TYLER & Peggy

The Tyler and The Peggy are crafted to exceed the New Zealand Building Code in key areas, including insulation, glazing, and airtightness. Built with the same high-quality materials and expert craftsmanship as larger homes, they deliver exceptional durability and comfort. We offer flexible construction methods tailored to suit diverse environments—whether coastal, mountainous, or urban—and accommodate a range of budgets.

NEW ZEALAND BUILT

These homes are designed to withstand the full range of New Zealand's environmental challenges, from intense sun and heavy rain to strong winds, extreme temperatures, earthquakes, snow, and salt spray. Built locally by skilled craftspeople, they meet or exceed the New Zealand Building Code, ensuring durability and quality you can trust.

TRANSPORTABLE

These homes are our largest single-storey designs that can be transported on a loader without requiring an oversize house-moving permit. While they can be built on wheels for easy mobility around your site, they are primarily designed to be placed on permanent foundations, such as piles or a concrete slab, ensuring stability and longevity.

Ready for Council consent

We’ve created architectural drawings that are ready to go directly to Council if you decide to place your Tyler home on foundations with full building consent.

Even better, this design aligns with the government’s proposed exemption from building and resource consents for "Granny Flats" under 60 m², set to take effect from mid-2025 (conditions apply). This means less red tape and more freedom to bring your vision to life!
