Building - Evolved

Specialists in building architectural, energy efficient homes with an innovative and progressive approach to working with you.

The People Behind Baumann Builders

Because we are a husband and wife team who live and work so closely together, your build is planned, discussed, and worked on from dawn till dusk. We are a unique multinational couple. Erika grew up in Switzerland and has lived in New Zealand for over 30 years. Phil is passionate about intelligent design and building systems. That means we both understand and appreciate the high standard of quality workmanship evident in Swiss-built houses, and the unique environmental build conditions here in New Zealand.

Our Passion For Innovative Building

Phil loves researching innovative products and designs.
This keeps us abreast of the latest cost-effective and energy-efficient products and building systems. These we can recommend to our clients and their architects. And because we are experienced in building with Structural Insulated Panels and specialise in energy-efficient builds, we select our team, suppliers and subcontractors carefully to ensure they hold the same values as us. This means we provide a superior build experience, taking the stress out of it for you.

Our Responsibility

Wherever possible we recycle and minimise building waste. We are conscious of looking after our environment so not only do you get an energy-efficient home for your future, by employing us you are caring for the environment in the building process itself.

For us, building code is a bare minimum standard. We believe in “best practice” principles and go well above and beyond building code. So, though we are careful to stay within your budget, our specialty remains energy saving, high-performance buildings for you.

Working With You

We keep you informed every step of the way. Building your own home is big, it’s personal, and it should be exciting! We are committed to understanding you, so we can build you a home that fits your lifestyle. We believe the building process is a team effort between you and us. With our commitment to communication and openness, we make working with us the best possible building experience you can have.

What’s In It For You?

Early engagement means we add value right at the start of the design process. We use our experience in construction and understanding of build costs so it’s important to have the architect – engineer – builder team established before going too far with the design process. That team effort includes you. We communicate clearly and work closely with you throughout the building project.
