Lifestyle home builders for Matangi and Tauwhare

Matangi and Tauwhare sit east of Hamilton, right next to Tamahere. We’re trusted lifestyle home builders in Tamahere, Matangi, Tauwhare and Cambridge. Our office is a short drive away, so we can be on site often.

Working with the land

Both areas are rural in feel, with lifestyle blocks and views across open country. We start by walking the site together to see where the sun falls, where the wind comes from and which views matter.

What building in Matangi and Tauwhare tends to involve

  • Bigger sites: more choice about where the house goes.
  • Rural services: rainwater tanks and on-site wastewater need planning.
  • Outdoor living: covered areas and wide sliders you’ll actually use.
  • Future plans: room for a workshop, studio or family later.

Builders in Tauwhare and Matangi: ways to build

Many clients here arrive with plans from their architect, while others come with just land and ideas. We’re glad to build an architect-designed home or design one with you from scratch.

Consent and timing

Your designer or architect prepares the drawings for consent, council issues the building consent, and we start building once it’s issued. Construction generally takes 7 to 12 months from then.

Designing for life on a block

  • Where will you come in with boots and gear?
  • Which way should living areas face for sun and view?
  • Do you need room for family to stay?
  • How big does the garage or shed need to be?
“Their professional and friendly approach made the whole design and build process an enjoyable experience.”

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do you build in Tauwhare as well as Matangi?
Yes. Both are next door to our Tamahere base. There’s no Matangi or Tauwhare home in our gallery yet, but our nearby Tamahere builds show the kind of work we do.
What should I think about before building on a lifestyle block?
Start with the land: sun, views, exposure, and how you’ll get water and deal with wastewater. Think about sheds and future plans too. We’re happy to walk your block with you before design begins.
Can you build from my architect’s plans?
Yes. Many of our clients arrive with fully developed architectural plans, and others at concept stage. We work with architects across the Waikato and will happily build from your plans or help develop them.
