Duncan Commercial Construction is a family-owned builder on Victoria Street in Petone, founded in 2017 by Scott and Lucy Duncan. Over the last five years it has specialised in heritage building restorations, and its work also covers structural strengthening, refurbishments, multi-unit housing and new homes. The firm has 22 full-time staff and works across Wellington City, Lower Hutt, Upper Hutt and Porirua. It cites a 2024 Gold Award for the quality of its workmanship.
The business says it can work in buildings that are still occupied, and it runs its own process for the pre-construction, construction and handover stages of a project. Each project has a dedicated site manager, and the company takes on apprentices. Within a kilometre of its address there are three other builders: Maycroft Construction, 0.3 km away with no rating, Rubio's Pro, 0.4 km away and rated 5.0 from 12 reviews, and Top Notch Construction, 0.7 km away with no rating. The restoration and occupied-building work is the part of the business the website describes most fully.
