Crafting Dream Homes in the Heart of Central Otago

  • Visualise It

  • Design it

  • Make It Yours

  • Plan it

  • Shape it

  • Create It

  • Build it

  • Love It

  • Make It Home

  • Craft It

  • Elevate It

  • We start with a no-obligation meeting to get to know you, your vision, and your priorities. Together we’ll look at your site, drawings, or ideas and talk through what matters most — budget, design, timeframe, and lifestyle.

    No plans yet? No worries. We can point you in the right direction with trusted local architects and designers who align with your vision and budget.

  • As your architect or designer develops plans, we stay involved to provide practical buildability feedback. Once your drawings are finalised and building consent is granted, we’re ready to move into detailed planning.

  • If you’d like to move forward with us, the next step is signing a PSA. This allows us to engage our trusted subcontractors and suppliers, we involve our Quantity Surveyor to prepare accurate pricing tailored to your project.

  • We’ll present your detailed pricing and proposed contract structure in a meeting (in person or via Zoom). If you’re happy to proceed, we’ll issue an official NZCB Residential Building Contract. Once this is signed, your start date is confirmed and locked into our schedule.

  • Before breaking ground, we ensure everything is in place for a smooth start:

    • Health & safety planning and site signage

    • Scheduling of subcontractors

    • Client onboarding into Rave Build, our project management software, giving you 24/7 access to schedules, progress notes, and site photos

    • A pre-construction meeting about one week before work begins to confirm all details and logistics

  • Our skilled team, led by Cam on site, brings your plans to life with attention to detail and efficiency. Tara provides weekly updates with photos and notes, keeping you informed and confident throughout. We coordinate all subcontractors and maintain a safe, tidy, and respectful site at all times.

  • On completion, we carry out thorough quality checks before walking you through your new home or renovated space. You’ll receive all compliance documentation and warranties, and we’ll check in after handover to ensure everything continues to meet expectations.

Dream. Design. Build.

“A new home is your chance to create something uniquely yours — from the layout to the little details. We’re here to build it exactly how you imagined, with quality that lasts and a process you’ll actually enjoy.”

— Cam Leask, Director of Latch Build

A vision in progress — and the best is still to come.

This is a behind-the-scenes look at one of our current architectural builds in Wānaka, designed by the talented Pete at Open Architecture . It starts with the render, then jumps into where we’re at now — with the structure complete and the gib going up, bringing the interior one step closer to feeling like a home.

At Latch Build, we’re a local, hands-on team passionate about delivering architectural homes with care, quality, and attention to detail. We’re halfway through this build — and now comes the part we love most: the finishing touches.

What’s coming next?
✔️ Engineered timber flooring
✔️ Schist stone features
✔️ Cedar and Alpine tray cladding
✔️ Interior paintwork + joinery install
✔️ Lighting, textures, and all the final details

We’re excited to see this home come to life — and to share it with you as it happens.
