Building in Upper Moutere
Upper Moutere is home for us, our office and workshop are here. We know its rural sites, its sun and its soils, and we build homes that sit quietly in the landscape and perform beautifully inside.
Why build with us here
We are local in the truest sense: you will pass our workshop on the way to your site. On one Moutere site alone we have built two high-performance homes, the Green House and the Blue House. And with open-book pricing you see every dollar as the build progresses.
Our Upper Moutere builds

The Green House
Built to the Passive House standard: Formance SIPs, MAXRaft slab, blower-door tested.

A high-performance home sharing the same Upper Moutere hilltop as the Green House.

Building in the Moutere, answered.
Are you based in Upper Moutere?
Yes. Our office and workshop are at 79 Rowling Loop, Upper Moutere. We have lived and built in the Moutere since 2006, so your builder is genuinely around the corner, not across the region.
Do you build Passive Homes here?
Yes. The Green House on the same Upper Moutere site was built to the Passive House standard: Formance SIPs, an insulated MAXRaft slab and blower-door testing to prove the airtightness. We build Passive Homes across the district.
What areas around the Moutere do you cover?
Everything within easy reach of the workshop: the Moutere valley, Mapua, Tasman village, Motueka and across to Richmond and Nelson. If you are unsure, ask, the answer is usually yes.
