Generation Homes was established in 1997 by David Mansel and Graham Hockly and was founded on the belief that building doesn’t need to be a stressful, time-consuming and cost spiraling exercise. With extensive experience in residential building, Generation has established a reputation for reliability, quality and
exceptional customer service.
Generation’s focus centres around providing certainty in the uncertain world of building a new home, through the combined elements of quality, teamwork, sustainability, efficiency and commitment.
At Generation Homes it is our vision to grow communities, build relationships and deliver dreams to our customers. We want you to be able to carry on with your lives while your home is being built, and the Generation experience ensures this. As a credible builder with a proven track record for delivery, quality and customer satisfaction, Generation provides:
- A guaranteed move-in day so you can book your move-in advance
- Once your contract is signed, you won’t pay a cent more
- Your detailed building programme keeps you informed every step of the way
Over the last twelve years, Generation Homes has grown from a two-man band building 30 houses per year to a diversified company with joint ventures building houses all around the North Island
Generation’s two founding Directors Graham Hockly and David Mansel are extremely proud of where the business is at today. David Mansel, says "What makes me most proud of what we do is that around a quarter of all our Generation customers have built with us before - they've enjoyed the experience and have come back for more.
Building industry research shows that around ninety percent of people who build their own home wouldn't do it again - it's too stressful, there are too many hidden costs, too many quality issues, and too many hold-ups. So we thought we could take away these frustrations and risks, to provide customers with an enjoyable building experience. We focus on listening to you, taking away your frustrations, and going that much further for you than what our competitors would". “We have focussed on providing every customer with certainty in the uncertain world of building a new home. And we have only been able to achieve this with the combination of quality, sustainability, efficiency, commitment, and fantastic teamwork.” David says.
Graham believes that people are Generation’s best asset and he values the win/win partnerships that have been formed.“Those first ten years have been a blast. We’ve built over a 1350 homes and have been involved with so many great people along the way. I guess the exciting question is: where will we be in ten years’ time?” Graham says.
