We Get You
You’ve thought about building your dream home for a long time. You’ve got a vision for what it’ll be like and for the life you’ll create there for you and your family. You want a builder who works within your budget and timeline. A builder with a solid reputation. A builder who listens cares and guides you through each step of the process.
We think that builder could be us. Why? Because we’ve been bringing Kiwi dreams - just like yours - to life for more than 25 years.
Our Grassroots
Matt Lagerberg and Peter Cooney began their journey as Classic Builders in 1996 and have always believed that Kiwis deserve the opportunity to own their own home.
They saw a growing need in the market for quality, value-for-money homes built by honest, agile, daring and creative people. Classic Builders has gone from strength to strength ever since.
Founded in the Bay of Plenty, Classic Builders is now one of the largest residential building companies in the country. From Queenstown and Canterbury up to Wellington, Waikato, Auckland and Northland, we continue to expand our reach while initiating change toward a better future for housing in New Zealand.
One Team
Classic Builders is part of the Classic Group, a diverse collection of businesses that work across the construction sector. Striving to create innovative, sustainable solutions that have a positive impact, our why is simple - we want to get more Kiwis into home ownership in all its forms.
Building Dreams, Creating Futures
We take pride in building the future of every customer in every home we create. Why?
- We believe in dreams, and we work tirelessly to bring these to life for our customers.
- We believe in smart solutions, using innovation and skill to create a compelling customer experience.
- We believe in more opportunities for Kiwis and pioneering a new benchmark of affordable housing in NZ.

TEAMING UP WITH CLASSIC BUILDERS
Finding a builder who can interpret the way you want to live inside and outside the walls you intend to build is important. Having confidence in their capability to deliver that vision into a real-life home is absolutely vital. This is what you need to know about the Classic Builders client experience.
More than 26 Years
Classic Builders is one of the largest residential builders in NZ. We've built more than 7,000 homes for Kiwi’s, and the plan is to build thousands more.
Made in NZ
We’re proudly owned and operated by Kiwis. Being privately owned means your journey with Classic in the North Island, will be the same as someone else’s in the South!
Quality sticklers
We take pride in building for the future of every client and the family they will share their home with. More comprehensive than most new home warranties, the Classic Builders 10-year warranty is there to give every client complete confidence in their decision to build.
Fostering community
This is something we work hard at. We get involved in local initiatives and organisations that support family, health, and gathering people (and communities) together.
