Some common
Who is Transbuild Onsite?
Transbuild Onsite is the onsite architectural build arm of Transbuild, designing and building premium architectural homes across Auckland and Waikato. Our parent business has been building transportable homes across the North Island since 2012, and Transbuild Onsite extends that operational care into architecturally designed homes built onsite on your land.
Where do you build?
We design and build architectural homes onsite across Auckland and Waikato Our show space and head office are based at 250b Sutton Road, Drury.
How long does a Transbuild Onsite home take to build?
Build timelines vary by project type and complexity. A Home Collection home typically moves from contract to handover in around six months. A larger Private Residence may take up to twelve months, depending on site, scope and consent. You’ll have a clear timeline before any contract is signed.
Can I modify the plans?
Yes. Every Home Collection plan is designed as a refined starting point — we tailor layout, finishes and exterior options around your site, lifestyle and brief. Flip or mirror the plan. Choose Mono or Gable. Adjust the scullery, cladding, deck or garage configuration. Talk to us about how we can shape the plan around your build.
How does pricing work?
Once your scope, specification and site requirements are confirmed, your build price is fixed to the agreed contract. Any variations are documented and approved before work proceeds. Clear scope, agreed pricing, transparent variations.
Are you a Master Builder?
Yes. We’re members of the Registered Master Builders, and every Transbuild Onsite home is backed by the Master Build 10-Year Guarantee — independent protection during the build and after handover.
What's the difference between the Home Collection and Private Residences?
The Home Collection offers a curated range of architecturally designed plans, ready to tailor to your site and lifestyle. Private Residences is our bespoke design pathway. The homes shown are examples of what’s possible – not a fixed collection of plans. Use one as your starting point or begin with a blank page to create a one-of-one home shaped around your site, lifestyle and vision.
The Home Collection offers a faster, more cost-effective route, while Private Residences gives you complete design freedom.
What is Reserve — House & Land?
Reserve pairs curated land with a Transbuild Onsite home, delivered complete. We select the section, match it with a plan tailored to the site, and handle the build through to handover.
