Farm Buildings & Sheds
Farm Buildings & Sheds

Here at Stu Bell Construction, we have built a wide range of kit set pole sheds in a number of different sizes and purposes for all kinds of farmers in Canterbury.

Meet the Director:
Stu Bell

I grew up on a farm in Ruapuna, a small farming community on the outskirts of Ashburton.

From a very young age I was working and helping out on the farm. I purchased my own animals to rear and sell. I jumped on the tractor to help at busy times carting hay bales or cultivating a paddock.

This was just the beginning in learning the importance of strong work ethics and reliability, as well as gaining practical skills along the way.

2006 I left school and started my apprenticeship with a very reputable well-known building company in Ashburton, specializing in high spec homes and dairy sheds.

I worked alongside and was supported by some amazing builders, and would like to acknowledge the ‘good old fashioned’ values and skills that they have installed in me.

I was fortunate to have been trusted and given the responsibility within the business at a young age and have learnt so much about managing clients, sub contractors and large numbers of employees on some very busy sites.

In early 2010 I graduated to become a qualified builder.

2011 I build my first house in the Ashburton subdivision ‘Braebrook’, during weekends and after work.

2012 I decided it was the right time to meet my challenge and start out on my own. This had been a personal goal for me from the beginning of my apprenticeship.

2013 I employed a labourer, I was absolutely determined and we succeeded to demonstrate to my clients how well we worked together, how we strived with pride for excellence and quality in our workmanship. From there we have continued to grow and we now have three staff members with the same expertise and high caliber of skills and workmanship.

2017 has been a highlight in my life with the marriage to my wife Hannah. We were delighted to welcome our son Fraser, and in 2018 we are thrilled to announce the arrival of Henry.

Spare time is focused on finding a good balance in life and having fun along the way.

I enjoy jet boating up the rivers, hunting for Thar and deer. Hannah and I cherish family summer holidays with lots of water skiing, camping, friends and fun times.

    Jill and David Quigley
  • Right from my first meeting with Stu, I was immediately put at ease and felt extremely confident that my vision for my new home would come to fruition. Stu and his teams professionalism was obvious, everything was explained and Stu was across every part of the build and kept me informed throughout, he and his team had some great suggestions that enhanced my home that I wouldn’t have thought of. The use of Buildertrend App was such an amazing tool to have, I always knew what was happening and all invoices and communication is in one place making everything very easy and accessible. Many people say that building a new home can be very stressful but I can wholeheartedly say I was never stressed. Attention to detail was impeccable and nothing was ever a problem. I was so impressed with the quality of workmanship and the manner in which my home was completed that I employed Stu and his team to build an additional home on my farm. Cannot recommend Stu, Hannah and their team highly enough.

  • In 2020 we decided to extend and refresh several areas of our 1960's home. We decided to go with Stu Bell and his team, and this is a decision we never regretted. Right from the start we enjoyed Stu's practical input, his builders where great guys and we were aware of all costs on the go with their use of the Builder Trend App. We are extremely happy with the results, so it was no surprise that when we needed to build a new 2-bedroom staff house Stu Bell Construction once again was the firm we went with. A new home build was exciting and we enjoyed this process and are over the moon with the result. We would have no hesitation in recommending Stu Bell Construction. Meet with Stu you won't be disappointed.
