Our Services
Granny flats and tiny homes, built right on your land
Granny flats and minor dwellings across the Waikato. We handle design, council consents, and the full build.
What we offer
Granny flat & minor dwelling builds
Whatever you're building for, we work through the same process — design, consents, build, handover — and we'll tell you honestly what your section can support.
Self-contained dwellings for parents, adult kids or extended whānau. Close enough to share life, separate enough for everyone to have their own space.
Why choose us
What sets us apart
Adding a second dwelling is one of the highest-return investments you can make on your section — if it's built properly.
Consents handled in-house
Most lots under 65sqm don't need a resource consent — we check your zoning, file the building consent, and walk you through it all.
Designed for family
Whether it's for ageing parents or adult kids, we design around real-life flow — private but connected.
Self-contained or attached
Full kitchen, bathroom, services. Connect to your existing supply or run independent.
Modular or stick-built
Built on-site to order, or transportable if you might move it later. We'll talk through the trade-offs.

Our process
From the first walk-around to keys in hand
Before anyone talks price, we get to know what you're building and why — reviewing your site, how you want to use the space, and your budget. Then we cost the full scope so you have a fixed contract upfront.
Client story
The whole build was easy from day one. Finer Builds kept us informed, were upfront about costs, and delivered exactly what they promised.

FAQs
Your questions, answered
Quick answers to the questions we get asked most. If yours isn't here, drop us a line — we love a curly one.
Almost always yes — building consents are required for any habitable structure. Resource consents are only triggered if you exceed certain thresholds (over 65sqm in most cases) or fall outside the planning rules for your zone. We handle the consenting process.
