As we hit Week 3 last week of our 24 week build schedule, Kiarn and Flynn’s build is off to a great start. While the boys celebrate the ground breaking on their new home in Papamoa, our team have been busy excavating the site, surveying to set the site levels, boxing in to prep for the drainage, plus for the Rib Raft Floor and foundations to go down.
This week (Week 4), the concrete has been poured and this is what we call ‘out of the ground’. From here the frames will start to go up.
At this stage of the build, a new homeowner can start to see the footprint of their home and how it sits on the site. An interesting thing to remember is that at different times throughout the build the home will look small and then big and then small again, but once complete, this will be a spacious 180m2 home.

When you are 21, deciding whether to buy a home or spend your money on travel is a big decision. There are a lot of pros and cons for each decision.
For our new homeowners Kiarn and Flynn, they saw it as an opportunity to invest in their future through a co-ownership mortgage arrangement. Having grown up together, these two best friends are building their first home together and it is all designed around meeting their needs.
The home is based off our Motiti plan, but has two primary suites, each with an ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, so there is no argument about who gets the biggest room. Downstairs the focus is on entertaining, while the extra bedrooms on this level give them the option to have flatmates or friends to stay.
Over the coming months, we are going to follow Kiarn and Flynn’s journey as build their home for handover on the 30th October this year (2025).
Congratulation guys, we are excited to be on this journey with you.
