Total Weathertightness Protection
Wellington weather requires specific expertise. We guarantee that our exterior cladding and structural work will keep your home warm, dry, and fully protected.


When you specialise in technically demanding work like architectural extensions and weathertightness remediation, precision is everything. Over the last 20 years, we have built a reputation for doing the job right the first time.
At Bear Construction, we do not build for the short term, and we do not compromise on materials just to win a quote. We build robust, healthy homes designed to perform flawlessly in Wellington's unique coastal and valley environments for decades to come.
We back every single major project with our 10-Year Ironclad Guarantee. This gives you absolute peace of mind that your investment is protected against structural defects and weathertightness issues for a full decade.
Many building franchises treat warranties like paperwork. If you have a question down the track, you end up calling a generic 0800 number and waiting weeks for a junior project manager to assess your home.
As independent, licensed builders in Wellington, my personal reputation is attached to every single project we complete.

Wellington weather requires specific expertise. We guarantee that our exterior cladding and structural work will keep your home warm, dry, and fully protected.

From second-storey additions to complete architectural renovations, we guarantee the structural soundness of our framing, foundations, and load-bearing work.

If you have a question years down the track, you will not be passed around a corporate office. You deal directly with Phil, the owner who ran your job.
We believe that a guarantee is only as good as the builder standing behind it. Phil Ashton is not just a Licensed Building Practitioner; he is a Certified Building Surveyor (CBS) and a Registered Master Builder.
