A GREAT FOUNDATION
BEGINS WITH ZB HOMES

ZB Homes Building your dreams

Custom Build & Design

Bespoke design and build service

For a truly bespoke build experience, ZB Homes provides a complete design and build service. We’ll help you create a home fully customised for your needs, providing you with more options than if you were to buy existing plans, or tweak them. 

With a wide selection of sections to choose from, you select the size, views and positioning perfect for your lifestyle. We then design a home that compliments your vision, preferences and section choice.

There is something truly special about creating a home that is yours alone. View some of our featured design and build projects and then give us a call to arrange a time at our design centre to discuss all the possibilities for new home.

DESIGN YOUR DREAM HOME FROM SCRATCH

Enjoy the ZB Homes Build Process

Building a new home can be daunting. Many people worry about the financial side of funding a new build.

There are lots of horror stories about hidden costs, variations, price overruns, delays, product defects and poor workmanship – our mission is to take all of those worries away from you early on, so you enjoy the process and keep your peace of mind. 

After-all, building a new home is a dream, so let’s keep it that way!

Our Process

OUR ZB Homes CLIENTS GET

Price
Certainty

Everything is included in your contract price (we leave the curtains/blinds up to you). That way you don’t have to worry about going over budget, or finding extra cash towards at the end of the build, so moving in is much more enjoyable and stress-free. You’ll be provided with a full list of specifications, so you know exactly what your new home will become.

Completion
Certainty

If you’re renting or selling, you need a reliable completion date to work towards. You need to know when to give your landlord notice, or when to settle if you’re selling an existing home. While there are external factors that impact on how long a build takes e.g. the weather, we provide you with an accurate time frame for completion a month out from your build. That way you can go ahead and make all the necessary arrangements you need.

Lots of
Choices

The fun part of building a new home is making it your own; we want you to enjoy this experience! We pride ourselves on providing our clients with a full range of options. Our team stay on the cusp of what is new and exciting, so you are aware of the latest products and technology. You can choose to up spec, spec down or invest more in some rooms and less in others. You can even build an Eco-home or Passive Home. The choice is entirely yours.

Certified
Builders

ZB Homes are members of the New Zealand Certified Builders Association. Certified Builders is different from other associations in that members have to meet rigorous entry criteria that includes being licensed and having a trade qualification. What’s more, to maintain membership we need to demonstrate that we keep up-to-date with the latest building techniques and training.

Great
Contractors

We bring together some of the best contractors in the business, long serving contractors that have grown with us. They understand our processes, enjoy working for us and are committed to our clients.

Great
Communication

There is a lot involved with building, so it helps if there is someone you can talk to along the way. Our team is always here for you. We make ourselves available to answer your questions and provide you with the support you need.

Transparency

As part of the ZB experience, you’ll have access to a qualified and experienced Project Manager who will keep you well informed throughout your build. You’ll also have access to our Co-construct software. This easy-to-use software provides you with 24/7 access to building selections, upgrade options, photos and conversations. You’ll be able to see exactly what’s happening on your build. You also have the flexibility to request changes and see what they’ll cost, so you stay in control of your money.

Quality Fixtures
& Materials

We only source quality, reputable fixtures, fittings, and appliances that we know will stand the test of time. So, you can be confident of your warranties. We support local businesses, retailers, and contractors, so your money is invested back into the community. Our plumbing and electrical materials are sourced from reputable NZ based suppliers and are chosen for their reliability and extensive warranties.
We love our first home and are grateful for the team at ZB for working with our budget and making it such an easy process. We ended up with a lovely new first home, the process was easy and there was always a friendly face from the first meeting to the move in day. Everyone was always there to help which was great, we loved the communication with staff throughout the build! The Co-Construct software was also a huge benefit from my point of view. Being busy it was great to keep track of the build and also be reminded when things needed to be completed at our end. We would definitely recommend ZB Homes, especially to busy individuals who are after a stress free enjoyable process!

For us, there was no reason to not choose ZB in the end! Being local and having offices handy was our initial reason for enquiring, but when we compared our building needs between them and another building company ZB's friendly service and agreement to our design features won us over. We experienced a quick and timely build, good progress communication, reminders via Co-construct app and post-build follow-up. The building process was nowhere near as scary as we had anticipated. We would turn around and build with them again easily!

Once the red-tape and paperwork was complete and the site prepared, dealing with one project manager was excellent! Using co-construct and having a clear building timeline was helpful and inclusive. Nothing seemed too difficult, each call to Hayden was answered with ease throughout the build and after moving in. We even had visitors looking through the house asking questions looking to build themselves! We would definitely recommend building with ZB as throughout the process the whole team kept us involved in discussing each step.

The process was a joy to behold from the first meeting right through until now! We appreciated the ongoing help, no question was ever seen as ‘stupid’ and the staff were candid in their advice. Loved the system where variation were costed out and not scheduled until approval by us. Staff could not be more helpful and the process was so smooth. We had discussions with other people who had major problems and stuff ups with other builders but we had none of these! We were smiling just as hard at the finish of the built as when we made our first approach. Trust the small company compared to the franchises. We certainly recommend ZB Homes and speak fondly of them to all who will listen!

My husband and I have currently built two homes with ZB Homes over the past three years. ZB Homes works closely with their clients and offer a top quality service. The workmanship of ZB Homes is exceptional - they deliver a high standard quality finish with all of their homes be it an entry level first home or a beautiful designer home. ZB Homes goes beyond the general call of duty for their clients.

My partner Romy and I have nothing but praise for the way in which the entire home-building task was undertaken, and the professionalism and warm personal involvement by all those in the ZB Homes company throughout the process. For us, the whole process, from the original meeting with Zane to discuss the purchase of the section to the visit from Angie and Rochelle with flowers and goodie-basket to formally hand over keys and ownership papers for our new home, could not have been more pleasant. We are most grateful to them all.

I just wanted to pass on my thanks to all of you at ZB. You have all been truly amazing to deal with, and my little house has turned out the most beautiful & perfect little thing. I truly couldn’t be happier, and if I had to do it all over again – it would be exactly the same. The finishing is lovely, and I really appreciate you all bending over backwards in that last few weeks to get us in there. I would definitely recommend ZB homes to anyone I get chatting to who might be looking to build a new home. From start to finish its been fantastic – I am truly so pleased. Here’s to a fabulous future & lots of love, laughs & happiness in our new little home Thank you all so much.

We would like to thank ZB Homes and all who were involved in the build of our new home. Everyone was so helpful from the initial stage through to completion. The challenge of a less than level section required a lot of planning but once the build got underway it was completed very quickly and came in on time and budget. The management of the process from start to finish was great. We could not have asked for a more experienced and friendly team. They are committed to getting the best result for their clients. We are very happy with the experience we have had with ZB Homes and have no hesitation in recommending them to others.
