Creating homes, designed around you
At R&B Build, our architectural designers, builders, quantity surveyors, project managers and colour consultant work together under one roof, creating a more efficient and connected design and build process.
RBA Studio works alongside our building team from the outset, creating homes tailored to the site, lifestyle, design preferences and budget.
Keeping design, costing and construction in-house gives us greater control over quality, costs and timelines, while allowing decisions to be made quickly from concept through to completion.
One Team. One Beautiful Home.
Building on Christchurch’s hills offers exceptional views and unique opportunities, while also presenting its own design and construction challenges.
Elevated sites can maximise natural light, privacy and connection with the surrounding landscape, while creating opportunities for distinctive architecture and enhanced property value.
Every hillside section is different. We design and build around the site, considering its orientation, slope, views, access and surroundings to create a home that makes the most of its location.
Our experience with hills allows us to navigate the challenges of hillside building while creating homes that are practical, distinctive and built to last.
Your Dream Home in a Location You Love
Knock down and rebuild to create a new, bespoke home on a property and in a location you already know and love. Starting fresh gives you the freedom to design around your lifestyle, with modern spaces, energy-efficient features and the latest fixtures and finishes.
Stay connected to your neighbourhood, schools, community and local amenities without the cost and disruption of moving. Rebuilding also gives you the opportunity to make better use of your existing site, create a home that suits your needs and potentially explore future subdivision opportunities.
By starting from scratch, you can avoid the limitations and compromises of an older home while creating a home designed specifically for the way you want to live.
Design, Develop, Deliver
Medium-density housing provides an opportunity to create well-located, modern and energy-efficient homes that make better use of available land. Our experienced team can help you assess the potential of a site and take your development from concept through to completion.
We manage every stage of the development, including site assessment, feasibility, planning, design, costing, geotechnical requirements and construction. Our in-house team works together to maximise the potential of each site while keeping the project practical, efficient and aligned with the market.
From initial concept and pricing through to project management, interior design and completion, R&B Build provides one integrated service under one roof.
