New homes

Architectural and first homes built to your design, your site and your budget.

New homes

A one off home, built the way you want it

We build to your design, your preferences and your site. Many of our clients want to stay involved and know what they want and can afford. If you would like more help with selections, we look after that too.

Our team is good at finding solutions for one off projects. They need more communication and building skill than a standard plan from a volume builder, with its limited options. We are NZ Certified Builders members with a proven track record, and we can offer a Halo 10 year guarantee.

What we take on

New home work we do

From a tiny home beside the main house to a large family home on the water.

Architectural homes

Your architect's design, built with the care and communication a one off home needs.

First homes

Built to your plans and your budget, with help on selections if you want it.

Home and income

For example a four bedroom home with an adjoining one or two bedroom unit.

Homes for extended families

Homes within homes, so generations can live together and still have their own space.

Tiny homes

Standalone, self contained living, like the tiny home we built beside the main house in Tuakau.

Coastal homes

Durable, low maintenance builds for exposed sites, like our waterfront home on the Manukau Harbour.

Budgeting

Three things that keep a new build on budget

Bring us in early

An experienced builder can spot high costs or tricky details in a design before it goes to consent.

A clear brief and consented plans

With a clear brief from you and council consented plans from your architect, we can price exactly what you want up front.

Decide early

Choosing materials and fittings before work starts means fewer last minute changes and fewer delays getting trades or materials.

Halo 10 year residential guarantee

As NZ Certified Builders members we can offer one of the most complete 10 year guarantees on the market. It is run independently, and it moves to the new owner if you sell within 10 years.

He’s an outstanding builder, reliable, fast and cost effective. And his work is top quality. I wouldn’t use any other builder for any work, large or small.

New home FAQ

Before you start

When should I involve a builder?

That depends on you. Some clients come with plans already drawn. Others like a builder’s input from the start, because an experienced builder can spot high costs or tricky details in a design early.

With charge up you pay for the actual time and materials, but the final price is unknown and can end up over budget. A fixed price gives you more certainty from the start. It works well for new builds with a clear brief, where materials and fittings are already chosen.

A new home needs a building consent. We work with your architect and can tell you what your project needs.

As NZ Certified Builders members we can offer the Halo 10 year residential guarantee. It is run independently of NZCB, so your home stays covered even in the unlikely event that something happens to us or to NZCB. If you sell within 10 years, the guarantee moves to the new owner. The premium is included in most of our quotes, and we apply for it before work starts.
