Frames Up at Kaitoke – The Build is On!
The concrete is in the ground, and now the bones are going up. Framing has landed on-site at Lake Wiritoa this week, and this architectural build is starting to take shape. Private bedroom wing, massive open-plan living, a dedicated family room and outdoor living built for serious hosting – it’s the build to watch in 2026!
Trusses Down, Roof Next at Benefield
Trusses are practically done and the Benefield Street build is moving at pace. This cottage-style home was designed with a clear purpose – a quieter pace of life, outdoor entertaining that works, room for the family to come and go, and a garden that gives you something to do without taking over your weekends. Simple brief. And we’re delivering!
Two New Healthy Homes. Another Smart Development
The roofing is wrapping up at Abbot Street and windows and doors are just around the corner on these two new builds. Designed as smart, easy infill, these homes are a direct response to what Whanganui’s rental market actually needs right now – warm, dry, low-maintenance housing stock. Healthy Homes tick of approval, they’re practical, efficient and built to last. No unnecessary extras, no wasted space – just two solid homes delivering real value in a market where quality supply is still playing catch-up with demand.
Two Neighbors, One Vision – The Niblett Street Story
Decks going in, kitchens being installed, landscaping underway – the four Niblett Street homes are reaching the final stages. This one started with two neighbors and a shared idea, and it’s turned into exactly the kind of well-executed infill development Whanganui needs more of. Simple premise, strong follow-through.
