Auckland New Home Builder: Expert Construction Services for Your Dream Home
Why Choose Cain Built as Your New Home Builder
Having worked around many of the possible problems that can occur with new builds, our team of experienced new home builders have gained plenty of hands-on experience and valuable in-depth knowledge, ensuring a successful, high-quality and stress-free build – you can relax knowing you’re in good hands with a professional new home builder like Cain Built.
Need some help getting started? Cain Built can take care of the entire building process from start to finish. We have relationships with some of the best architects and draughtsmen in Auckland and can suggest a short-list best fit for your project and budget for you to choose from. From there they will help transform your ideas into working plans. They will also give you options to think about so you can make an informed decision.
Our team has a great eye for detail, so it’s often worth running plans past us prior to them being submitted to Council, as we may spot potential issues with the design – this has saved many clients a lot of money in the past.
If you have an architect already in mind (or existing plans) and prefer to work with them, that’s also fine. We’ll communicate with your architect directly and promptly so that they can get started.
If you decide to make changes to your plans down the line don’t worry, it’s covered through a variation to the contract. We’ll give you some options to consider and ample time to then decide what will best suit you and your budget.
A great design is simply an expensive exercise unless it’s built to similarly high standards. As experienced new home builders, we take pride in the work we do and have built close relationships with our sub-trades, so we know the team we have on site are all experts in their field and can deliver on your expectations.

Sustainable Building Practices by Your Trusted New Home Builder
Sustainability has become an inevitable part of modern house builds. At Cain Built, we can help you incorporate these building practices. Some of these practices are now part of recent legislation – for example the new H1 reform which requires homes with higher thermal ratings than previously required.
Other options may have an additional upfront cost but offer environmental benefits and long-term savings over the service life of the implemented option – for example solar panels.
Sustainability options available through Cain Built:
Energy Efficiency
Premium Insulations: We use high-quality insulation materials to lower energy consumption, while keeping your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer. This reduces your energy bills too.
Advanced Windows and Doors: As experienced new home builders, we design and build homes with energy-efficient windows and doors to minimise heat loss.
Renewable Energy
Solar Panels: Renewable energy sources like solar panels can lower your reliance on non-renewable energy.
Eco-Friendly Materials
Sustainable homes offer significant long-term savings through reduced energy bills and lower maintenance costs. By using low-VOC (volatile organic compounds) products and sustainable materials, you can create a home with better indoor air quality, improving your overall living environment.
Talk to us about sourcing sustainable materials, using low-carbon concrete, incorporating recycled materials and using low-VOC paints and finishes if this is something you would like to explore.
Waste Reduction and Management
Construction Waste Management: As responsible new home builders, we endeavour to manage our waste. We implement various waste management strategies to lower our construction waste when viable and recycle and repurpose materials whenever possible.
Water Conservation: Homes with water-efficient fixtures and rainwater harvesting systems can reduce water usage and promote sustainability.

Frequently Asked Questions About Working with a New Home Builder
How much does it cost to build a new home in Auckland?
The cost of building a new home in Auckland typically ranges from $4,000 to $6,000+ per square metre, depending on factors such as location, site conditions, design complexity, material selections and the level of finishes. As experienced new home builders, Cain Built provides detailed, transparent pricing after first understanding your specific requirements – ensuring you have a clear picture of all costs involved before construction begins.
How long does it take to build a new house in New Zealand?
The timeline for building a new home in New Zealand generally ranges from 6-12 months for standard builds, though this can vary based on factors such as house size, complexity, weather conditions, and consent processes. At Cain Built, we provide a detailed construction schedule during the planning phase and keep you updated throughout the building process.
What is the difference between a volume builder and a custom new home builder?
Volume builders offer standardised house designs with limited customisation options at lower price points, while custom new home builders like Cain Built create bespoke homes tailored specifically to your requirements, preferences, and site conditions.
Do I need to find my own architect before approaching a company to build our new home?
No, at Cain Built, we can recommend trusted architects from our professional network who align with your vision and budget. Alternatively, if you already have an architect or plans, we’re happy to work with them directly. Involving us early in the design process can help identify potential issues and cost-saving opportunities.

Reputable builders in New Zealand typically offer several layers of protection. As members of both Master Builders and New Zealand Certified Builders Associations, Cain Built provides comprehensive 10-year guarantees on our workmanship.
