Building A New Home Should Feel Exciting - Not Overwhelming
The Problem with most home building companies:
Endless Handovers Between Sales and Build Teams. You feel like you’re starting from scratch at every stage.
Hidden Franchise Fees Eating into Your Budget.
Money you could be putting into quality finishes.
Builders Who Don’t Listen.
Your vision gets lost in a cookie-cutter approach.
Stress, Delays, and Lack of Transparency.
Leaving you anxious instead of excited.
The Homes By Orange Solution:
One Point of Contact from First Meeting to Keys in Hand. No disconnect, no lost details.
No Franchise Fees- Every Dollar Goes into Your Home- Higher quality for the same budget.
A Small, Experienced Local Team. We know Nelson/Tasman and work with trusted local tradies.
Clear Timelines, Fixed-Price Contracts. Peace of mind from day one.
