Making the most of every bit of space!

At this Whitianga waterfront property, the area underneath the deck was too good to waste. So, we designed and fabricated two custom lift-up doors to turn it into a handy storage space.

A bit of engineering went into making these work:

- Fabricated aluminium frames
- Stainless steel piano hinges, custom drilled to suit
- Adjustable gas struts with custom stainless steel mounts
- Timber cladding to match the surrounding deck

Everything was modelled and planned out before fabrication, and it all came together just as intended.

Doors down, you'd hardly know they were there. Doors up, plenty of useful storage space! 💪

Something a bit different, but definitely needed!

This container had been shortened in a previous life, with small stitch welds and silicone used to seal it back up. Trouble was, it hadn’t kept the moisture out and rust had set in.

We were asked to sort it properly.

First up, pulling out all the old silicone and prepping everything for welding. We then added a new bottom rail, fully welded the exterior, and coated the raw steel with a two-pot zinc-rich epoxy before the top coat went on.

Should be good for another generation now. 💪

Pretty cool seeing not one, but two Alted jobs taking out Gold at the Master Builders House of the Year Awards. 👏

Both of these Whitianga homes featured plenty of Alted work behind the scenes - from structural steel through to a range of the external finishing details.

A huge congratulations to and .ltd on the Golds. Great homes, great result, and pretty satisfying for our team to see our work sitting behind both of them.

Nice one, team. 💪

Stone walls. Cast-in hinges. Five custom aluminium fin gates. Automation. Sensors.

About to kick off in Whitianga at The Moorings. Lots of planning going into this one!

Twenty years old doesn't mean you stop improving it.

This Ducati Monster S2R rolled into the workshop looking for a modern update, without losing the character that makes it a Monster.

Every part started with a problem to solve.

The factory lighting made way for slimline LED components throughout, including a new halo headlight, discreet bullet indicators, an integrated stop/tail light and LED number plate light.

Then came the custom fabrication.

From cardboard templates and scissors through to SOLIDWORKS, laser cutting and powder coating, we designed and built:

• Custom headlight brackets to mount the new LED headlight and indicators
• Rear brake and chain guards with a clean laser-cut finish
• A new tail light mount integrated into the tail tidy
• An instrument cluster panel with a dedicated daytime running light switch
• Modified Renthal Fat Bar mounts to suit the new high-rise bars and lock-on grips

Nothing off the shelf. Every bracket designed, fabricated, finished and installed in-house.

Sometimes the best engineering isn't about making something new.

It's about making something you already love even better.

Opening up the ground floor of this Waihi Beach renovation was a little more involved than simply removing a few walls.

To create one large, open living space, we installed two structural steel beams, supported by new timber framing and foundations.

The sequencing was the real challenge. Existing walls had to be carefully propped to support the upstairs structure while foundations were dug around the existing footings, reinforcing steel tied in, and the new beams lifted and hoisted into place.

With detailed site measurements and careful prefabrication, everything fitted exactly as planned - making the install as smooth as possible once the steel arrived on site.

A great project to be involved in alongside Hamish Bain and the team at . Thanks for having us on board.

The finishing touches can take just as much planning as the big bits at the start.

We've been involved in this Tairua new build from day one. Structural steel early in the project, and now back again helping finish things off with the final details.

So, what did we do?
- Aluminium handrails
- Powder coated to match the joinery
- Stainless steel support brackets for the timber screening

Simple, clean, and in keeping with the style of the rest of the house.

Big shout out to on this one. You've built an awesome place mate!

Great to have been involved from start to finish.

Kids in, dogs in, we're winning 🙌

The new owners of this St Andrews home in Hamilton needed a gate installed quickly. With a narrow gap between the house and boundary wall, the priority was simple - keep the kids and dogs where they're meant to be. And yes, a bit of privacy and security too.

Fabricated in Tairua, the team hit the road to install a custom aluminium gate built to suit the space exactly, featuring:
- Vertical slats for privacy
- Powder coating matched to the home's joinery
- Stainless hinges fixed directly to the block wall
- A support wheel to make it easy for everyone to open and close

Strong, tidy, and built to last. Just the way we like it. 💪
