The short answer to this question is 'local stone'. For anywhere the first buildings are needed, almost by definition, items such as roading and transport infrastructure are absent or in their infancy.
In Central Otago, schist would be the stone type; in Dunedin the local supply of volcanic stone ensures their easy use; in Oamaru there are both limestones ofo several sorts, and some volcanic stone as well.
