About Ecoconstruct and David Anstis

A Mt Albert builder who has put the environment and healthy homes first since the 1980s.

Our story

From Seattle to the Waitakere Ranges to Mt Albert

David Anstis began building homes in the late 1980s on an island near Seattle, Washington. In 1994 he came home to New Zealand and settled in Titirangi. Since then he has built dozens of homes in the Waitakere Ranges and surrounding areas.

He set up Ecoconstruct in 2008 to bring his own building philosophy in line with what the market was asking for. In 2009 the business moved out of the bush to Mt Albert, where it is based today.

David builds architecturally designed homes. He also has his own contemporary Ecohome designs for clients on a restricted budget.

We were considered 'tree hugging hippies' back in the 80s, but now we are at the forefront of a world wide movement toward sustainable living.

What clients say

A word from a client

Ecoconstruct have completed two different renovation projects for me and I have been very impressed with their professionalism and the work that they did. They communicated well, arrived on time, and did a fabulous job. They thought about the right solution for my heritage apartment and … cleaned up after themselves. I would highly recommend Dave and ecoconstruct.
