About

Welcome Home

The Little Pig Building Co has been building environmentally friendly homes and business premises since 1992. We have a wealth of experience and expertise to help you make your dream home a reality.

We take pride in exceeding customer expectations and working closely with our clients to ensure we understand exactly what they want.

My family and I live in an environmentally friendly home and want to help others experience the long-term benefits of living and working in an environmentally sound, natural, well insulated building – whether that be built of straw, timber or brick.

Testimonials

So here we are having sold in the North Island and ready to build a house on a block of land we had bought deep in the Marlborough Sounds.

“Can you build us a straw bale scorpion?” Nick Marer must have thought he’d got a prize lot here, but it never showed. A link with an architect and out came plans for our straw bale house with Nick’s Little Pig Building Company the contractor.

Open plan linking to a large covered outdoor living area, a curved roof with dormer windows catching a hold of the morning sun and depositing it at our feet on the south and sunless side of the house – just one obvious feature of this house of straw.

Why Straw Bale? We’d seen one in the North Island and been instantly sold on the concept. There are many shades of warmth and the temperature one is to be expected. But the aesthetic warmth created by the not straight walls shouts the WOW factor.

Why Little Pig Building Company? Straight from the first meeting we came away saying “well we’ve found our builder”. Scorpions aside, Nick’s friendly yet business like attitude gave us the confidence that this guy knows his stuff, has a great pride in his workmanship and will deliver the goods. At no stage either before, during or after construction have we had reason to change this opinion.

As for the house? Well, three years down the track never a day goes by without feeling, this is the best house we have every lived in. The warmth in the winter is matched by the cool in the summer, the insulation is just so perfect. The only complaint is that we should have lived in one years ago.

Helen and Pat Williams

Although we didn’t build a straw bale house we still wanted our house to be energy efficient. Nick was a great source of ideas for how we could achieve this. We have now experienced our first winter in our new house and have been delighted by how thermally efficient it is. We love our new home and can only say that we enjoyed the process of building with the Little Pig Building Company from start to finish.

Laurie and Jennifer

At every stage in the building process, Nick was always available when we wanted to talk through plans and progress. He organised all the sub contractors and listened when we had queries or concerns, remaining personable and approachable throughout.

Above all, the build remained within budget, which was a significant factor for us.

Beverly Sellers

The standard of workmanship was impeccable and the tradesmen were always friendly and trustworthy. They were also quick to make good the inevitable minor repairs which needed to be done after the job was complete.

I have no hesitation in recommending the company to any future clients.
