Location – Kapiti

"We are proud to be leading the way in high-performance and PassivHaus design, architecture and construction in Kapiti."

Chay’s journey into high-performance home building began at 16 in the UK, where he trained under experts in low-energy construction. Driven by a desire to provide a safer and warmer lifestyle for his young family, he relocated to New Zealand in 2007. In 2010, he launched his own construction company, serving the Kapiti and Wellington regions. 

Erwin, who started his apprenticeship at just 15, went on to study structural engineering and project management. In Germany, he gained experience in sustainable and Passive House projects before moving to New Zealand in 2005 for more family time and an outdoor lifestyle. With a background in managing large commercial projects, Erwin transitioned to high-performance housing in 2017 and partnered with Chay to help elevate New Zealand's residential building standards.

OUR TEAM

Together, Chay and Erwin build every home with precision, ensuring top-tier quality, energy efficiency, and seamless project delivery. Their homes stay on budget and on schedule, exceeding their customers expectations. They take pride in sharing their passion for passive and high-performance homes with their clients, who are just as enthusiastic about creating healthier, more sustainable living spaces.
