Who are Newlife Residential
Newlife Residential are a locally owned building company providing quality residential building and renovation services across Wellington and Porirua. Founded and operated by Blair, a Licensed Building Practitioner (LBP), the business is built on hands-on experience, clear communication, and pride in quality workmanship.
With over 20 years in the building industry, Blair has worked on a wide range of residential projects from kitchen and bathroom renovations to decks, concrete work, structural alterations, and specialist chimney removal. Every project is approached with the same focus: doing the job properly and leaving clients confident in the result.
Owner-Operated. Personally Managed.
When you choose Newlife Residential, you deal directly with the builder who will be carrying out the work. There are no sales teams, project managers, or subcontractor juggling just clear, honest communication from start to finish.
Blair personally manages every stage of the build, from the initial site visit and quoting through to construction and final handover. This hands-on approach ensures consistent quality, accurate pricing, and accountability throughout the project.
Licensed, Experienced, and Local
As a Licensed Building Practitioner, Blair’s work meets New Zealand Building Code requirements and is completed with the correct processes, insurance, and attention to detail.
Having worked extensively throughout Wellington and Porirua, Blair understands the challenges local homes face, including seismic considerations, council consent requirements, sloping sites, and coastal conditions. That local knowledge helps projects run smoothly and avoids costly surprises.

Newlife Residential specialises in residential projects that require skill, care, and experience, including:
- Kitchen and bathroom renovations
- Chimney removal and roof reinstatement
