At HB Homes & Commercial, your home is built inside our purpose-built factory, where everything happens in a controlled environment. This means no weather delays, no materials left exposed to the elements, and no uncertainty around timelines, just consistent quality and a smoother build process from start to finish. With all trades working under one roof, our team follows a clear sequence that ensures efficiency, safety, and craftsmanship at every stage. While we’re building your home in the factory, your site is being prepared in parallel, which means far less disruption and a quicker move-in.
Benefits of building off-site vs on-site
Our buildings are alarmed and monitored so no time is wasted packing up equipment each day. There is limited waste as all offcuts are re-sorted into reusable products such as pegs and profiles. Other key drivers of building off-site versus on-site are;
- Faster, more efficient build times. We can design, build and transport to your property in 12-16 weeks.
- Costs savings compared to conventional on-site builds
- No site construction delays due to weather
- Sustainable buildings and waste minimisation
- Innovative designs and consenting managed by us
- Certainty of on-time delivery and budget
- Undercover construction provides assurance for dry and on-time production methods
Our Environment
At HB Homes & Commercial, building well means looking beyond the walls themselves. We believe every project should have a positive impact - caring for our people, our community, and our environment. From reducing waste and choosing responsible materials, to supporting local causes and keeping our supply chain close to home, we’re committed to building in a way that leaves things better than we found them.
Rather than relying on purchased carbon credits, we’re committed to hands-on action by planting native trees and reducing our footprint wherever possible. Over the past years, we’ve undertaken a rigorous measurement process to understand our emissions in detail. This includes every tonne of carbon generated across our operations, as well as those from our subcontractors and suppliers, so we can make meaningful, lasting change.
We believe building off-site in our purpose-built factory is the most sustainable construction method. It reduces downtime, transport needs, and resource use, while cutting energy consumption and emissions, meaning less impact on the immediate environment. Alongside this approach, we are committed to waste minimisation: in 2023, we halved the amount of construction waste sent to landfills by implementing robust recycling and waste separation practices. By combining innovative building methods with responsible waste management, we deliver high-quality homes and commercial spaces while protecting the environment around us.
Giving back to our community and caring for the land are at the heart of what we do. Each year, our team comes together for our annual planting day, partnering with Hohepa Nursery to plant native trees and shrubs grown from locally sourced seeds. These days are more than just environmental work, they’re an opportunity to connect with the land, restore local waterways, and contribute to a greener, healthier Hawke’s Bay. By taking a hands-on approach, we actively offset carbon emissions, foster sustainability, and make a lasting positive impact on our community.
Our connection to Hawke’s Bay runs deep. Every project we undertake is rooted in respect for the land we build on, the people we work with, and the wider community we’re part of. From planting natives to restore local waterways, to supporting initiatives like the Lowe Corporation Rescue Helicopter, mentoring apprentices, and fostering strong connections within our community, we strive to leave a positive mark wherever we can. For us, building isn’t just about structures, it’s about strengthening the communities we live in.
