
Working with Ralph as the client, he had excellent communication and was punctual. The work completed by both Ralph and Aaron could not be faulted and we are very happy with it. Even better, they left the place so tidy, you would not have known they were even there!
Ralph and Aaron are professional, knowledgeable and have a keen eye for detail. I would happily get them back around to my place next time work needs doing and have no hesitation in recommending them to family, friends, and clients for any project, big or small. I look forward to working with them again in the future.
We employed Level Headed Construction Limited to assist in building tasks to prepare our family home in Lower Hutt for sale and found Ralph and his apprentice, Aaron, to be very professional on all levels.
Our home needed minor repair jobs, so we thought, which included an ensuite refurb, rebuild of an outside retaining wall and heaps of other tasks. No job was ever a bother.
We appreciated Ralph’s honesty under the building code and if there were any concerns or consent requirements, he let us know so that nothing was a surprise. We felt relaxed having Ralph and Aaron in our home and the respect they have as builders to do the best job ever.
Ralph & Aaron also worked on our rental property where new structural foundations were required including the build of a retaining wall under a two-story house, which in turn involved an Engineer Consultant. Within hours of being onsite to review the job in hand Ralph organised the Engineer Consultant to come and review at the work. The relationship Ralph has with the Engineer Consultant was evident, as both parties had the safety & structure of the property at front of their minds as well as the legal requirements under the building code.
On top of this the rental property required major drainage work after the structural foundations were completed. This was planned, prepared, and finished to a high standard.
Like all renovations the jobs list multiples by ten overnight and this was the case with our two properties. Ralph afforded us the time he had available and prioritised jobs to enable our to be home ready for sale.
Amazingly Ralph and Aaron put the same expertise and effort in getting our rental property prepared for sale before we left the region.
We believe their professionalism and enthusiasm as sound builders contributed to both properties achieving good sale prices and would recommend them to anyone considering a major build, renovation, or minor job.

Over the past 2½ years we have been renovating our home, a 1940s State House, with the help of Level Headed Construction and Ralph and Aaron. The work has involved completely renovating the interiors, upgrading the bathrooms and kitchen and upgrading the electrical and data wiring.
Level Headed Construction has done the overall coordination and the construction work with Juice Electrical doing the electrical and wiring work and Mark Styles handling the plumbing work. We have been very pleased with the work each of these main contractors has done and with the professional manner they have gone about it.
Level Headed has also recommended and coordinated the work of other trades such as tiling, plastering joinery and painting / decorating. We have also been pleased with their recommendations and with the quality and professionalism of these tradespeople.
Their help with this project has been superb. The work that they have done has been very high quality and reasonably priced. There have been no surprises from their work; they have either met their estimates or let us know early in the few cases where they determined that work would cost more than expected. Where scheduling problems have happened, such as materials shortages and other delays during the COVID lockdown and restrictions, they always let us know as soon as possible and were diligent working with suppliers to get the materials as soon as reasonably possible.
They have helped us co-ordinate with the council inspectors, engineers and other trades as necessary taking a big burden off our shoulders.
Overall, their work quality, cost and timing has been excellent. No job has been too big, too small or too difficult for them to tackle. We’ve learned to trust them and rely on them for excellent work. I can wholeheartedly recommend them for any job in their field.

Ralph and Aaron really do the name ‘Level Headed Construction’ justice. They work in a calm, methodical and pragmatic manner and deliver excellent quality building work.
We encountered some issues during the kitchen/ dining alterations in our 1920’s house, which all got sorted with ease.
We highly recommend them.
