Our story: Family-owned and built on trust
Wellington Building Services was established in 2008 by Darren and Rebecca Young, a husband-and-wife team. Drawing on over six decades of combined experience in design and construction, they recognised the need for a residential building company that offered accountability, clear communication, and superior craftsmanship all under one roof. Their aim was to make home improvements straightforward and well-supported, managing every stage of the project within a single company.
Today, Wellington Building Services is a trusted name throughout the Wellington region. The company continues to operate on its founding principles: trustworthiness, transparency, respect, and building solutions designed to stand the test of time.
