Pyes Pa sits on the elevated western side of Tauranga, and building here is different to building at the coast. Sections are often larger, many slope, and the outlook is usually the reason people chose them. We build new homes, renovations and extensions in Pyes Pa, and the work starts with reading the land.
A slope changes everything: how the house sits, how it's accessed, what has to be retained and how foundations are designed. Done well, it gives you a home that makes the most of the view, with floor levels that step with the land. Done poorly, it's a retaining and drainage bill nobody budgeted for. We look at those costs early so they're in the proposal, not a surprise on site.
Exposed, elevated sites can take more wind and rain than a sheltered section. Flashings, cladding junctions and roof details have to be right, and they're the details we don't skip.
Larger sections tend to come with a bigger brief — indoor-outdoor living, covered decks, space for work or guests. We work through how you'll actually use the land before anything is drawn. Some sections also raise stormwater or wastewater questions, which we work through during design. See our new builds and extensions pages for how that looks in practice.
We're NZCB certified and Licensed Building Practitioners, and every new build carries the HALO 10-Year Guarantee. You deal with us directly, pricing is fixed and itemised before we start, and if something needs sorting after handover, we own it.
We also build across Tauranga, Papamoa, Mount Maunganui and Bethlehem, and our design and build approach is the same wherever the site is.
We have used Andy and the team Insite Builders for all of our building projects over the past 20+ years, on both our family home and our rental property. There is simply no one else we would trust. Andy's workmanship, professionalism, and attention to detail are second to none, and he acts as project manager himself, coordinating all the trades and saving us the time, cost, and stress of engaging someone separately. After more than two decades, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend Andy to anyone looking for a builder they can completely trust.
