A free building service for anyone needs it. From fixing a leaky roof to changing a light bulb and everything in between.

Otago, Central Otago District

My name's Taylor Helm and I've recently started up my own building company based in Alexandra, Central Otago. My experience is primarily in hi-end residential renovations & extensions but that is not why I'm here.

In the New Year I am going to be offering a free building service.

My aim is not to be building free houses for people that can afford it but rather helping those that may not be in a position to do things that they are needing done, big or small.

I know times are tough for a lot of people so that's where I'm hoping I can help.

The way this will work is through donation, every cent donated will go towards labour, if materials are required I will ask the person using the service to pay for that.

Being a builder, I have accounts where I can purchase materials at discounted rates meaning you will pay less for any items needed.

Because this is going to be via donation the more donated the more I can help. I'll go for as long as the funds are there to support it.

To get the ball rolling I will be doing the first $1000 in labour free. If you or someone you know (In the area) is needing some assistance with anything, even if it's just advice feel free to contact me:

taylor@stoneandwoodconstruction.co.nz

or get in contact through my Facebook page - Stone and Wood Construction.

I will be reaching out to local businesses to see if they are willing to donate or support in any way but if there are any businesses willing to support don't hesitate to get in touch.

Use of funds

All funds donated will go towards the labour and associated costs of providing a free building service. The more donated the longer the service will go.

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
