Blending Historic Charm with Modern Luxury
Our latest project stands as the pinnacle of our craftsmanship and dedication to creating homes that seamlessly blend the best of the past and the future. This grand new build, inspired by the timeless elegance of a 1900s villa, is a true testament to our tagline: "Building the future, restoring the past." The house beautifully marries historical charm with cutting-edge technology, making it the largest smart home in New Zealand.
Transforming a Historic Bach-Style Property
Situated in the picturesque area of Days Bay, this project involved renovating a quirky, artistically influenced bach-style property. With its three levels staggered up a hillside and breathtaking views of Wellington Harbour, the challenge was to upgrade the existing wet rooms while maintaining the property’s unique character.
Mastering a Steep Site Transformation
Nestled on a steep hillside in Wellington, this project presented a unique challenge. Our task was to transform the property by constructing a new double garage, extending the living space, and creating stunning outdoor areas, all while navigating the steep terrain and ensuring the final result blended seamlessly with the natural surroundings.
Meticulous Restoration and Modern Expansion
In the heart of Hataitai stands a 1912 gem—a house we were entrusted to restore and expand, all while preserving its historical integrity. This project highlights our commitment to craftsmanship and showcases our ability to blend old-world charm with contemporary living. The result is a home that honors its past while embracing the conveniences of modern life, creating a harmonious fusion that stands as a testament to our team's expertise and dedication.

We've used Kiwibuilt on three occasions now, and each time we've been really happy with the outcome. We started with just needing a small amount of bulkhead work to complete our kitchen install, and even though this was a small engagement Corey and the team still gave the project the care and attention it needed to complete our project to the highest standard. A few years on we were looking to renovate our lounge and hallway, and again the Kiwibuilt team really delivered on our vision. And finally, we converted some bifold windows into lay flat bifold doors, which totally transformed our kitchen and outdoor area in terms of indoor/outdoor flow. All of these projects unearthed their own unique fishhooks and challenges, but in every case the Kiwibuilt team were able to quickly come up with practical and cost effective solutions to resolve these issues and keep the projects moving forward without delays. I highly recommend Kiwibuit for projects of any size, their team have always been great with clear communication and top quality work. Reply: Thank you for your fantastic review! We're delighted to hear we delivered quality work and solutions across all three projects. We appreciate your recommendation.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Kiwi built on our new deck around the swimming pool, and we couldn’t be happier with the result! From start to finish, his communication was outstanding—he kept us informed every step of the way, promptly answered all our questions, and made sure we understood the process. What truly stood out was his honesty and transparency. He set clear expectations from the beginning, providing a detailed timeline and cost breakdown, so there were no surprises along the way. His craftsmanship is top-notch, and the final product exceeded our expectations—it’s truly the most beautiful deck we could have imagined! If you're looking for a reliable, skilled, and honest builder, I highly recommend Kiwi built. We will absolutely be calling him for any future projects! Reply: Thank you! We're delighted we exceeded your expectations and appreciate your feedback on our honesty and craftsmanship.

Corey and the team KiwiBuilt did an excellent job on our renovations in 2020. We were remote at the time, so having a reliable, communicative and trusted team working with us was essential. Attention to detail and practical advice was great. So much so, we got them back in to do a variety of small jobs and a bathroom renovation a year later and couldn’t have been happier with the results. The team were respectful, tidy and flexible around our young family. Reply: Thank you, Tracey, for your wonderful feedback! We truly appreciate your kind words and trust in KiwiBuilt. It was our pleasure to work on your renovations, and we're thrilled to hear that you were satisfied with the results. Your acknowledgment of our team's reliability, attention to detail, and flexibility means a lot to us. We're always here to support your family's home improvement needs. Thanks again for choosing KiwiBuilt, and we look forward to any future projects with you! Best regards, Corey and the KiwiBuilt Team
