We build high-quality, sustainable single-family homes for older couples, young families, and friends who just want to build a community of homes together.
We build high-quality, warm, dry, and energy-efficient homes. Whether it's your starter home, or your forever home, we are here to support you through the process.
We will guide you through the process of selecting the perfect design for your site. We understand the importance of harmonizing your new home with its surroundings while minimizing its environmental impact. We will also help you get quotes for any material changes and incorporate that into the cost provided up front to you.
Our expert team will work with you to organize all the documentation you need for the build. If there are any site surveys or reports needed to apply for consent, we will work with you to organize them.
Most of the building is modular and produced off-site in our factory. Once your site is prepped and ready for installation, we will arrive with the modules and install everything ourselves. If you have a preferred tradesperson you like working with, let us know and we can work with them for the project. On-site construction to the lock-up stage should usually be done within a few weeks.
We expect to be able to hand you the keys within 3 months. We aim to reach lock-up stage within 2-3 weeks of arriving on site, and we work with incredible builders, plumbers and electricians to do fit-out and finish as quickly as possible.
Yes, we can definitely help you out! We expect a longer delivery time as we will need to have our Structural engineers evaluate any new designs in order to get them approved for construction. On-site construction should be similar timing.
On balance, the total cost of a New Neighbour often pans out to be about the same (or a bit cheaper) as conventional construction, but you're getting a building with significantly better performance in terms of energy, environmental impact and finished quality.
Our build costs are heavily contingent on the fixtures and finishes you choose for the home, but we target a build cost a bit below the CANSTAR regional average. As of 2025, in the Bay of Plenty for example, that's around $3610 (inc GST). Once we know the specifics of your build, we aim to provide you a fixed price.
