Ten Great Reasons to Build with Ashcroft Homes
When Ashcroft Homes started back in 2007, we were the only Auckland group home builder to specialise in purely brick and tile homes. We’ve been building quality homes in the greater Auckland Region for over a decade now. From Kumeu to Pokeno, our teams have delivered exceptional one and two storey brick and tile homes that our customers have loved.
2. Our team
Our team of experienced architects, engineers, project managers and builders are led by our innovative and customer focussed managerial team. With every project, our goal is to build a home our customers will love, at a price they can afford, while ensuring the process of building is enjoyable too. Whether building for an investor, or a family, we want our customers to feel in control of their project and we believe the secret to that is simply great communication; explaining upfront what to expect during each phase of the build and then following through on that promise. We are extremely proud that many of our Ashcroft customers choose to build with us time and time again.
3. Our approach
We are a family business and behave as if our customers were part of our family too, working with honesty and openness as each situation demands. We do not make wild promises – instead we do what we know to the best of our ability; building safe and comfortable homes on time and within budget, every time.
4. Our Plans
Our range of plans have been expertly designed, enabling us to build quality homes of solid brick and tile construction while keeping build costs to a minimum, and making the very best use of the land they occupy. Every plan has gone through a rigorous design process to ensure the ultimate in style, solidity, and interior living comfort. Our complete range offers distinct differences in plan size providing options for those with smaller sections or budget, right through to meeting the needs of larger families or people wanting an executive home.
Our concise range means our build teams know all of our plans well and are able to turn out excellent quality in a faster time frame, without the potential errors and cost overruns that come from a bespoke build project.

We found Ashcroft Homes to be awesome, right from the word go. They supported us through the entire build process, always taking time to explain what they were doing and why. They’re honest and reliable, and you can trust they’ll follow through on their word. We think Ashcroft Homes build very good quality homes for a lot less than their competitors.
