Meet Etienne van Huyssteen, a seasoned professional in the construction industry. After earning his BSc Honours in Construction Management back in 2009, he dove headfirst into the field. Fast forward 18 years, and he's not only amassed a wealth of experience but has built a network of construction relationships that has driven the start of Zaltsteen Construction in 2025.
He's a proud and active member of the NZIOB, where he's recognized as a Chartered Building Professional. Committed to never-ending growth, Etienne continually seeks new opportunities for development in his field.


At Zaltsteen Construction, we are committed to building responsibly — not just for today, but for the generations to come. We actively incorporate sustainable building practices across our projects, including waste reduction, responsible material sourcing, and energy-efficient construction methods. From early design input to site management, we look for ways to minimise environmental impact and support our clients in meeting green building goals. As a growing company, we’re continuously improving our systems to exceed New Zealand’s sustainability standards and to help protect the natural environment we’re proud to work in.

Zaltsteen Construction, much like the 'salt of the earth', aims to add value and integrity to the world of construction. Just as salt enhances flavor and preserves food, we strive to enhance our industry with quality work and preserve ethical business practices. Our name, Zaltsteen, a combination of 'Salt' and 'Stone', serves as a constant reminder of our commitment to strength, durability, and positive influence in our field.
Etienne's ability to liaise effectively with our team and his adaptability to our requests contributed significantly to the project's smooth execution.
I have no hesitation in recommending Etienne for any future construction work.
The logistical challenges of site access, construction and safety of the school staff and students was managed well , resulting in building completion three months ahead of schedule.
We are looking for top talent to expand our team, so please get in touch.
