Your section is unique. Your home should be too.
Every section is different: its size, slope, aspect, access and council rules all shape what you can build and what it costs. We start on site with you, design a home that suits the land and how you live, then build it for a price that's agreed before we start.
Designed for your section
We plan around the sun, the views, the slope and the street, so the house works with the land rather than against it.
A fixed price, agreed upfront
Once the design and specifications are agreed, you get a fixed-price contract, so you know where you stand before the build begins.
One person to deal with
Clint or Eoin runs your job from first visit to handover, with regular updates and progress photos along the way.
Homes we've designed and built on our clients' sections

Real words from Waikato families
“We loved the fact that we only ever had to deal with one person (Clint). He helped keep us within our budget while also being flexible and accommodating with some of our requests.”
Te Whaanau Clarke-TakiariHarris Street, Huntly“We agreed to a price before the build began and they stuck to it, which gave us peace of mind and eliminated any stress about unexpected costs. The project stayed on track and even finished ahead of schedule.”
Kyle & ReaganLotus Place, Te Awamutu · October 2025“We are thrilled with our new home and amazed that all our ideas made the build so seamless and easy, and we cant thank you enough.”

How much does it cost to build on my own section?
It depends on the size of the home, the finishes you choose and the section itself. As a guide, most of the single-level homes we build on clients' own land fall around $500,000 to $600,000 including GST. We give you an estimate early and a fixed price before you commit.
What can affect the cost of building on my section?
Slope and retaining, ground conditions, driveway length, connecting power, water and wastewater, and any covenant or council requirements. We look at all of this at the site visit and point out anything that affects the price before you sign.
Do I have to choose from a set of plans?
No. We can design a home from scratch to suit your section, or start from one of our plans and change it to suit your land and the way you live.
Is the price fixed?
Yes. Once the design and specifications are agreed, you get a fixed-price contract, so you know the cost before the build begins.
Who will I deal with during the build?
Clint or Eoin, the directors of MH Builders. You deal with the same person from the first site visit through to handover.
I'm still buying my section. Can you help?
Yes. We're happy to look at a section before you buy it and talk through what you could build there and any likely site costs.
Is the home covered by a guarantee?
We're Registered Master Builders, so eligible new homes can be covered by the Master Build 10-Year Guarantee.†
