We’re a proud Kiwi company that was established more than 20 years ago. We built our foundation on trust and results. Founders David Mansel and Graham Hockly, who both started in the building trade in Tauranga, now lead one of the country’s leading residential construction companies, builidng in key regions throughout NZ. Both David and Graham remain strong in the belief that building doesn’t need to be a stressful, time-consuming and cost-spiralling exercise. Their aim has always been to provide certainty in the uncertain world of building. That has meant creating and implementing simple, streamlined processes and refining them over the years. With eight regions throughout New Zealand, our point of difference is delivering fixed price homes with a guaranteed move-in date. People who build with Generation Homes enjoy the security of a fixed-price contract – including any and all fees needed to get the build underway, and every cost thereafter – right down to the number on the letterbox. There are no hidden costs. With extensive experience in residential building and development, Generation Homes has established a reputation for reliability, quality and exceptional customer service. Over 4,500 homes have been built by Generation Homes across New Zealand. Building a community for every generation is at the heart of our business.
In 1997 Tauranga electrician Graham Hockly, and builder-business partner David Mansel formed Generation Homes. Their partnership was forged on trust, an ethic of hard work, quality workmanship, integrity and providing value for money. Those ethics are still as strong within the company as they were in 1997, and are the bedrock to our success.
Those staunch values have earned us a reputation as a company to be trusted. Upholding that reputation is something every member of our team takes very seriously.
Today Generation Homes has grown to become one of New Zealand’s top 10 residential construction companies by volume.
We believe building doesn’t need to be a stressful, time-consuming exercise where costs keep mounting. We have created and implemented simple, streamlined processes.
We pay strict attention to quality control and negating price variations. We know our people – customers, joint venture partners, employees, suppliers and contractors – are our greatest asset.
We focus on listening, removing potential frustrations and exceeding expectations.
Every one of our customers enjoys the security of a fixed-price contract and can watch their new home being delivered according to an individually tailored building schedule.
There's also the opportunity to add their personal touch and get design advice from our experts - be it a vibrant kitchen splashback or designer wallpaper in the bedrooms.
After more than 20 years of continual refinement we believe Generation Homes still leads the competition in efficiency, quality and speed to market.
