Site stories
Where the build gets real.
From fresh slab pours to finished kitchens, milestone moments to supplier shout outs, this is where you’ll find the stories behind the sites. Progress shots, project updates, BTS reels and a few laughs along the way.
We’re proud to build across Auckland, the North Shore, Hibiscus Coast, Matakana and beyond … and even prouder of the people, places and purpose that shape every project.
When you build with Ze, you build with family. And this is the proof.
Good builder or good business? Why householders need both
Building or renovating a home is a big decision and it has the potential to be both financially and emotionally exhausting.
Naturally, most people focus on finding a builder with strong technical skills and a good reputation for quality. Workmanship matters, but the way a business operates behind the scenes is just as important as what happens on site.
