Our Process
We guarantee clear communication at every step, ensuring you feel heard, involved, and confident that your vision is understood and brought to life exactly as you imagined.
A new build pathway that keeps you in control
Every successful new build starts with alignment - your brief, your budget and your programme
We begin with a free consultation to understand how you want to live, the must‑haves and the nice‑to‑haves. Early feasibility work clarifies site constraints, servicing, orientation and any consenting considerations. During concept development we translate your brief into practical plans and present a transparent cost model that breaks down structure, envelope, interior fit‑out and exterior works. Allowances are clear, and we flag decisions that most affect budget or lead times so you can prioritise with confidence.
With documentation prepared, we manage the consenting pathway and coordinate suppliers and trades. Construction follows a quality‑assured sequence with milestone checks at foundation, framing, envelope, linings and finishing. You will receive structured progress updates, including what is complete, what is next and what choices are due. At handover we supply manuals, warranties and care guidance, then remain available for aftercare support.
Halo has been developed to provide confidence and protection to homeowners.
Competitive premiums.
If something does go wrong after the completion of your build, then provided the terms and conditions are met your guarantee will cover it and Halo will step in to help you fix any agreed problems or pay you a cash settlement to enable you to do so.
It adds value to your property.
It’s fully transferable if you decide to sell.
It helps finance your build, as many banks prefer that a guarantee be present.

As members of the NZ Certified Builders Association, we offer the Halo 10-Year Residential Guarantee.
Tauranga and its coastal suburbs reward homes that are designed for the environment
We specify corrosion‑resistant fixings, robust flashing details and cladding systems that drain and dry correctly. Window and door hardware is chosen for coastal exposure, and we pay close attention to eaves, parapets and deck junctions where wind‑driven rain can challenge lesser details.
Inside, we focus on insulation, airtightness and balanced ventilation to reduce condensation, protect finishes and keep your home comfortable year‑round. Smart glazing choices manage summer heat gain while capturing winter sun, and shading solutions protect interiors from UV fade.
Design should serve the way you live, not the other way around.
Whether you are building a compact family home, an entertainer’s haven or a low‑maintenance lock‑and‑leave, we collaborate with your designer to align structure, layout and specification with your priorities.
We are candid about cost drivers - glazing ratios, structural steel, cladding choices and bespoke joinery - and we offer value‑engineering options that preserve the look and longevity you want while trimming spend where it makes sense. The goal is simple: no unwanted surprises, just informed decisions at the right time.
Predictability matters.
We sequence trades to maintain momentum and protect finished surfaces, and we keep sites tidy and safe. Weather risk and long‑lead items are planned early, and we engage trusted local suppliers to keep deliveries on schedule. If a change is requested, you receive a clear variation with scope, cost and time implications before anything proceeds. It is your home and your budget - our job is to safeguard both.
A new build is the perfect time to invest in performance. We recommend ventilation solutions that exchange stale air for fresh while managing humidity, insulation strategies that minimise thermal bridges, and appliance selections that balance efficiency with reliability. These choices make your home quieter, cleaner and less costly to run. They also protect the building envelope over the long term.
Consenting with local know‑how
Most new builds require building consent and a series of council inspections.
We prepare complete documentation with your designer so the review focuses on robust details rather than last‑minute clarifications. For homeowner guidance on local processes, Tauranga City Council’s building and consents information is a helpful reference. We handle the paperwork, book inspections and keep you informed at each milestone.
While our core focus is new builds in Tauranga, we regularly deliver homes in Mount Maunganui, Papamoa, Pyes Pa, Bethlehem, Welcome Bay, Otumoetai, Matua, Omanu, Te Puke, Omokoroa and the wider Bay of Plenty. Mention your preferred suburb in your enquiry and we will confirm recent local projects and access considerations.
New Build Frequently Asked Questions
