Builders in Cambridge for custom and lifestyle homes

Home builders for Cambridge, from just down the road

Tamahere sits between Hamilton and Cambridge, so Cambridge is close to home for us. People building here often want a bit more room, a home that suits the land, and a builder who answers the phone.

Not a standard plan with your name on it

We’re trusted lifestyle home builders in Tamahere, Matangi, Tauwhare and Cambridge. We’re not a franchise and we don’t work from a fixed catalogue. We usually design from scratch, so you get the house you want.

Town section or lifestyle block?

• Town sections: orientation, privacy and street appeal matter most.
• Lifestyle blocks: room for outdoor living, a pool or big garage.
• Rural services: water storage, wastewater and longer power runs.
• Subdivision guidelines: read covenants before you fall for a design.

Walking the site together

We’ll walk the site with you, talk through what the land suggests and help you think about where the money is best spent.

Homes we’ve built near Cambridge

We don’t have a Cambridge home in our gallery yet, but two nearby builds in Tamahere give a good sense of the work.

The Bates home

The Bates home is clad in schist stone under a dark tiled roof. A gabled covered outdoor area with a stone fireplace looks over a fenced pool, and inside there’s a games room, a home office and a three-car garage wing.

The Stableford home

The Stableford home pairs a dark tiled roof with brick cladding and large black garage doors. A kitchen with a large central island opens to a light-filled living space with soaring ceilings, and a wood stove anchors the lounge.

Custom home builder for Cambridge: ways to build

Many Cambridge clients arrive with plans drawn by their architect, and we enjoy turning a well-considered design into a well-built home. Read more about building an architect-designed home with us.

Consent, then construction

Others come with land and an idea, and we design from there. Either way, your designer or architect prepares the drawings for consent, council issues the consent, and we start building once it’s issued.

What to bring to a first chat

• Details of your section, including any covenants.
• A sense of your budget.
• How you live now and what you’d change.
• Plans, sketches or photos of homes you like.

“Because they usually design from scratch we got the house we wanted rather than having to work from a standard plan as some other companies do.”
