Custom New Builds
Some floor plans or sites don’t lend themselves to a remodel and completing a home extension or house renovation is not the best option.
That’s when a custom, architectural new build is the best port of call, and in some instances, it can be the most cost-effective way to tick all the boxes.

How we help you?
Certified Home Extensions provides full project management, from developing your ideas for your dream home, to finding you the right designer, then helping you through the consenting process, right through construction to your projects completion.
It is especially important to us that your home is designed and created to suit your lifestyle, fulfil your family’s needs, and fit within your budget. We will introduce you to one of our carefully chosen design companies that we are confident will help you best in all of the above requirements and more.
How we can confidently supply you with a fixed price fee proposal, even on a challenging extension or custom new home, is by providing all our sub-trades an accurate description of works, before meeting with them at your home where the work is about to commence.
We then check all their quotes to ensure nothing is missing.
You can have peace of mind that your home will be completed to the highest level, from the foundations right through to the finishing touches. During construction you home will be rigorously critiqued against our 266 point quality control checklist to ensure nothing is missed.
Certified Home Extensions are members of the New Zealand Certified Builders Association, so you can enjoy ultimate peace of mind knowing that only qualified, trained and experienced builders are attending to your project. All our work will be backed by New Zealand’s most comprehensive 10 year residential building guarantee.
Communication is the key to success, this is why Certified Home Extensions have developed comprehensive systems to keep you informed every step from design to completion. We have also invested in the most up to date scheduling technology to ensure your home will be completed on time and budget.
Barefoot Walking Guarantee
Your home extension site will be so tidy, you can admire the progress our team has made in bare feet!
The majority of our clients choose to live in their homes, while their house extension and/or renovation is completed, which is completely understandable considering rent prices in Auckland! This means that a tidy, safe site is crucial to us, as we work on the home extensions and/or renovations that our clients have been dreaming about. Having a tidy site means that the building experience is enjoyable for everybody, whether it is tradies, clients or neighbours watching on.
Here at Certified Home Extensions we completely understand that when you trust us with your home extension or remodel, you’re trusting us with your biggest asset and that is why we want to make it as easy and exciting as possible for you to come and admire progress. That’s why our guarantee to you, is that little (& big) hands, toes and paws will be protected from the beginning of the construction of your home extension and/or renovation in Auckland to the end.
We're great at extensions, but here's when not to call us:
However, if you’re interested in building a strong relationship with a reputable company for home extensions, house, bungalow & villa renovations and partial home remodels in Auckland, give us a call.
If your project is doing a small deck, replacing a shower or toilet or something similar, we are probably not a good fit for your needs. You’ll get quicker service at a lower cost by contacting a local handyman in your area of Auckland.
However, if any of these works are part of a larger home extension and/or renovation project then get in contact , as we can easily schedule these in as part of a construction project and can also help you to develop a master plan for what your home will eventually look like.
If we’re being honest, we’re not the cheapest home extension or renovation builders in Auckland (also not the most expensive), so if you’re interested in getting the lowest cost possible for your project, please do not give us a call!
We’d love to help you get a clear understanding of how much your home extension or renovation project will cost, as well as how the systems that we’ve developed over the last 30 years will make your experience easy.

about us
“We’re really stoked with the changes that we made and how the project come out. The communication was exceptional, the workmanship was really good and all of the subcontractors were pleasant and tidy. We were also done before we expected to be, which was amazing! A great result!”
Rod & Jan

“It’s blended in really, really well and as you’ll see from the outside, it looks like it has always been there. One of the things that we said was we didn’t want it to look like an extension, we wanted it to look like it was part of the original house and that has certainly been achieved to our satisfaction”
Stephen & Heather
Wattle Downs
“We’re very busy people so we needed somebody that would do everything for us. We got Alvin and the Certified Home Extension’s team in and they did exactly that, we didn’t have to think about anything, apart from choosing a few colors. Everything was done for us, priced out and it was a complete turnkey operation which made it so much easier for everybody.”

Alvin has assisted his client with a major renovation and extension to their family home and I was privileged to assist in organising the finance. When working with builders it is important they are open and transparent on the quoted costs, and in case of renovation / moving a home / adding an extension, Alvin went beyond his scope and him and his team kept us involved all the way through the project and this made the management of the funds relatively easy. The home looks great and the clients are very happy. I would recommend Alvin and his team to anyone who may think about a renovation project. John van Winden2024-11-07 CHE did an amazing job with the two projects they have undertaken for Franklin Hospice. The quality of the work was outstanding and all the staff and tradies were accomodating, friendly and even cleaned up after themselves. Great job CHE - I would highly recommend Sue suem992024-09-14 Great company to work with. They have been extremely reliable and efficient. Alison D2024-09-11 Communication throughout the entire process was on point! We were kept across all major milestones and most of the back and forth with other parties was handled entirely for us. The absolute key standout for myself and my family was that the work could be done (safely) while we were still living in our home. We knocked down walls, extended a room even replaced a wall with a new ranch slider and deck. A toddler and a cat could remain in the house throughout thanks to the processes, experience and cleanup that the team employed. Great group to work with, if you value quality, clear communication and safety then it's a no brainer in my opinion. You definitely get what you pay for! Lewis T2024-09-06 Absolutely love the work Alvin does for us. Super fast and efficient. Definitely recommending to all my families and friends. Suhaylah Harun2024-09-02 We have worked with Certified Home Extensions on a labour only basis for a number of their projects and have found them to be professional, knowledgeable and solution focused. Renovations are often complex and require a highly skilled team - we recommend speaking to CHE and getting the benefit of their extensive experience. We enjoy working with Alvin and Emily and look forward to the next project. Timothy Faleatua2024-07-09 Emily from Certified Home Extensions is a pleasure to work with - she has a can-do attitude, great industry knowledge and is solution focused. We have worked with CHE on a few projects and have achieved a great result each time. We will certainly work with them again. Rachel Faleatua2024-07-09 CHE renovated our house, completely remodelling our living areas and opening the house up to our backyard. Alvin and the team came up with and delivered a solution that we love! I definitely recommend them they are a great team to work with. Jon Richards2024-07-07 I would highly recommend Emily and her team to anyone looking for a building specialist. They are a pleasure to work with, and they deliver high-quality work that exceeds expectations. Thank you for the xmas card and little treat :) Erena Donnelly (Locky Monsoon)2023-05-12
Who are Certified Home Extensions?
Alvin and his lovely wife Lucy began Certified Home Extensions in 2003, after observing a lack of trade quality builders providing a high quality end to end experience for house extensions and renovations in Auckland.
To this day, there is nothing that they love more than handing over the keys to a top quality extension and/or renovation, knowing that families will be enjoying it for many years to come.
Look forward to meeting you soon and discussing how we can make your design to construction experience easy!
