Christchurch’s Safe Space to Learn DIY With Confidence

BUILT BY HER

A Place Where Women Learn to Build

We’re creating a Christchurch-based space designed to give women a safe, welcoming environment to learn practical DIY skills for the home.

Whether you’ve never picked up a tool before or you want to deepen your knowledge, this space is about confidence, capability, and community.

Led by experienced, qualified builders and LBP professionals, our workshops are hands-on, practical, and designed to make the building industry more approachable.

Who is this for?

  • Homeowners wanting more confidence

  • Women interested in learning about tools 

  • DIY beginners

  • Anyone wanting practical knowledge in a safe environment

Whether you’re seeking serious new knowledge or simply something empowering to do on a weekend with friends — there’s a place for you here

Weekly Workshop Schedule

We believe confidence isn’t built in a single evening — it’s built through practice. That’s why our workshops are structured as progressive learning series, designed to give you real skills, not just surface-level exposure.

Tuesday Evenings

6:30pm – 8:30pm

Thursday Evenings

6:30pm – 8:30pm

Saturday Sessions

9:00am – 12:00pm
1:00pm – 4:00pm
