Kennedy Contracting is a Christchurch fencing and outdoor construction company with over 15 years of experience and more than 800 completed projects across Christchurch and Canterbury. The team is 100% Licensed Building Practitioner qualified and holds a 5-star Google rating, offering quality fencing solutions from entry-level to premium designer options.
The company is led by two hands-on directors: Michael Kennedy, who oversees quoting and sales, and Stephen Fleming, who manages operations and general enquiries. Michael and Stephen also own AreaTech, and the two companies operate together as a one-stop outdoor partner, giving customers a single point of contact for fencing, gates, decking, concreting, earthworks and landscaping — all coordinated under one team, one schedule and one warranty.
Kennedy Contracting maintains direct supplier relationships to keep material pricing competitive, passing savings on to customers without compromising on quality. Every job runs through a clear process: a free consultation, a detailed itemised quote, a quality build with regular updates, and a final walkthrough that's only signed off once the customer is happy.
With over 15 years of experience and more than 800 completed projects, Kennedy Contracting has built a reputation as a trusted fencing and outdoor construction team across Christchurch and Canterbury.
Kennedy Contracting installs timber, PVC and aluminium fencing, each suited to different needs and budgets. Timber fencing, built using premium treated pine and macrocarpa, is the most popular choice for residential properties, offering a natural aesthetic that can be painted or stained and works well for privacy and traditional homes. PVC fencing gives the look of painted timber without the upkeep — it won't rot, warp or fade, making it a strong option for coastal areas, modern homes and pool fencing. For a sleeker, more contemporary look, powder-coated aluminium fencing offers exceptional durability and rust resistance, suited to commercial sites, security fencing and pool safety applications.
Beyond fencing, Kennedy Contracting handles decks, gates, concrete driveways, retaining walls, and earthworks and landscaping. For customers wanting to tackle their entire outdoor space at once, the company offers a combined landscaping package covering site preparation, drainage, lawns, planting, driveways, paths, paving, decks, gates and pergolas — all sequenced so the finished result looks deliberate rather than stitched together from separate trades.
Kennedy Contracting (MKC) and AreaTech are owned and operated by the same team, giving customers a genuine one-stop shop for outdoor construction. Rather than juggling multiple contractors and hand-off headaches, customers get one point of contact, one consistent standard of workmanship, and a seamless build from fence line to finished landscaping — all under one quote and one warranty.
The company is run by two directors who stay directly involved in every project. Michael Kennedy, a licensed builder, oversees quoting and sales, making sure scopes are practical and pricing is transparent. Stephen Fleming manages operations and general enquiries, coordinating crews and materials and signing off on the finish quality the company is known for. Both also run AreaTech, bringing that combined experience to every fencing project.
Kennedy Contracting keeps its process straightforward: a free consultation to discuss the project and assess the site, a detailed and itemised quote covering materials, labour and timelines with no surprises, a quality build carried out by experienced trades with regular updates, and a final walkthrough and quality check that's only complete once the customer is happy.
Direct supplier relationships mean Kennedy Contracting secures better material pricing, and those savings get passed directly on to customers — whether they're after an entry-level fence or a premium designer installation. The company backs its work with a workmanship guarantee and a fully Licensed Building Practitioner qualified team.
Kennedy Contracting has completed over 800 projects and holds a 5-star Google rating, reflecting a reputation built on experience, quality and value across Christchurch's residential and commercial fencing and outdoor construction market.
