Coromandel Homes is a family-owned building company based in Whangamatā. We have delivered 200+ homes in the Coromandel and know the land, the local trades, and the consenting process inside out.
About
We work closely with clients and keep communication clear and honest from the first conversation through to handover.
Our reputation is built on the quality of the work and the people we work with. We use trusted local tradies on every job and stand behind everything we build.
We surf, hike, mountain bike, and get out on the water. The Coromandel is a great place to live, and that is exactly why our clients choose to build here.
When you build with Coromandel Homes, you get a local team that knows the region, knows the process, and gets the job done.

"We had a wonderful experience building our family home with Coromandel Homes. From the start, Justin made us feel comfortable and helped us stay within budget while designing our dream home. The communication was excellent, and we felt fully involved throughout the process. We’re thrilled with the result and would recommend Coromandel Homes to anyone."
