DESIGNED AROUND LIFESTYLE

Custom homes

Building a home is a big project. The goal here is simple: a smooth process, clear communication, and a result that feels considered, solid, and built to last.

Makku delivers custom new builds with a strong understanding of coastal and hinterland conditions - from early planning through to handover.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Builder-led project delivery

One point of contact from start to finish - coordinating trades, managing timelines, and holding standards across every stage.

Built for local conditions

Coastal builds need extra care. Materials, detailing, and sequencing matter more when salt air and exposure are part of the environment.

Why MakkU

Bespoke solutions tailored to the site, brief and budget
Attention to detail across structure and finishes
Experienced leadership with 15+ years in the industry
Problem-solving excellence when the job gets complex
Clear communication from concept to completion
Quality assurance through build
Local supplier network including key trades and coastal-suited products

What’s included

Custom home builds typically include:

Project management and trade coordination
Design consultation (where needed)
Material sourcing through trusted suppliers
Quality checks at key milestones
Clear communication throughout the build

ENVIRONMENTAL UNDERSTANDING

Built for coastal ENVIRONMENTS

Homes near the coast need extra thought. That includes how materials behave over time, moisture and exposure management, and the details that protect the structure and finishes long-term.

Expect guidance on:

Material selection for durability
Smart external detailing and protection
Coordinating the right specialist suppliers where needed

The Build Process

1. Initial consult

Talk through goals, style, budget range and timing. Plans can be reviewed if available, or clear next steps mapped out if you’re early stage.
2. Scope + feasibility

Confirm what’s being built and what needs resolving early. This includes access, approvals, engineering, site constraints and key selections.
3. Pricing + program

Confirm a clear scope, clear allowances and realistic timing. No assumptions or guesswork - just clarity before construction moves forward.
4. Construction

Trades are coordinated and the build is managed on site. Quality is monitored at each stage with regular updates provided throughout the process.
5. Handover

Final walkthrough, detailing and completion of any outstanding items. A clean handover process with support available after the build is complete.
