Early involvement saves time, money, and stress
At Podium Builders, we believe that every successful new built home project starts with a conversation—before any plans are drawn up. By getting us involved right from the beginning, you benefit from our expertise in both design and construction. We’ll sit down with you to understand your needs, lifestyle, and budget before you spend money on detailed architectural drawings. This early consult ensures your dreams align with what’s practical and affordable, saving you from unnecessary redesigns or costly surprises down the track.
Our team, led by Vine Collett—a Certified & Licensed Building Practitioner—works directly with you to clarify your goals and priorities. We help you make informed decisions about layout, materials, and energy efficiency from day one. By involving us early, you avoid the common pitfall of having to compromise your vision due to unforeseen costs or technical constraints. With Podium Builders, you get a smooth, transparent process that keeps your project on track.
Custom built homes tailored to your exact needs
Choosing a custom built home with Podium Builders means you’re in control at every stage. You’re not limited by an existing structure or someone else’s idea of the perfect house. Instead, you choose the layout, features, materials, and finishes that suit your family and lifestyle—right down to the tapware, tiles, and lighting.
Here’s what customisation with us looks like:
- Select open-plan living or defined spaces
- Design seamless indoor/outdoor flow for entertaining
- Pick energy-efficient glazing, insulation, and eco-materials
- Add smart lighting, heating, and automation
- Future-proof with wiring for solar, fibre, and EV charging
Energy efficiency and healthy living from the ground up
A new built home by Podium Builders isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about creating a comfortable, healthy, and efficient living environment. We specialise in integrating high-performance features like SIP panels, airtight construction, and mechanical ventilation systems. These elements work together to keep your home warm, dry, and mould-free, while slashing your energy bills.
You can expect:
- Passive House or high-performance standards for low running costs
- Non-toxic materials and moisture control for healthier air quality
- Solar-ready systems and future-proofed infrastructure
This focus on energy efficiency not only benefits your wallet but also supports a more sustainable lifestyle. Smart building methods mean your home is ready for the future, with reduced environmental impact.
Low maintenance, peace of mind, and lasting value
A new build home from Podium Builders means everything is brand-new and built to current codes—or better. That translates into minimal repairs, fewer maintenance headaches, and the reassurance that comes from knowing your investment is protected by warranties. There are no hidden surprises like rot, outdated wiring, or poor insulation often found in older properties.
Key benefits include:
- Modern plumbing, electrical, and ventilation systems
- Durable, low-maintenance exteriors and eco-friendly materials
- Higher resale value due to modern design and compliance with future standards
With us, you’re not just building for today—you’re investing in a home that will serve you well for years to come.

Clear communication and professional project management
One of the most common frustrations in building is poor communication. At Podium Builders, we pride ourselves on being approachable, responsive, and transparent throughout your project. Vine Collett leads every build as your dedicated project manager, ensuring you always know what’s happening and why.
Yes. Podium Builders has experience working with complex sites, including sloped and irregular sections. We’ll assess your site early in the process and collaborate with engineers and architects to ensure your new home is both practical and beautifully integrated into the land.
Absolutely. We can guide you through the consent process and work closely with your architect and consultants to make sure all requirements are met. Our experience in the Greater Wellington region helps ensure smoother approval and fewer delays.
Every project is different, but most new build homes take between 6–12 months depending on the complexity, size, and site conditions. We provide a clear timeline at the beginning of your project and keep you updated throughout.
While renovation can seem cheaper upfront, it often uncovers hidden issues like outdated wiring, poor insulation, or moisture damage. A new build offers better long-term value through modern materials, improved energy performance, and lower maintenance costs.
Podium Builders offers fully tailored new build home solutions designed for your lifestyle, site, and budget, with clear communication and quality at every step. Whether you're planning a complete custom home or thinking ahead to future additions like deck repairs or home renovations, we’re here to create spaces that grow with you.
