Concept Plans

We offer a selection of concept plans to help you explore layout ideas and design possibilities. These plans are for inspiration only — they are not build‑ready drawings.

Your architect will still need to draw up the final plans for submission and construction.

If you already have your own architect or plans, we’re happy to build from your design.


Cost Expectations

Every timber home is unique, and pricing depends on:

  • size
  • layout
  • finishes
  • cladding choice
  • roofing type
  • site conditions
  • verandas and outdoor spaces

We start with your photos, plans, or concept ideas, then provide a ballpark estimate.

If we’re aligned, we arrange a site visit or in-person meeting and prepare a detailed, specified quote.


Our Building Process

A simple, structured, professional workflow:

  1. Share your plans or ideas
  2. Receive a ballpark estimate
  3. Site visit or in-person meeting (if required)
  4. Detailed, specified quotation
  5. Construction scheduling and implementation
  6. Final inspection & compliance sign-off

We keep communication clear and timelines realistic.


Technical Details

We use engineered timber and compliant structural systems suited to coastal conditions, ensuring strength, stability, and long-term performance.

We use raised timber floors or concrete slab foundations depending on site conditions and design requirements.

Choose from fibre cement (nutec), timber cladding or mixed finishes for a modern, durable exterior.

Timber homes naturally regulate temperature. We enhance this with high-quality insulation for comfort year-round.

We use aluminium frames in new builds, chosen for durability, aesthetics, and coastal performance.

We offer pitched roofs, exposed trusses, verandas, and integrated outdoor structures.

Modern timber homes require minimal maintenance when built with the right materials and finishes.

All homes are built to national building standards and inspected for structural integrity and safety.
