ABOUT -About Ana & Ahi
We’re Ana and Ahi — the husband-and-wife team behind Coastline Renovations Ltd., a locally owned and operated business based right here in sunny Tairāwhiti.
We started this journey not just to build structures, but to build a lifestyle that reflects who we are: family-first, hands-on, and community-minded. With Ahi’s years of experience in construction and Ana’s background in social work, we bring a grounded, people-first approach to everything we do.
In 2021, we took a leap of faith — mid-pandemic, tools in hand, with a toddler underfoot — and launched Coastline Renovations. Since then, we’ve been creating outdoor spaces that help others live better at home: spaces to gather, to grow, to unwind, and to thrive.

What We Stand For
Our mission…
To create high-quality, functional, and beautiful outdoor spaces that reflect the unique lifestyle of Tairāwhiti, while upholding values of integrity, sustainability, and whānau.
Our vision…
To become the go-to name in Tairāwhiti for outdoor renovations — known not just for excellent craftsmanship, but for our commitment to people, planet, and purpose.
Whether it's a simple deck extension or a complete outdoor transformation, we approach every job with the same care and intention as if it were our own home.
Our Values…
Whānau – Our family is involved in every part of the journey, from our son Isaiah lending a hand in school holidays, to our extended whānau and church supporting us behind the scenes.
Community – We’re passionate about giving back — mentoring rangatahi, sponsoring local sports teams, and employing local talent.
Faith – Our Christian values guide the way we do business: honestly, humbly, and with purpose.
Sustainability – From repurposing materials to using eco-conscious products like bamboo and recycled composites, we build with care for the whenua.
