Our Story

At Jennian Homes Wairarapa, our journey is more than just building homes, it’s a story of passion, craftsmanship, and family legacy.

It all began when my father, a full-time joiner at Rigg Zschokke, started building his own home. His attention to detail and natural leadership on-site caught the eye of a local building company owner, who offered him a role as a project manager. Dad embraced the opportunity, and a few years later, when the owner decided to retire during a quiet period in the market, he offered to sell the business to my father — a pivotal moment that marked the beginning of what Jennian Homes Wairarapa is today.

From those humble beginnings, we’ve grown into a second-generation building company with deep roots in the Wairarapa community. We specialise in custom home design and construction, tailoring every project to reflect our clients’ unique needs and aspirations. Whether it’s a light commercial build, a retirement village, first home, or a dream family home, our team brings decades of experience and heartfelt dedication to every job. We build homes that reflect your life, your values, and your future — with craftsmanship that honours our legacy and your vision.

That’s why we offer a versatile range of house plans that can be tailored to suit your lifestyle, site, and budget. Prefer to start from scratch?
