New build

Purpose-built for the home you're building.

Full aluminium window-and-door packages for new homes, engineered to your plans and delivered to the build programme. We work direct with architects, builders and homeowners, from shop drawings through to delivery on site, ready for your build team to install.

New-build joinery

Why choose new-build joinery.

For a new build, the joinery is designed in from the start. We take off quantities from your plans, prepare shop drawings for sign-off, and fabricate a complete package of thermally broken aluminium windows and doors to suit the design, the site and the H1 energy requirements. Everything is made to one standard and one colour, and scheduled to land when the build needs it.

Architect- and builder-ready
We read your plans, prepare shop drawings, and supply the schedules and specifications your consent and build team need.
Designed for H1 compliance
Thermally broken frames and Low-E double glazing specified to meet current New Zealand energy-efficiency requirements.
One supplier, one standard
Every opening in the house shares the same suite, hardware and colour, with no mismatches across the build.
Trade-friendly packages
Whole-house pricing for builders and developers, supplied and delivered to your programme for your own team to install.
Scheduled to your programme
Fabrication is planned around your build dates, so joinery arrives when it's needed, not weeks early.

Is it right for you?

A good fit when…

New homes and full rebuilds
Architects and designers specifying joinery
Builders and developers needing whole-house packages
Projects that must meet H1 energy requirements

Renovating an existing home rather than building new? An insert or full replacement is likely the better fit.

*Indicative figure only, describing heat loss through the frame rather than a total household energy saving. Based on BRANZ testing of thermally broken versus standard aluminium frames, as reported by Level (level.org.nz). Actual performance depends on frame size, glazing specification, install quality and your home's conditions. Certified performance data for your specified joinery is available on request.
