What a way to end out the year! 14 homes successfully handed over and moved in by residents in Kaiapoi, North Canterbury. Projects like this demonstrate the skill, precision, and teamwork it takes to deliver high-quality, liveable homes at scale. From the initial planning to the final handover, every step has been a testament to our commitment to excellence in residential construction.

We are proud to mark the completion and successful handover of 14 homes in Kaiapoi, North Canterbury. This project reflects the collective expertise and dedication of our team and partners, who worked tirelessly to ensure these homes meet a high standard of quality, design, and liveability. Large-scale residential construction is never without its challenges, and projects like this highlight the importance of collaboration, attention to detail, and a shared vision. Each step, from planning through to handover, is an opportunity to refine how we deliver for the families and communities that will call these spaces home. This achievement is not just about the buildings themselves but about the trust placed in us to contribute meaningfully to the fabric of the Kaiapoi community. It is a privilege to play a role in strengthening the foundations of this kāinga and its future.

We couldn't be more proud of our team this year for their commitment to our values! Our values aren’t just words on a wall, they define who we are, guide our decisions, and ground us in everything we do. They reflect our commitment to staying true to our Kaupapa and building more than just great projects; we’re building a culture we’re proud of. This year, we received an incredible 74 monthly value nominations across the team. Every nomination reflects someone living these values and going above and beyond to make a difference. We couldn’t be prouder of the individuals who consistently embody the essence of our Kaupapa. A heartfelt thank you to our team for being the driving force behind our success. Together, we’re not just building homes, we’re building trust, respect, and a culture of excellence. Here’s to more milestones, more recognition, and continuing to bring our values to life every single day.

Yesterday, our Christchurch team participated in a refresher GAT session with the outstanding crew from MATES in Construction NZ reinforcing the importance of mental health awareness in our industry. The challenges facing our sector when it comes to mental health remain significant, but organisations like MATES are making a tangible difference. Their message is simple yet powerful: 'mates helping mates'. It’s about creating a supportive environment where open conversations are encouraged, and we all take the time to check in with one another. We’re proud to stand alongside MATES and continue supporting their essential work. By equipping our teams with the knowledge and tools to care for each other, we’re not just improving workplaces—we’re saving lives. Together, we can break down stigma and lead the way toward a healthier, more compassionate industry.

Congratulations to our team and all build partners for your excellent efforts in handing over another 6 homes on 20-22 Hillary Crescent, Riccarton. It's so great to see families already moving in and making these places their home. Thank you to all involved for your great mahi. We could not achieve all that we do without you!

Wow! Massive thank you to all build partners and our team involved in delivering this recent project in Rangiora, North Canterbury! What makes our work truly meaningful is the impact it has. Each home added to New Zealand’s housing landscape doesn’t just increase supply, it provides a foundation for families, stability for communities, and momentum toward addressing the nation’s housing challenges. By delivering across a range of housing needs, we’re contributing to a future where every Kiwi has access to a place they can call home. From thoughtfully designed family homes to complex multi-unit developments. Every build is a testament to the passion, expertise, and attention to detail that define Home Construction. Our team’s versatility and skill are capable of handling projects that range from one home to 150. Regardless of the scale, the quality remains uncompromising, and the results speak for themselves. Once again, a massive thank you to all the hands involved on this project, we couldn't have done it without you!
