The Genius Process

A seamless experience

We build our homes off-site, in a custom built, state-of-the-art facility, following which we transport it to your site on a truck. We'll project manage the entire build and keep you updated at every step. Learn more about our process below.

One

Initial consultations

Our experienced staff will explain our building methods and show you through our production line. This is our chance to discuss your site requirements and design preferences, including any house plans you like.

Two

Proposal and design sign-off

The next step is to do a preliminary proposal based on your design preferences. We go over every detail with you to make sure that your new home is exactly how you want it and produce CAD renderings to help you visualise it.

Three

Colour selection and council consents

We will show you samples for all the fittings and finishes. When you are happy with your selection, our team will prepare the contract for you to sign.

When the proposal is confirmed and the contract signed, we will submit the paperwork to your relevant council. Since our homes are prefabricated, the building consent process is easier than most projects.

Four

Construction and inspection

At our facilities, your new home will be added to our production line. Our homes are built with a strong engineered sub-floor and high-quality timber frames. Both exceed the New Zealand building code requirements and easily withstand the delivery process.

Your home will be inspected regularly and we will send you regular photos and progress reports to keep you in the loop.

Five

Interior and inspection

When the framing is complete, our team begins the interior fit-out. The walls are lined and painted, the kitchen and bathroom installed, and all the fixtures fitted.

We also complete the plumbing and electrical so they are ready to be connected to site services after delivery. All aspects of the home are thoroughly inspected before delivery.

Six

Site works and delivery

Once the prefab has been transported to its final location, we aim to complete site works within 20 working days.

This stage typically includes connecting the house to site services, adding decks, baseboards, carports, or other extras, and completing final inspections.

When you have inspected the finished house with your Site Manager, we will hand over the keys.

Seven

Follow up

When the project is complete, our team is still available to answer any questions or concerns you may have. When you've had a chance to settle in, we will follow up to catch up on your progress.
