Since 2007, we have been dedicated offering our clients and their homes unmatched levels of protection. We take great pride in our commitment to delivering exceptional guarantees that give our clients peace of mind during their build, and well into the future.

Fixed Price and No Hidden Extras Guarantee

We understand that building a new home can be a significant investment and can bring some uncertainty and stress. That’s why we want to assure you that when you sign a contract to build with Signature Homes, you can have peace of mind knowing that the price specified in your Building Agreement will remain fixed, unless you give your approval for any changes.

Our commitment to you is to provide a transparent and straightforward building process, without any hidden costs or unpleasant surprises.

Guaranteed Completion Date

After pouring your concrete slab, we will provide you with a Guaranteed Completion Date. We promise that when we give you a move-in date for your new home, you can count on it. In the unlikely event that we fail to meet our commitment, we will cover your expenses to ensure that you are not inconvenienced. Having a set move-in date makes it easier for you to plan the sale of your current home or the final date of your rental agreement, as well as arranging for moving trucks and the all-important housewarming celebration.

Home Completion Guarantee

Our Home Completion Guarantee provides a higher level of cover than other completion guarantee available in NZ. It means that your payments are fully safeguarded and in the improbable scenario where your local Signature Homes franchise is unable to finish your home, our Home Completion Guarantee comes into play. The Signature Homes group will step in and ensure that your home is finished on time and in accordance with your specifications, as stated in your building agreement.

Two Year Service Guarantee

Relaxing in your new home can be made even more comforting by knowing that you’re covered for non-structural defects for two years. You can be rest assured that such defects are unlikely, thanks to our rigorous quality assurance checklist that we carry out throughout the construction process.

Ten-year Weather Tightness Guarantee

Signature Homes has built its reputation on building quality homes since 1983 . Our commitment to delivering well-structured homes is reflected in our Ten-Year Structural Guarantee. Rest assured that in the unlikely event of any structural defects, our guarantee provides 100% coverage, ensuring that your investment is fully protected.

Westmere

Knock Down & Rebuild

THE BRIEF

Ben and Kelly wanted to honour the aesthetic of the original 1920s and 1930s character bungalows that reside in Westmere, building a home that looked relaxed in its environment.

Having worked on many older properties, Ben and Kelly were excited to finally be able to achieve the layout they’ve always wanted. Their ‘must-haves’ were great indoor-outdoor flow, a minimum of four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a good-sized section.

THEIR EXPERIENCE

“The team at Signature Homes helped us to refine our ideas and thoughts, and after around 13 iterations, we ended up with the home we have today. They were very accommodating, and we’re very happy with the result” says Ben.

Te Atatu Knock Down & Rebuild

THE BRIEF

Mey and Robert had a clear vision for their new home - they wanted to feel like they were on holiday every day when at home. With a spacious 373m2 floor plan that’s light and bright, they achieved just that and more. The family’s priorities were centered around an open-plan living space that would seamlessly connect to alfresco areas, along with a home cinema to enhance their downtime.

THEIR EXPERIENCE

“The best thing about doing the knock down and rebuild meant we could stay where we were, the kids could still go to the same school, we were in our dream home but had the same location” says Mey.
