About

Since Vista Homes founding in 2012, we’ve been dedicated to design-led construction. Design is at the core of everything we do—driven by exploration and challenge, and brought to life through the tactile reality of building.

By prioritizing durability, honesty, and thoughtful material choices, we guide the vision, push boundaries, and manage every aspect of your project, from the initial site visit to the final delivery.

OUR TEAMOUR PRINCIPLES

Our Principles

Building Auckland with Clarity, Simplicity, and Honesty

We understand that the building and renovation process can feel overwhelming, often clouded by uncertainty. We approach each project with honesty regarding project scope, investment, and timeline to set our clients and team up for success.

Building Without the Stress

At Vista Homes, we’re committed to reducing stress at every stage of your project. We achieve this by maintaining a clean, organized site and providing regular updates so you’re always informed.

Setting Expectations for Success

While we hope you choose us for your next project, we invite you to use our Due Diligence Checklist  to align expectations with your builder from day one—even if you go with another company. A successful building relationship depends on clear, aligned expectations, and we’re here to help you start on the right foot.

Our Commitment

Proud Members of the Building Community

As a Licensed Building Practitioner (LBP), Vista Homes is also an active member of the Certified Builders Association (CBNZ). Unlike some other associations, CBNZ requires all members to be trade qualified, ensuring a high standard of craftsmanship.

We take pride in giving back to the industry by incorporating apprentices into our team and participating in high school gateway programs, fostering the next generation of builders.

Your Peace of Mind Guaranteed

In the unlikely event that issues arise during your building project, rest assured you won’t be left out of pocket. Plus, should you sell your property within ten years, the guarantee automatically transfers to the new owner.

As a member of Certified Builders, we proudly offer the comprehensive Halo 10-year residential building guarantee. This includes a 12-month fault warranty for any issues that may arise after project completion, excluding wear and tear, ensuring we remain dedicated to your satisfaction long after the build is done.
