What our clients say
For more than 25 years, DAS Construction Ltd has been building and renovating homes across the Wairarapa. As a family-run business, we believe quality workmanship and clear communication go hand in hand. We always pick up the phone or respond within 24 hours, ensuring your project runs smoothly from concept to completion. Here is what local homeowners and commercial clients have to say about working with our team.
I am the principal of Opaki Primary School. We have used DAS Construction for a number of property developments, both minor and major, over the past 10 years. These developments included combining two or three classes to make one collaborate space. This was huge undertaking with structural work and refurbishment of the whole block.
The building of a new classroom, the reconfiguration of a 100-year-old block into a modern teaching space, refurbishment of the staffroom and the building of storage rooms off the existing hall.
The DAS team have been wonderful to work with. Dave’s quotes were accurate and timelines kept. Communication has been excellent from the very start of any project right through to the completion and checking in afterwards that all is satisfactory.
The builders were very mindful of being in a school setting and extra precautions were taken for health and safety as well as working around the school calendar.
We have continued to use them as they have been so wonderful to deal with as well as being cost effective.
The professionalism of the whole team and the excellence of their workmanship as well as the working to a budget has kept us using them whenever possible.
I would highly recommend DAS Construction for any projects.

In December 2023 I engaged Zac Caldwell to do the building work on the renovation of a small bathroom in my house in Tauherenikau. It was a real pleasure to deal with Zac. Here’s why:
The work
Zac and Shiny completed the work I described to a very high standard, to quoted cost, on time and with no problems. Nothing was ever too much trouble.
Communication
Zac always clearly communicated to me what was happening at each stage, how long it would take and how much it would cost. He took it upon himself to project manage the renovation, finding a plasterer and plumber when I didn’t have one to go to. He always consulted me on the big and small matters that needed my attention before he went ahead with them.
I have no hesitation in recommending Zac to any other person requiring him to do their building work.

I had never had any building work done on a house before so this was a new experience.
DAS Construction were amazing when they did my renovations . Looking back, over the half the house was deconstructed and then rebuilt. When I walked into the house at the end of the first day when the kitchen and a couple of walls was gone, I thought OMG what have I done. Dave was amazing , he settled my nerves with his fabulously calm manner and his ability to show me the vision of what my house would look like once finished.
The renovations were done in 2 sections but each time Dave and his crew were there, making suggestions and working through the issues which invariably arise.
The main interior of my house is fabulous and I wouldn’t change anything.
The DAS Construction team were wonderful. Nothing ever seemed to be a bother. There is no other building firm I would ever use.
