// FAQ
Your questions, answered
Still have questions?
We’re happy to help — just get in touch for a chat about your project.
Absolutely.
A minor dwelling adds value to your property, unlocks flexibility for your family, and can even pay for itself over time. It's one of the smartest upgrades you can make.
Everything from design to handover.
That means plans, consents, site work, services, the full build, and finishings. You move in (or rent it out) when it's done.
It can — or it can stand out.
We offer material and colour options that blend or contrast beautifully. It’s up to you.
Yes.
Many of our clients rent their minor dwelling — long-term or short-stay. We’ll help you build something that’s fully self-contained and rental-ready.
Lots of things.
A home for whānau. A quiet office. A creative studio. Passive income from rent. Extra space, designed to suit your life.
Nope.
We’ve got pre-designed homes ready to go, created by a team of architects we’ve partnered with. You choose the layout you like, we adapt it to your land, and you're set.
That depends on what you’re building — but we make it predictable.
Most projects start around $3,500/m². We’ll give you a detailed quote early, so there are no surprises later.
Plan to move in within a few months.
Design, approvals, and build usually take 3–6 months, depending on your site and finishes. No long waits or endless admin — we’ve streamlined every step.
Not always.
From early 2026, new rules will allow standalone homes up to 70 m² without full building consent. Until then, we’ll handle the paperwork and council steps for you.
Probably.
If you’ve got the space, there’s a good chance you can build. We’ll check the zoning, services, and site access — for free — and let you know what’s possible.
