New Home Builds
Building from scratch means every choice is yours, but only if your builder asks the right questions. We work from concept to keys with a single point of contact, weekly site updates, and documented quality control at every stage.
01Scope of work
What we do, end to end
One contract, one builder, one number to call. We handle the whole project from the first site visit to handover.
- 01Site analysis, geotechnical investigation and resource consent
- 02Architectural design, or building to plans you already hold
- 03Building consent lodged and managed on your behalf
- 04Full build to the New Zealand Building Code with documented quality control
- 05Finishing trades coordinated and held to specification
- 06Final clean, handover walk-through and Code Compliance Certificate application
02Where the value sits
Fixed-price contract
Every quote is fixed before we sign. No vague allowances, no creep. If we miss something, that is on us.
Weekly site reports
Photos, progress, and what is happening next week. You always know where your build is, even from another island.
Handover with the list closed
Final walk-through with the snag list, and we close every item before we hand the keys back. Not a surprise a month after you move in.
One number to call
You speak to one builder for the entire project, not a project manager who hands off when things get hard.
03Common questions
Worth knowing
before you ring
How long does a new build typically take?
From contract signing to handover, most single-storey new builds run seven to ten months. Two-storey or architectural builds run ten to fourteen. You get a working programme on day one and an update every week.
Can you work with my architect?
Yes, and we often do. We run a constructability review over the drawings before we quote, flag anything that will cost more than it needs to, and suggest swaps you can take or leave.
Do you handle the council consent?
Every time. We lodge the building consent, manage the inspection schedule, and front up to council if anything is queried. You do not speak to council unless you want to.
What sits outside a new build quote?
Land, geotechnical investigation, council fees, and connection fees for power, water and wastewater. Everything else, design through to fit-out, sits inside the fixed price.
