  • "This was our second build with Totalspan and we absolutely love the finished product of our new garage. The entire team were amazing to deal with and helped us navigate our unique custom design project from start to finish to give us exactly what we wanted. If you have a project Totalspan Canterbury will help you out."

  • "Our experience dealing with Totalspan Canterbury, specifically Bridget and Chris has been fantastic. They took over the build at 528 Moorhouse when it was only a slab and have diligently worked through some very complicated issues and have been thrown a lot of curve balls throughout. We are very happy and proud of our new building and receive many complimentary remarks from our customers thanks to Bridget, Chris and Totalspan!"

  • "Chris and Bridget, and the team at Totalspan Templeton completed a barn style house for us. From start to finish they have been courteous, considerate and professional. They have been great communicators who have kept us fully informed on everything we needed to know. They managed the project from start to finish including foundation, construction, joinery, plumbing, electrical, interior painting as well as council consents/inspections. The quality of their work is excellent, and we have nothing but positive comments, and really pleased with the finished result. We would recommend the team at Totalspan Canterbury without hesitation."
