About LWC
LWC—short for Lyndsay Wilson Contracting—is a family-run building business based in Hokitika.
Meet Lyndsay, the owner and Licensed Building Practitioner behind LWC.
Humble beginnings
Lyndsay discovered his love of building in his teens, learning the trade while working alongside his stepfather. He later moved into the signage industry, contributing to large-scale projects across Christchurch, Gore, and Hokitika. Over 15+ years in signage, he went from an apprentice to owner/operator of his own company, and honed his skills in creativity, precision, and attention to detail — abilities he still applies in building today.
Experience where it matters
Over the years, Lyndsay has gained a wide range of experience. He has worked in window and door fabrication and installation, spent time in the electrical trade, and at the latter stages of his building apprenticeship trained under a high-end carpenter specializing in detailed finishing work.
These experiences gave Lyndsay an eye for detail, high standards and a practical approach that still shape every LWC project today.
A return to building
In 2015, buying his first home reignited Lyndsay's passion for building. Wanting to renovate it properly himself, he returned to the trade where he undertook an apprenticeship focused on quality workmanship and long-term results.
What started as a personal project quickly grew into a passion. Today, he takes satisfaction in helping others repair, improve, and add value to their homes — always doing the job right and building spaces that offer functionality and longevity.
LWC, est. 2022
In 2022, Lyndsay took the leap and started LWC with a simple goal:
To offer homeowners honest advice, quality workmanship and a builder they could trust.
What you can expect from working with us
✔ Honest advice.
✔ Clear communication from your first enquiry through to completion.
✔ Respect for your home while we work. We know inviting a builder into your home is a big deal, and we never take that trust for granted.
✔ A builder who turns up when he says he will.
✔ Quality workmanship with no shortcuts.
Meet the Team
LWC is a family-run business, and when you work with us, you'll always know who's looking after your project. Lyndsay is our Licensed Building Practitioner and is on the tools every day, often working alongside a labourer or seasonal team member depending on the project. And behind the scenes, Lisa keeps everything running smoothly in the office. Because this is our family business, every project matters to us. We treat every home with the same care and attention we'd expect in our own, and we're proud to build lasting relationships with our clients across the West Coast.
Here we are pictured with our two future apprentices!
"Lyndsay consistently offered me good advice. He was focused on doing good quality work and was not prepared to rush any of the work to finish quicker. The quality of his work was generally very good."
