Clear options. Local advice
Building a new home can feel like a big decision, especially when you’re weighing up options like House + Land or Design + Build.
My role is to help you understand what works best for your situation, your budget, and your goals, and to keep the process clear and straightforward from the start.
If you’re exploring a brand-new home in Waikato and want practical advice without the pressure, I’m here to help you make sense of the options and take the next step with confidence.
Click 'Learn more about me' to hear how I approach building homes that truly work for the way people live.
Choosing who you build with matters just as much as choosing the home itself.
I work with people at all stages: first home buyers, families, downsizers, and investors, helping them find the right path into a brand-new home.
If you’re weighing up House + Land or Design + Build, I'm here to help you work through it and land on the option that fits.

YOU'RE PATH TO A NEW HOME
House + Land
a simple way into a brand-new, low-maintenance home that combines a new home and section with one contract and clear pricing.
Custom Build
Design a home from the ground up with our team by your side. We’ll help you bring your ideas to life tailored to your lifestyle, section, and budget.
House Plans
a simple way into a brand-new, low-maintenance home that combines a new home and section with one contract and clear pricing.
Subdivide
Make the most of where you already live. Whether you’re looking to subdivide, build a new home, or add a secondary dwelling, we can help you explore the possibilities.
Custom homes, local know how
Work with our experienced Waikato team to Design + Build a home that’s made to suit you. You might start with one of our ready-to-build plans for inspiration, or shape something more custom, either way, we’ll guide you through each step: site visit, planning, quoting, construction, and settlement, so you always know what’s happening and what comes next.
With in-house design, construction management, and aftercare, the whole experience stays clear and well supported. To see how it works in real life, view our short process video which walks you through each stage.
DESIGN + BUILD | QUICK TIPS TO GET STARTED
1. No upfront cost
Chat with us about building with no upfront costs — you’ll get real advice, straight answers, and a team that knows how to make things happen (no pressure, no waffle). We can show you what a build could look like on your site, including a floor plan and budget estimate, before you spend a cent.
2. Customise your plan
Your floor plan is where the big picture comes together — how you move through your home, how it feels to live in, and how it works for your lifestyle. Start with one of our standard plans and customise it, or create something completely new to suit your land, lifestyle, and budget.
3. Make a wishlist early
This is where the fun starts. We sit down, swap ideas, and pull together your wishlist - "the must-haves", the "these would be nice to have", and the “never in a million years.” We’ll also review your site to ensure your plans align with your land and lifestyle from the outset.
Daniel
Highly recommend Classic Builders. Paul and his team are knowledgeable, have great attention to detail, clear communication skills and generally made the process easy and enjoyable. We have been living in our family home, which was built 7 years ago, and the quality is still great.
Sam
We just finished our new home on a 3500sqm section, Classic Builders ticked all the boxes. Were very helpful with the initial process, gave us great advice, was always on call to answer any questions and reassure us through the process.

Moved into our new "forever" home built by the team at Classic. Having never built before, they guided us through the process and answered all our questions (and changes) along the way. A huge thanks to Tal, Carey, and our project manager, James. To all the tradies that worked on our place...another huge thank you!! Couldn't recommend you enough!!
