Simple Approach

Our aim is to make purchasing a new home as simple, straightforward and hassle free as possible.

We understand that buying a new home is the most important and expensive purchase most people will ever make and we appreciate that many people will be nervous with all the options available to them, so we strive to make the entire process simple from start to finish.

We understand the needs and aspirations of our customers, that’s why we pay particular attention to what’s really important to you and your lifestyle.

We believe in building homes in which people can grow, a place which you’re proud to call home and where memories are made.

Engineering Muscle

Through effective working partnerships, our experience, and the skills of our people, we provide innovative and well-engineered solutions. Working with other divisions of Breen Construction, we offer our clients unique solutions that can make a real difference.

Peace of Mind

There’s no doubt about it. Building a new home is an extremely exciting time. But without the right support and assistance, it can end up being one of the most stressful, too.

Which is not something you have to worry about with Breen. That’s because from the moment you put down your deposit on your new Breen home, to picking up your shiny new set keys from our sales office, we’re here to make sure the whole process is as straight foward and stress-free as possible.

We’ll be in touch regularly to keep you up to speed with how everything’s progressing. And if you ever need to ask us anything, just pick up the phone and give one of our sales consultants at your development a call.

All this means that the only things you’ll have left to worry about is what fittings you’d like in your new home. And we’ll even help you decide that too.

Unrivalled Service

We believe anyone can build a quality home. That is why we differentiate ourselves by providing you with a service that is both first in class and personal from every angle of your project.

It does not just end there, continued after sales service excellence is something we pride and measure ourselves on, because we do not believe our relationship with you ends when we hand you the keys to your new home.

Testimonial

We have found working with Breen Homes to be stress free and simple. Great communication at all times has made it easy to build the home of our dreams. We enjoyed working with a family owned local business with good connections to the Central Otago and Lakes District community. – Craig and Sharyn Park

FAQ’s

WHY BUILD / BUY NEW?

Whether you’re a first time buyer, an upsizer or a downsizer, buying a new home makes sense. Today’s new homes are developed to extremely high standards and are guaranteed to save you money on fuel and water bills.

Not only are new homes more efficient and can save you money on your energy bills, but you can also select all fixtures and fittings throughout your home.

Furthermore with a 10 year Masterbuilder Guarantee provided with every new home, you can enjoy peace of mind for years to come.

CAN I MODIFY DESIGNS?

We understand that putting your own mark on your home is important. Therefore with all our design build ranges, we provide you with the option to modify designs – free of charge if you agree to build with us. If you are considering changing a specific design, please let us know so we can advise you accordingly.

CAN YOU HELP US FIND LAND?

Where you build is as important as what you build. With over 70 years of knowledge and expertise many of our customers ask us for advise on acquiring land. Contact us today to discuss your requirements and we will be able to advise you according to your budget and walk you through the steps to finding your dream section.

CAN WE BE INVOLVED?

With Breen Homes, you can be totally involved with all major decisions and material selections, or you can leave everything up to us and just pick up the keys when your home is finished – it is completely up to you.

WHAT SUPPLIERS DO YOU USE?

Being in business for over 70 years, we have a built a solid team of professional tradesmen – some who work full-time, other that are suppliers we have used for many years. Our understanding with construction is in order to build great homes, you have to surround yourself with the best. At Breen, our wide range of sub-contractors and supplier relationships ensure that you have the best options available in terms of product and service. Whenever we quote bespoke jobs, we can guarantee very competitive rates as we get the best prices from supply partners who don’t compromise quality or service.

ARE THERE ANY HIDDEN COSTS?

In short, no. Once you are happy with your working drawings, your fixed price contract will outline what is included and what is not and we make sure every detail is broken down for your records. Full transparency is key to building any relationship and this is truly the case when building your home with Breen. Some circumstances, however, we may be unable to give a fixed price and so instead, we will include a realistic quotation – if these arise, you will be notified and this will be highliughted and discussed before the authorisation to build is formalised and agreed.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?

This is a tricky question as it completely depends on a number of variables such the section type and size, the complexity of the design and the scale of the home. We never compromise on the quality of the finished product, so although we provide realistic time-scales and work to a time plan, there can be unforeseen scenarios that can delay the construction. What we can guarantee is that you will be delighted when you move in.

WHAT IS YOUR SQUARE METRE COST?

At Breen Homes we cater for a wide market, for all budgets – but whatever yours is, we can promise we can provide you what you are looking for. Contact Breen Homes today to discuss your budget and ideas.
