We are building a more conscious industry.

At Higgs Building Co. we’re conscious of our impact on future generations. In fact, we’re revolutionising the building industry because of it.

Time living overseas taught Higgs founder, Shaun, two things that would change his approach to building forever. The first, that New Zealand homes aren’t as energy-efficient as they should be. And the second, how important it is to keep our homeland healthy for future generations. His solution? Starting Higgs Building Co.

As a family-run business, we want to do better by our children. Our clients and our future generations deserve homes that are dry and healthy, without a big environmental footprint. They deserve a building industry that makes conscious choices; choices that are as beautifully crafted as they are environmentally considered.

With each home we build, we’re helping to make this the new standard for building in New Zealand.

We’re helping to make a future that is Beautifully Crafted. Consciously Built.

Our why. We believe our clients and our earth deserve better. That’s why we’re here, to challenge the way things have always been done, and to create a better future for Kiwi families and the environment.

Our vision is for every Kiwi to live in an energy-efficient, high-performing home, it’s better for our people and better for our environment.

Our difference, Meticulous care for our clients, workmanship and environment.

Conscious and eco-friendly. A new build is a chance to invest in your future. By consciously choosing to build a high-performance home, you get a house that is warmer, drier, more energy-efficient and keeps your family healthy and happy for the long-term.

Exceptional workmanship. Our builders have been selected for their high attention to detail and passion for doing great work, every time. We’re constantly up-skilling to keep it that way. We are proud to have a team that share a passion for high-end builds and great attitudes. Every one of our crew is eager to help make a difference for our clients and our planet. They’re the reason we are so good at what we do, and why we hand-picked them to be part of Higgs. Whenever we use sub-contractors, we only choose those who we can trust to do the best job for your project.

Locally owned and operated. When you build with Higgs you get to meet the real people working on your projects, and have the peace of mind that the owner, Shaun, is involved as much as the rest of the team.

Transparent communication. Our clients are the heart of our projects. That’s why we are always transparent and communicate every step of the way. We embrace your ideas and questions and keep everyone on the same page with our building schedule software.

You are the most important part of any build.

Every homeowner deserves a builder that cares. We want to give you peace of mind that your build will be looked after, from start to finish and beyond. For us, this means considering our impact on your family and the environment, how you use your space, meticulous attention to detail and industry warranties.

By building a home with Formance SIPs, we will build a better future for you and your family.

A new build is a chance to invest in your future. By building high-performance homes, we create a house that is highly energy-efficient, well constructed and benefits your family for the long-term.

We listen to your ideas and needs. We understand every family lives differently, and therefore uses their space differently. That’s why we ask questions and listen to your hopes, goals, challenges and concerns. It’s only by getting to know you that we can make sure every detail in your home is just right.

We guarantee a beautiful home built with great workmanship. As a team we take pride in our workmanship, paying meticulous attention to every detail.
