Joinery Specialists Combining Traditional Craft and Modern Precision
Craft is Alexander's team of specialist joiners - the ones who take on the work most builders can't. Bespoke cabinetry, architectural joinery, heritage restorations and era-sympathetic detail, built in premium materials by craftsmen who've spent their careers getting the finer points right. This isn't joinery pulled from a catalogue. Every piece is made for the space it's going into, and the home or building it belongs to. Our joinery specialists ensure every project is crafted with precision, purpose and enduring quality.

"We were very grateful for the hard work and long days…"
The planning, problem-solving and incredible teamwork between you all required a huge commitment. We were very grateful for the hard work and long days during the Christmas holiday time. Thank you for delivering the POD to us ready for surgery on Monday.
"…couldn’t have asked for more"
It has been a pleasure working with ACCL during the past months on the Kettle Cres Redevelopment Project. Working on site both with Kevin and Jody has been terrific, couldn’t have asked for more.
"…the best contractor I have dealt with"
In doing a lot of construction around New Zealand I can honestly say that Alexander Construction have been the best contractor I have dealt with. For me the property business is based around a positive and easy relationship between developer and construction company. Mark and his team have created a great relationship with our team and we have all being heading towards the same goals.
"We look forward to working with you on future projects…"
I would like to extend our thanks for running a tight ship and excellent contract on Graceland’s Stage 4. The team at Isaacs have really enjoyed working with the Alexander team and from a management point of view it has been delivered exceptionally well by you and your team. We value the open and transparent relationship in all aspects of the project, especially the communication around issues, the detailed accounting processes, and the prompt payments. We look forward to working with you on future projects and building off our relationship.
