Structural Strengthening

We carry out structural assessments and complete structural strengthening for at-risk buildings across Christchurch and South Island. If a building has a 67% earthquake rating or less, it's deemed to be at risk as per the NZ Building Code. Our work helps improve safety, ensures compliance, reduces the risk of future repairs, and increases the property's value while getting your property back up to code.

Testimonials

Back in early 2020 a fledgling building company approached our business to offer their services to help us provide the same high standards in EQ repair and Seismic Strengthening that our Body Corporate clients had come to expect from our Secretarial Management Team.  

JLC Construction soon became the preferred lead contractor supporting our Project Services Team delivering on time and on budget for some complex Seismic Strengthening Projects.  

Josh and his team’s ability to work with and around building owners and tenants to get the job done has allowed several jobs that would have normally been deferred due to disruption, to go ahead.  

We now use the full range of skills and experience within the JLC Construction team to offer our Body Corporate clients the same level of service we would expect ourselves.

Testimonials

We had the pleasure of working with JLC on two major projects: the construction of our liv-in units at Lot 32 Hynds Drive, and our new headquarters for Utilities Infrastructure NZ at 61 Hynds Drive. From start to finish, their team demonstrated professionalism, commitment, and genuine care for delivering a quality result.

What stood out most was how they tailored the experience to suit our needs. They weren’t just ticking boxes — they took the time to understand our vision and worked alongside us to make it a reality. Their flexibility and ability to adapt as things evolved on site made the process feel seamless.

Having Josh on board, who’s also a good friend, made communication easy and straightforward. Any issues that came up were addressed quickly and constructively — with a focus on finding practical solutions.

We’re proud of what we’ve achieved together and would happily recommend JLC to anyone looking for a builder who’s hands-on, transparent, and genuinely invested in getting the job done right.
