New Home
Builder &
Tiny Homes

New builds and tiny homes — from foundation to fit-out. We own our scaffolding, do foundation work in-house, manage all sub-contractors and handle every council document on your behalf. Licensed Building Practitioner. POA.

Licensed Building Practitioner

All new build work carried out by a Licensed Building Practitioner — compliant with NZ Building Code from day one.

We Own Our Scaffolding

No scaffolding hire costs passed on to you — we own our own scaffolding, saving you money on every build.

Full Council Management

We apply for all building consents and council documents on your behalf — you don't have to deal with the paperwork.

Kāpiti Coast First

Based in Raumati Beach — the Kāpiti Coast is our home turf. We also build across Wellington and the wider region.

What We Build

New Builds & Tiny Homes — Full Scope

Keen Builders delivers complete new home builds from the ground up — managing every stage of the process in-house or through our trusted sub-contractor network. We build new homes and self-contained tiny homes across the Kāpiti Coast and Wellington.

New Home Builds

Full new home construction from foundation to fit-out. We manage the complete build — site works, foundation, framing, cladding, roofing, linings, kitchen, bathrooms and finishing.

Tiny Homes & Minor Dwellings

Self-contained tiny homes, granny flats and minor dwellings built to the same standard as a full new home. See our Raumati AirBnb case study — foundation to fit-out in 14 weeks.

In-House Foundation Work

We carry out all foundation work in-house — rib raft slabs, concrete pads and pile foundations. No subcontracting on the most critical part of your build.

We Own Our Scaffolding

Most builders hire scaffolding and pass the cost on to you. We own ours outright — meaning no hire fees, no delays waiting for scaffolding to be delivered and no extra cost on your build.

Full Sub-Contractor Network

We have a complete network of trusted sub-contractors — electrical, plumbing, roofing, tiling and more. Keen Builders manages and coordinates every trade so you deal with one point of contact throughout.

Council Consents & Documentation

Building consent, resource consent, code compliance certificates — we apply for everything on your behalf. You don't need to deal with the council; we handle all documentation from start to finish.

Why Choose Keen Builders

One Builder.
Full Scope.
No Surprises.

Building a new home in NZ involves a lot of moving parts — and most of the stress comes from coordinating multiple contractors, chasing council paperwork and not knowing who's responsible for what.

Keen Builders eliminates that by managing the complete scope of your build — from the first site visit through to handing you the keys. We own our scaffolding, do our foundations in-house and coordinate every sub-contractor ourselves.

You get one point of contact, one fixed price and one builder who's accountable for the whole job.

We visit your site, discuss your plans and give you an honest assessment of what's involved — access, ground conditions, council requirements and realistic timeframes. No obligation.

02

Design & Consents

We work with your designer or architect to finalise the plans, then apply for all building consents and council documentation on your behalf. You don't have to deal with the council — we handle it all.

03

Site Preparation & Foundation

Site clearance, earthworks and foundation — all carried out in-house by Keen Builders. Rib raft slabs, concrete pads and pile foundations. The most critical stage of any build, done right.

04

Framing, Roofing & Cladding

Timber framing built on-site, roofing and exterior cladding — all coordinated and managed by Keen Builders. Our scaffolding goes up immediately, keeping the build on schedule without hire delays.

05

Sub-Contractors & Services

Electrical, plumbing, insulation, linings and tiling — all coordinated through our trusted sub-contractor network. Keen Builders manages every trade so there's one point of contact throughout.

06
