BEGIN YOUR BUILD JOURNEY

At Madison Park Homes, building your dream home is a seamless journey shaped by experience, collaboration, and craftsmanship. Our Build Process Series walks you through every stage of construction — from foundations to finishing — giving you a clear view of what to expect along the way.

Selecting the best section for your home.
One of our experienced Design and Building Consultants can help you to choose the right section for your dream home. They will visit the proposed building site to discuss your ideas, requirements, and budgets. Choosing the right section to build on is critical if the end result is to fulfil the needs of your family and your budget. Choosing the wrong section can lead to disappointment with the finished home and can add significant cost overruns that blow your budget.

Capturing your vision & Creating the home that’s right for you.
Our team will work closely with you to help you to select the plan that best suits your needs, works on your chosen section and ticks your boxes in terms of wish list and budget. The advantage of starting with a plan from our range is that it gives you cost certainty from the start so avoiding disappointment if dreams and budget do not align.We do however offer a full design and build process for those who want a unique one-off home design.

Specifications and Concept Plans.
Once we have worked with you to develop a plan that you love and meets your needs, we will finalise the concept plans, elevations then price the plans to your chosen specification. Our pricing will include all earthworks and ancillary site services, a detailed breakdown of all inclusions and exclusions, enabling you to make informed decisions.

Once finalised and approved your plans and specifications will form part of your fixed price building contract. This will be presented to you by your Madison Park Homes Building Consultant and fully explained before signing.

The Consent Process.
Once your specifications and selections are finalised, we prepare your drafting and engineering plans for submission to council for building consent (and resource consent if required).

Colour Selection/Finishes.
Once you have signed your build contract and it is unconditional, you then select the colours and finishes for your new home. Kitchen designers, landscape designers, and colour consultants are available to assist and guide you with your specific requirements.

Construction of your new home will commence as soon as possible after Council approves the plans. We will quickly determine a build start date and outline an indicative timeline.

I honestly can’t think of better words to praise MPH: more meticulous than you’d expect, more thoughtful than you’d imagine, more organised than you’d hope for, and more caring than you’d believe. That’s the unique charm of MPH—small in scale, but exceptional in quality. Highly recommended for anyone looking to build their dream“
