Forté Build brings design and construction together under one roof. Hayley designs it. Hamish builds it. As owners, we’re there from first conversation to final handover. It’s what we do best. It’s our Forté.
We started Forté because we believe there is a better way to design and build a home. To often clients are passed from one person to the next, with important details and accountability getting lost along the way. We wanted design and construction back at the same table.
We keep our build numbers limited so we can stay personally involved, communicate directly and give every home the attention it deserves.
Whether it's your first home, an investment, a downsize or the home you've been dreaming about, the approach stays the same. One team. One vision. Your build, our Forté.
Hamish leads every build from the ground up. As owner and Licensed Building Practitioner, he's on site coordinating trades, managing the schedule, liaising with council and ensuring every detail is built to the highest standard. The person who owns the company is the same person swinging the hammer, solving problems and making sure your home is built right.
Hayley leads the design side of every project, guiding you through concept plans, kitchen design, interior selections and all the details that bring your home to life. As a co-owner and qualified interior designer, she's with you from the first sketch to the final selections, keeping you informed every step of the way so the process feels exciting, organised and stress-free.
The people who design and price your home are the same people who see it through to completion. One team, one point of contact, from the first conversation to the day we hand over the keys.
From day one, you'll know what's happening and what to expect. Regular updates, honest communication and no surprises - every step of the way.
We build homes we'd be proud to call our own. With quality craftsmanship, trusted materials and ongoing support after handover, we're committed to creating homes that stand the test of time.
We're based in Christchurch and build across the wider region. If you're nearby and not on the list, just ask.
Tell us what you're thinking and we'll help bring it to life. One of the owners will be in touch personally to guide you through the next steps.
