About Home Construction

Our story begins in Ōtautahi Christchurch, 2011. In the aftermath of the earthquakes, Home Construction was formed to repair and rebuild homes for thousands of displaced residents. It quickly became clear to us that housing insecurity went beyond natural disasters and our local communities. Across the motu, systemic issues were impacting New Zealanders’ access to affordable, quality housing.

Over the past 15+ years, we’ve partnered with developers, architects, and organisations who share our commitment to quality, collaboration, and care. We deliver end-to-end, tailoring every project to achieve the best outcomes on time, on budget, and to a high standard.

We’re committed to kaitiakitanga and recognise we are stewarding the future of generations to come. That means taking responsibility, within our industry and our communities, for shifting culture and practices to the highest possible standard, so that New Zealand’s homes benefit our customers, our communities, and our planet.

Home Foundation is a charitable trust with a mission to ensure every person in Aotearoa New Zealand has access to a secure, affordable, and healthy place to call home. It works to create lasting change through research, insight, and advocacy.

The Foundation was established using reinvested profits from the success of our construction work. What began with building homes has grown into a broader mission: transforming the housing system through thought leadership, innovation, and tangible impact.

Today, Home Foundation is the legal owner and kaitiaki of a growing network of housing organisations known as Home Foundation Group. Collectively, the Group has experience across the full development life cycle, including investment, housing development, property management, and construction. Each organisation can work independently or draw on the Group’s shared expertise when needed.

Together, we’re working towards a just housing system for Aotearoa New Zealand, where quality homes enable flourishing communities.

The Group includes:

We partner with developers, architects and organisations who match our heart and passion for people-centred construction that’s better for our communities and our planet. Home Construction is committed to kaitiakitanga, and we recognise our responsibility to shift culture and practices to the highest possible levels, for the good of today and future generations.

Our trusted build partners, long-standing industry relationships, commitment to openness and transparency, and desire for continual improvement enable us to drive growth, innovation and excellence in construction.

Our partners include: Sentinel Homes, Kāinga Ora, Blueprint Consulting Engineers, Foley Architects, Contexts Architects, Hierarchy Group, Hall Surveying, Mainland Surveying, MATES in Construction, PlaceMakers, and Carters.
