New Homes
Family homes and architect-designed builds
We build new homes in Greytown and right across the Wairarapa, working with all three councils on consents. Some clients come to us with an architect and a full set of plans, others with a section and a rough idea of what they'd like. We can work with you from either starting point, and we also do renovations and extensions.
Kieran meets you at the start, prices the build himself and stays your main contact through to handover. You'll deal with the same small team the whole way through, and you'll always know how things are tracking.
Where to start
Whatever stage you're at, we can take it from there.
Start with an idea
Not sure what you want yet? We'll talk it through and put you in touch with designers we work with, then help with pricing and consents.
Bring your plans
Already working with an architect? We'll review the drawings, give you a preliminary price and work closely with them through the build.
Check a section first
Thinking of buying land? We can look at it with you and point out anything that could add cost, like slope, soil or access.

New home questions
Can't see your question here? Give Kieran a call on 027 518 8876.
What's involved in getting council consent?
Your plans go to the local council for building consent, which usually takes 4 to 8 weeks depending on the project. We work with the South Wairarapa, Carterton and Masterton councils regularly, and we'll help keep things moving with your designer.
How long does a new build take?
Most homes take between 6 and 12 months from breaking ground to handover, depending on the size of the build and the weather. Building consent usually adds 4 to 8 weeks beforehand.
Do I need an architect?
Not always. We regularly build from architects' and designers' plans, and if you're starting from scratch we're happy to put you in touch with designers we know and trust.
Can you look at a section before I buy it?
Yes, and it's well worth doing. We'll walk the site with you and point out anything that could add cost, such as slope, soil, drainage or access.
Is my home covered by a guarantee?
Yes. As Registered Master Builders, we can offer the 10-year Master Build Guarantee on the new homes we build, for extra peace of mind.
