While the yard has changed since this photo was taken, it gives a great sense of the scale of our purpose-built undercover facility.

With space to build multiple transportable homes at once, our homes can move through each stage of the build under cover before being shifted onto a truck and delivered to site. It’s all part of building smarter.

A throwback to last year and our TVNZ 1 Moving Houses debut! Moving Pat and Dani's new Greenhaven Tararua to their site in the Wairarapa was done with skill and ease by the team at Britton Housemovers Ltd

Dani introduced us to the term 'rightsizing' - which we love and often use.

"I came across the term ‘rightsizing’ in an article and I really liked it,” Dani says. “I always thought sometimes people say ‘we have to downsize’ and it’s got a negative connotation. Whereas I think rightsizing is actually a positive word.”

When building, certainty matters.
For many people, the biggest questions around building are about cost and how long the home will take to build.

At Greenhaven Homes, our transportable build process is designed to give you greater clarity from the start.

With architect-designed homes, a fixed-price build approach, and a streamlined process managed by an experienced team, we help make building feel more considered, more efficient, and more certain.

Whether you’re planning a new home, adding a minor dwelling, creating space for family, or looking at a smart investment option, building smarter starts with knowing what to expect.

Greenhaven Homes. Building smarter, from concept to completion.

"First-home buyers are flocking to the one and two-bedroom property market, driving up asking prices for smaller dwellings at a faster rate than larger family homes." - (full article: stuff.co.nz/home-property/360975883/southland-and-west-coast-asking-prices-skyrocket-despite-national-stability)

It’s a trend we’re seeing too.

Our two-bedroom homes - including the new 70sqm layouts - are becoming an increasingly popular choice. Not as a compromise, but as a smarter way to live.

For some, it’s about downsizing without losing quality. For others, it’s adding a second dwelling, creating space for family, or generating an additional income stream.

What’s interesting is how this plays out for both new and existing property owners.

If you’re building new, it’s a way to step into a well-designed, architect-led home that makes sense for where you’re at. If you already own land, it opens up opportunities to do more with it - in a way that’s flexible and future-focused.

That’s where transportable homes come into their own.

They’re designed to work for your site now, but they’re not fixed in the same way as a traditional build. If things change, you have options - including the ability to relocate the home if needed.

It’s not about going smaller. It’s about building smarter - and choosing a home that works for how you want to live, now and into the future.

Thinking about adding a minor dwelling to your property?

With new rules allowing minor dwellings up to 70sqm without building consent, there are now more possibilities if you want to make better use of your land.

Whether you’re thinking about downsizing, creating space for extended whānau, supporting ageing parents, or adding rental income, it can be hard to know where to start.
