Why Build With Us?

Eight reasons to build with Hawkins Homes.

We want to help you first imagine and then move into a home that you can be proud of – a home that’s built using the best building practises and highest quality materials.

01

A valuable home for less

We consistently deliver the most value-for-money new home builds within the Auckland housing market. In fact, our homes are frequently valued $50,000 above our selling price. Independent valuers have commented on this.* That means you’ll move into a beautiful, high-quality home, that’s worth a lot more than what you paid for it.

There are no ‘hidden’ costs built into our figures for middlemen because we’re the owners of the business. There are no sales commissions, large offices, and franchise fees like other large group builders. Ours is a lean, paperless (fully digital) business structure. You also benefit from volume purchasing for materials pricing. All of this adds up to costs savings.

02

A fixed contract means no surprises

Hawkins Homes provides you with a Fixed Contact for the cost of your new home. That means no hidden costs or thousand dollars of extras (or Provisional Costs) like some builders may charge. We’ve been doing this long enough to know how much things like drainage, and earthworks costs, in fact everything that goes into a final build – so we can give you an accurate fixed price from the start.

03

The home you want

We are proud of the homes that we have built – we put you first, and make sure you are involved in the process. Whatever you need in a new home, we can do: from helping you with the layout and style of your home, to all the necessary planning and building regulation procedures. We offer full house plans, customised plans or designs from scratch. We take care of building consents and any required structural engineering designs and calculations.

Quality building practises, high-quality materials

We are Members of the NZ Certified Builders (AA06100) and our team are Licensed Building Practitioners (LBP). That means we will never cut corners, and our experienced builders do work that stands the test of time.

We use the highest quality construction materials, so your home will be strongly built. This includes top plates, and 35m steel battens, double nogged frames – so your house won’t flex or continuously crack. We use solid timber finishing on door jams, architraves and skirting – not inferior MDF finishing. What’s more we do quality checks from start to finish.

Project management you can trust

At Hawkin’s Homes you can be sure that you are in safe hands. Your new home will be supervised and managed by an experienced builder: Paul Cronin. He built his first home back in the 1980s so he has the expertise to ensure that your new home is built to the highest of standards. He will also provide regular updates and images of your build as it progresses.

Our 10-Year Build Guarantee

As New Zealand Certified Builders we are able to provide a fully comprehensive fixed building contract, and a Ten-Year Guarantee. We stand by our work – and are confident that you and your family will have a home you can be proud of for the decades that come.

Our financial security offers peace of mind

Building a home could be one of the biggest investments you make. You need to know that your builder has the financial strength to deliver your home on time and on budget. Hawkins Homes does. As 95% of our home builds are funded by the purchaser, we are a cashflow positive company.

With our financial strength from many years in business, backed by Westpac our banking partner, combined with having small overheads compared to bigger operators, you can be sure that your money is safe with us.

Site Safety

We take safety seriously. We have a unique site-safety plan that we develop in conjunction with Harzardco for each build we undertake. This means that we always comply with all the required safety standards and ensures that not only are our workers safe, but you will be too if you visit our site.

We were greeted by a lovely, down to earth developer who we got a really good vibe off. We didn’t feel like we were just a number and he took the time to explain things through for us on many occasions.

When I came for colour and kitchen selection Therese looked after me very well. Therese made it easy for me to choose everything rather than making it more complicated. It was a personalized experience - like she is choosing for her own house.

From when we first enquired about building with Hawkins Homes in October/November 2020 until moving in to our New Home in March 2022 the process has been made really easy by all of your team. Whether it be answering all of our questions, sorting out the colouring of the bricks or helping us sort our front fence nothing has been any trouble.
