FirstBuild aims to become New Zealand’s leader in providing
high quality modern homes that offer choice, are affordable,
fast to deliver and better for the environment.
What is unique about FirstBuild?
Quality
FirstBuild homes are designed and engineered to be constructed from robust New Zealand sourced materials to ensure your home lasts the test of time.
During the build process, each step of construction is checked in a comprehensive Quality Assurance process, in addition to the normal council inspection process.
Each home is equipped with modern appliances, fixtures and fittings.
FirstBuild homes have been designed to meet and exceed the insulation and building standard requirements specified in the New Zealand building code to provide a quality warm home for you and your family.
Warranty
FirstBuild homes come with a 10 year warranty to ensure your peace of mind.
Backed by Lloyds of London, the world’s oldest insurance market, the policy guarantees that your home will be free of defects for 10 years.
The 10 Year Building Warranty also protects your deposit and guarantees completion of the build at the agreed price.
That’s real peace of mind.
Choice
If you have a family, buying your first home or moving into retirement, FirstBuild has a home for you.
FirstBuild provides a choice of 1 to 5 bedroom homes ranging from a generous 72 sqm to 163 sqm.
Choose the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, living areas and accessories and the price to match your requirements and budget.
Environment
FirstBuild has built specific design elements into our homes, and has a specialised building methodology to reduce the impact on the environment.
We can customise your home with Solar & Smart Home technology to reduce your operating costs and carbon footprint.
Our homes are designed with double-glazed windows and extensive insulation to keep your home warm and dry and reduce your heating costs.
FirstBuild homes are built in a factory, in a controlled environment, to significantly reduce the waste to landfill compared to a normal home builder.
Speed of Build
FirstBuild will partner you through the design and consent process, to when we complete the build and hand you the keys.
We have developed a specialised building methodology that reduces the average build time from 25 weeks to 10 weeks.*
FirstBuild is able to achieve rapid build times and a higher quality home production by constructing your home in a quality controlled factory and transporting it to site.
*time to build once Council Consent is granted and dependent on weather and demand conditions.
Affordable
The cost of land is typically the biggest cost of building a new home.
FirstBuild can significantly reduce your purchase price compared to other building companies because we can reduce the cost of land and have a unique construction methodology.
FirstBuild homes are designed to minimise the home’s footprint on the land which means that we can build on sections starting from as little as 150 sqm..
