Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Where does Advance Homes build?+

We build across Hawke's Bay — Napier, Hastings, Havelock North, Te Awa and the surrounding districts. We're Hawke's Bay born and bred, so we know the local sections, soils and council requirements.

How much does it cost to build a new home in Hawke's Bay?+

Build costs depend on the design, your section and the finishes you choose. Try our "What could I build?" calculator to see which of our designs fit your budget with a realistic ballpark figure, then talk to us for an accurate quote.

Can I visit an Advance Homes show home?+

We have just sold our previous Show Home in Kenny Rd - We are currently building a new one in Frimley, Hastings. Construction is underway as we speak!

Do I need my own land to build with Advance Homes?+

No. We can build on your section, or set you up with one of our house & land packages across Napier, Hastings and Havelock North. We also sell brand-new pre-built homes if you'd rather skip the build entirely.

Is Advance Homes a Registered Master Builder?+

Yes. Advance Homes is a Registered Master Builder, and every home we build is covered by the 10-year Master Build Guarantee.

Can I change one of your home designs?+

Absolutely. All 27 of our architecturally drawn plans are adaptable — move walls, add rooms or flip the layout to suit your section. You can also bring us your own plans and sketches for a fully bespoke home.
