We’re pretty special…
When you choose The Custom Space, you're accessing some of the top talent in the Nelson Tasman region. Our team consists of highly skilled designers, detailers, and joiners, each bringing a wealth of expertise and training to the table. We are passionate, award-winning craftspeople dedicated to ongoing learning and improvement. Our strong culture of development helps us stay current with industry innovations and actively contribute to them.
The Custom Space is a family owned business. Managing Director Jack Wells brings over 18 years of experience in the industry. Growing up in a family of boat builders in the Marlborough Sounds, he has always been drawn to hands-on projects.
In 2014, he established Jackson & Co., a joinery and design business. Three years later, he seized the chance to acquire a local spray painting shop. He then rebranded both businesses as The Custom Space and The Custom Finish, transforming them into competitive leaders in the market.
But this is really all about you…
Investing in custom made joinery is a big deal! For many it's a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We understand this, so we place your experience and satisfaction with the outcome at the centre of our operations.
We are here to listen. From your initial consultation with a Designer, through the complete end-to-end process, we will work in close collaboration with you to understand, guide and achieve your vision while fulfilling your desires and requirements.
Openness and transparency are some of our core values at The Custom Space. We'll be honest and open with you. This includes important factors like budget, timeframe and any problems, should they arise.
Ultimately, we place your interests first. We consider anything less than a five-star review a failure!
True Joiners
We use modern practices, however we're not hiding behind our CNC machine. With some of the most capable joiners in the region, through thoughtful use of manufacturing automation and traditional techniques, we are able to bring to life unique designs that best utilize and showcase the materials we are so passionate about.
Many of our Joiners have well in excess of 10 years' industry experience and bring a wealth of knowledge and skill gained both in-house and at other reputable joinery businesses across the Nelson Tasman and New Zealand.
Robust Processes & Quality Control
At The Custom Space, every project is built on well-established systems and rigorous quality control. Our experienced team follows these practices throughout the full design and manufacturing process—ensuring accuracy, smooth coordination, and consistently high-quality results.
These proven systems not only uphold exceptional craftsmanship but also enable reliable production timelines and on-time delivery—key reasons The Custom Space stands out across the Nelson Tasman region.
Our clients notice the difference. Backed by a wealth of five-star reviews, we’re proud to consistently exceed expectations through expert joinery, efficient processes, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.
