About

Rivergrove is not just another home builder, we "Build Different". 

As specialists in bespoke construction, we believe quality is far more important than quantity.

"Build Different" not only means that we only build one-off homes, and not cookie cutters, but it also means that our process is different. We treat our clients homes as if they were our own, which not only allows us to engage with our clients better but it makes every aspect of the project that much more rewarding for us and our clients.

Being a future-thinking and innovative building company we continue to pursue and adapt better building practices into our business, including using more sustainable and eco-efficient building materials and utilising modern software and systems.

 

It's all about collaboration..

By partnering with renowned local architects we will ensure that your new home will stand out from the rest. When bespoke design meets top quality construction you get a collaboration of professionals which deliver a product that exceeds client expectations. #builddifferent

Mark, Jade and their team at Waikato homes have been amazing to deal with! So professional in their approach, they listened to what we wanted and made recommendations on the best approach. Down to earth and really easy to deal with. They made everything easy to understand and took us through the whole process so we knew what was going on.

I would highly recommend Waikato Homes to anyone wanting to build a home that they love!!!

Thanks so much Mark & Jade.

Awesome family based business who specialises in unique builds. Mark and Jade are really friendly and you can tell they are passionate about what they do. Can't wait to start our new home build with them which won't be a boring spec home!

We were very impressed by the work undertaken by Mark and his team on our house renovations. Mark's communication was brilliant and he is a very professional and approachable guy. Mark made suggestions on improving aspects of the build and we found him to be a very practical builder.

Brad & Kim

We loved working with Waikato homes! They made the whole design and build experience very easy, which was great as it was our first time building. They understood what we wanted and were able to carry that through to the final product. They were very professional and communicated well the whole way. We ended up with a result that exceeded our expectations. The finished house is amazing and up to a very high standard. We now have a beautiful family home that we are proud of!

Hi Team,

Charles and I arrived home yesterday to find the barn doors installed and looking great.  We were then blown away to discover a maintenance manual as well as Christmas greetings and gifts.  All of it signalled the completion of the build and we both want to say how absolutely fantastic our home is.  It has met and exceeded our expectations and the relationship built with you made the inevitable struggles at times completely manageable.  We knew we could trust you and you never let us down.   We highly commend your work and the way you do business.

Karen & Charles


Dear Mark, Jade and team.

Its been a pleasure working with you from start to finish in building our lovely home in Waihi Beach

We began our building process by trying to find a builder we could trust. After thoroughly researching and talking to several building companies who all provided different levels of confidence, we decided to go with Mark and his team because our gut feeling was they would provide a personal and professional service.

All the way through the process we found communication fantastic and there was never anything that was too hard or difficult when we wanted a modification or dealing with any of the usual quirks of building on a difficult site.

It was particularly helpful we were provided with regular emails, photos and videos of their progress when we could not visit the site to check the progress. This was really helpful in maintaining our confidence.

Further to this the workmanship and level of quality in completing the job was above and beyond our expectations. We’ve had several locals, friends and family comment on how well the house and design was finished. 

We would not hesitate in recommending Mark and his team for anyone considering building their dream home as our experience overall was great.
