Signature Homes Greater Wellington is a locally owned new home builder based at 2a Lyttelton Avenue in Porirua, serving Wellington and the Wairarapa. Owned by Nick Jenkins and Tracy Tai, the team is one of the most sought-after and respected builders in the region, and takes on new build projects of every size — none too big, none too small.
The branch offers the full Signature Homes service under one roof: house and land packages, design and build from scratch, building from the Signature plan range, knock-down and rebuild, subdividing, and construction finance. Fixed-price builds give certainty of costs and make financing a new build simpler, and every home is backed by exclusive guarantees the company describes as the most comprehensive in New Zealand.
You can see the work first-hand at the Kenepuru Showhome, 78 Hokioi Drive — a cleverly crafted modern family home with a well positioned kitchen and a bedroom layout designed to grow with you, open weekday afternoons and weekend afternoons. The Porirua office is open Monday to Friday, 9am to 4:30pm.
Building a new home is one of the biggest projects most people ever take on, and Signature Homes Greater Wellington has made it their business to take the uncertainty out of it. Based at 2a Lyttelton Avenue in Porirua, this locally owned branch of one of New Zealand's best-known building brands has earned its place among the most sought-after and respected builders in the Wellington and Wairarapa region, with a refreshingly simple stance on scale: no new build project is too big or too small.
The franchise is owned by Nick Jenkins and Tracy Tai, who bring a wealth of experience building successful businesses and providing unrivalled client experiences. Their expertise across a range of industries gives them broad knowledge that adds real value for customers — whether you're hunting for a house and land package in Wellington or you're a landowner seeking a design and build solution for a section you already own.
Where some builders hand you plans and leave you to it, the Signature Homes approach is that it's all taken care of under one roof. The Greater Wellington team covers design and build from scratch for clients who want a home shaped around their site and their life; building from the Signature Homes plan range, including priced plans; house and land packages across the region; knock-down and rebuild for people who love their street but not what's standing on the section; subdividing land; and construction finance.
Cost certainty sits at the centre of the offer. Signature Homes proudly offers fixed-price builds, providing certainty of costs and making financing a new build in New Zealand a seamless and stress-free process. Behind that sits something rarer: the company's own exclusive guarantees, which Signature describes as the most comprehensive in New Zealand. In a property market with plenty of uncertainty, that combination of fixed pricing and strong guarantees is the assurance the team builds its reputation on.
If you'd rather walk through a finished home than scroll through renders, the Kenepuru Showhome at 78 Hokioi Drive in Kenepuru, Porirua is open to the public on weekday afternoons from 12pm to 2pm, and on Saturdays and Sundays from 12pm to 4pm. Cleverly crafted and designed with modern families in mind, the home is built around ultimate flexibility: a well positioned kitchen and a thoughtfully considered bedroom layout created to grow with you. It's a chance to get a feel for scale, light and flow in a way floor plans on a page never quite manage.
Part of the branch's appeal is that you're dealing with real, named people. Tina Daisley, the New Home Consultant, is a natural first port of call for anyone starting out; Amit Bala keeps the numbers honest as Quantity Surveyor; and Nick and Tracy are contactable directly by phone or email. There's even Georgia, who appears on the team page with arguably the best job title in New Zealand construction: Office Distraction.
Behind the local team stands the national Signature Homes network, with its sustainability and community commitments — including Trees that Count, where the running tally sits at more than 76,000 trees planted, alongside Save the Kiwi and Mates Construction.
The Porirua office is open Monday to Friday, 9am to 4:30pm, and the team can be reached on 0800 102 135. A practical first step is to browse the plan ranges and priced plans on the Signature Homes website, then arrive — or call — with a shortlist and, if you have one, details of your section. From there, Nick and Tracy's expert team will take you through the new home building process step by step, whether your project is a first home on a new subdivision or a forever home designed from the ground up.
