As New Zealand’s expert home designers and builders, we pride ourselves on crafting architectural homes that reflect innovation, expertise, and attention to detail. With an in-house design team and long-standing partnerships with trusted builders, we’re your one-stop shop for creating a home built around you. Just as important as the design itself is how we manage the build – ensuring quality is upheld at every stage of construction. But what does this look like? Our Project Managers across our group, Caleb, Trent, and Darryn have shared their insights into the systems and checks that help us deliver consistently high standards.
With over 33 years in the industry, we’ve developed strong, long-standing relationships with some of the most trusted subcontractors in the business. Many of our regional partners come from building backgrounds themselves, which has played a key role in helping us identify and work with sub-trades who share our high standards and commitment to quality.
To maintain a high standard across every build, we rely on detailed checklists at every major stage of construction – amounting to over 480 individual checks throughout the process. This ensures that every step, from framing to finishing, meets our expectations. If something isn’t quite right, we don’t gloss over it. The build pauses and the issue is resolved properly before we move forward.
Clear and constant communication onsite is another key part of maintaining our high standards. Our Project Managers stay in close contact with clients, builders, and sub-trades throughout the build, making sure everyone is aligned on the expectations for workmanship and finish. Regular site meetings and open feedback create opportunities to address questions early, give direction, and ensure that any concerns are quickly resolved. By keeping communication flowing, we create an environment where quality is continually reinforced and improvements are made at every stage.
Creating one-of-a-kind homes without compromising on quality is at the heart of what we do. Every Design Builders home comes with the reassurance of a Master Builders guarantee – a trusted sign that your home is being designed and built by experienced professionals, giving you real peace of mind.

No matter where you are on your home journey, we’re here to bring your vision to life. Our team will help you achieve the best possible outcome, combining outstanding design, craftsmanship, and value without ever compromising on quality. With a dedicated in-house design team and trusted construction partners, we are your one-stop shop to creating a home built around you.
