Our choice of Coromandel Homes Ltd was the best decision we could have made. From the initial interviews and contract acceptance to the design phase, communication, build, and follow-up, every step was handled to a very high standard. We brought our own conceptual plan, and Justin and Ray’s expertise helped identify potential challenges on our steep site, offering cost-saving solutions. The communication with every team member, including external contractors, was professional and a pleasure. The Project Manager was proactive in managing supply delays, ensuring materials were available on time. The build was completed on schedule, within budget, and to an exceptional standard. We are extremely proud of what Coromandel Homes has created for us. Thank you.

Justin and Ray transformed our initial concept into a remarkable solution perfectly tailored to our holiday home and lifestyle aspirations. What started as a modest two-bedroom idea blossomed into a spacious three-bedroom haven, with a generous butler's pantry, an extended garage, and thoughtful design elements like a striking timber screen and custom-built fireplace. Every detail, from the over height sloped ceiling to the feature lighting, was carefully considered, creating an ambiance that truly reflects our style. We are rapt with our dream holiday home, and all thanks to the expertise and craftsmanship of Justin and his team, who exceeded our expectations.

We couldn't believe how closely the first design matched what we thought was a very vague brief—Justin is clearly well versed in asking the right questions to understand how we saw ourselves using the house, what style appealed to us, and was able to translate it into a design that we not only loved, but that also took into account our budget. Justin was very patient with all of our questions, and we appreciated his balanced responses that helped us make decisions considering both cost and design/look & feel. We were able to make tweaks as the design started to come to life, such as adding skylights above the kitchen, which we’re really pleased with. The overall experience was genuinely exciting rather than stressful, and we are beyond stoked and completely in love with our new home.

Having the team build my family home was a fantastic opportunity to step back and view the process through our clients’ eyes. The experience was incredibly insightful and further strengthened the deep trust I have in our wider team to consistently deliver a top-quality product.

“We couldn’t be happier with our new home from Coromandel Homes! From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. The team was professional, attentive, and genuinely cared about bringing our vision to life. The quality of craftsmanship is outstanding, and every detail was thoughtfully considered. Not only did they stay on schedule, but they also communicated with us every step of the way, which made the entire process stress-free.”

”When considering the process of our new build we thought it would be a challenge to find someone who completely understood our architectural and planning complexities.

On the contrary, the team from Coro Architecture did a fantastic job, producing excellent drawings with complex details that were very easy to understand.

Obtaining the building consent was fast and efficient allowing construction to start earlier than expected.

We had been coming to Whangamatā for years with our two tiny baches, but time and a flood made them no longer viable. We set out to design a future home that would accommodate our growing family while retaining the bach feel, with some quirky ideas we wanted to include. After meeting with Justin and hearing a recommendation from our neighbour, we knew Coromandel Homes was the right choice. Justin spent many hours refining our plans before the build, ensuring a seamless process. The same level of service and attention to detail was evident from all the trades involved, each showing passion and dedication. Justin and his team went above and beyond to make the project enjoyable, and we would highly recommend them to others, happy to be contacted by potential clients.

Sam and I reached out to several building companies for our first home, but most showed little interest and weren't willing to put in the effort. When we contacted Justin, he immediately set up a meeting and, despite our tight budget, was eager to help make our dream home a reality. We slightly extended our budget, and in return, we got a dream home we didn’t think was possible for a first build. The final cost was exactly what was quoted—no hidden fees! The whole team at Coromandel Homes was enthusiastic, communicative, and truly excited about our project. Whenever we faced a challenge, Justin and the team always had backup plans. The process was stress-free and far exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Coromandel Homes, and if we ever build again, they will be our first call.

Other reviews

  • From our first site visit with Justin, we knew we had chosen the right team for our building journey. Meetings with Justin, Ray, and Hayley were productive, and their ability to listen, understand our brief, and bring extensive construction knowledge to the design phase put us at ease. At no point did we feel stressed or disconnected from the build. We absolutely love our home—it excels in elegance, comfort, and style. We would not hesitate to build with Justin and his team again; in fact, we’ve already built twice with them!

  • Building a new home is a big decision, but after seeing a house built by Coromandel Homes, we knew we had found the right team. Justin and Ray provided great consultation, overcoming the challenges of our site with an initial concept we were thrilled with. Their design and construction knowledge was invaluable, and their guidance through design tweaks, product selections, and price considerations highlighted their experience. The consent documents went through council smoothly, and construction was flawless, even during the tough COVID period. Communication throughout was impeccable, and at the end, we were handed the keys to a quality home that Coromandel Homes should be proud of.

  • We contacted Justin of Coromandel Homes in 2021 to add a second storey to our home, which they had designed and built for us in 2015. Both Justin and Ray listened carefully to our needs and were able to design and construct a second storey that met our requirements and budget. We highly recommend Justin and his team to anyone considering a design and build project—they are competent, reliable, and a pleasure to work with.

  • Our experience Coromandel Homes was great. Justin and the team were incredibly efficient and had great solutions for a couple of design elements we wanted to change. Highly recommended

  • I took an option on a section there, and Justin was happy to come and survey, returning a second time when Council regulations changed. The Engineering Team went to great lengths to source a foundation slab that would stand the test of time. The meeting with Ray, Justin, and myself was priceless—me with my ideas and them sharing their great knowledge. Our brief was to manage and make the most of natural elements like sun, shade, shelter, and drainage, while designing a batch with practical bedrooms and living spaces. 10/10. The team explained every plan and item along the way, and I always felt comfortable.
