These AI-generated images are designed to give you a feel for the home’s design and overall look. Final dimensions, materials, fixtures and finishes may vary.

Quality you can see.
Value that goes beyond the price.

Every NZ Granny Flats home is built with quality New Zealand-made materials, trusted products and expert Master Builder workmanship. Our homes come with a comprehensive standard specification, including many of the fixtures, fittings, appliances and finishes others may treat as upgrades or extras.

We believe quality is about more than what you can see on handover. It’s about building a comfortable, durable home that performs well, feels good to live in and stands the test of time. With clear specifications and fewer surprises, you can understand exactly what you’re getting, and why it represents genuine value.

A few things are specific to your site. Foundations, decks, and concrete pads for optional carports or garages aren’t included in our standard home specification. We’ll assess what your property needs and quote these separately, so you know exactly what’s included before you build. See our optional add-ons.
