High Quality Homes,

Crafted Responsibly

Welcome to HDW Builders – Wanaka’s Passionate Craftsmen for Sustainable, High-Performance Homes.

Based in the stunning Wanaka region, HDW Builders is driven by a genuine passion for construction and an unwavering commitment to eco-building integrity. We don’t just build houses; we create exceptional living spaces designed for modern life, built responsibly for the future.

Made with Integrity

Our core philosophy centers on sustainability without compromising on quality or performance. This means meticulously constructing high-performance homes that are energy-efficient, comfortable, and built to last. We achieve this by prioritising natural, healthy materials like sustainable timbers and wool insulation, minimising on-site waste, and thoughtfully incorporating recycled or vintage elements wherever possible – adding unique character and reducing environmental impact.
