Why Become a Design Builders Partner?
Over 25 years of experience
The foundations for Design Builders were laid over 25 years ago by our founder Andy Bell, when we built a home for our first client.
We’ve come a long way and, like anything that’s built to last, we have a clear vision. We offer New Zealanders something unique by designing and building superb one-off homes, no catalogues or templates. We call it ‘A home built around you’.
Backed by a Superb Support Team
Each Design Builders Regional Partner is part of a professional network. Partners benefit from our support. We’ll give you the right set of tools, and we’re not talking the gear that gets loaded in the van. From our brilliant design team to marketing and advertising expertise, from the latest IT and HR systems to administration and accounting. All you need to grow your successful business.
Reduced Risk for You
Ask anyone who has started their own business, and they will tell you that it’s challenging. We help you take away the risks, so you can focus on reaping the rewards. Becoming a partner is straightforward, and once you’re up and running, we’ll reduce complexity for you so you concentrate on building your business, and growing your profits.
Strong relationships with suppliers
Think of Design Builders as a firm that combines the uniqueness of an architect with the clout, buying power and systems efficiencies that a group house building company can deliver. Right off the bat, you’ll benefit from our serious buying power and strong enduring relationships with top suppliers, and much more.
