The Build Journey
The Hive Homes Build Journey is designed to make your home-building experience easy and enjoyable, from start to finish. We begin by understanding your vision, needs, and budget, working closely with you to craft a custom design at no extra charge that’s tailored to your lifestyle and site.
We prioritize transparency with fixed-price contracts and thorough due diligence, ensuring your investment is protected and free from surprises. Throughout construction, you’ll have real-time access to updates and schedules, allowing you to see every step of your home taking shape.
Upon completion, we conduct a final quality check and walk-through, handing over your new home with confidence and care. Our aftercare support ensures that even after you move in, Hive Homes is there to make your home everything you dreamed.
Grants and Financial help
New Zealand offers several grants and programs to help first-time homebuyers build their homes.
The KiwiSaver First Home Grant provides up to $10,000 per person for new builds, increasing with the length of KiwiSaver contributions. Additionally, the KiwiSaver First-Home Withdrawal allows eligible members to use most of their KiwiSaver savings for home-related expenses, leaving a minimum $1,000 in their account.
For those needing extra support, the First Home Partner program by Kāinga Ora offers shared ownership, where Kāinga Ora co-invests, allowing buyers to increase their ownership share over time.
These options provide valuable financial assistance to help New Zealanders achieve home ownership.
At Hive Homes, our build process is designed to make your journey to a new home smooth, transparent, and stress-free. From custom design and fixed-price contracts to real-time updates and quality assurance, we’re with you every step of the way, ensuring your vision becomes a reality with ease and confidence.
