David Wraight has been building houses since starting an apprenticeship 25 years ago. The company consists of David, wife Kirsty and an apprentice. David Wraight Cottages is a small team that work on the building sites together. Designing and building homes for over seven years, David Wraight Cottages started off with smaller cottages and as it has progressed with its systems, it has moved on to villas and larger character homes and homesteads. David Wraight Cottages is not a big company so it doesn't have unlimited plans and prices. David will sit down with the customer to talk about their needs and will design and price their home. Because David Wraight Cottages designs, prices and builds homes, it can keep its customers informed with what is going on to ensure customers stay within their budget.

New Team Member
We are pleased to announce that Dave Gee has joined our team. Dave is a local man with lots of experience and so we are looking forward to putting his skills and talents to work. For the last eight years we have spent a lot of time focusing on improving our systems and styles.

Advances in our Building Styles
We have moved on from using gib board and are now doing panelled ceilings and a mix of panelled and grooved walls to give the authentic look of yesterday. This makes the homes warmer and more solid.

When we began we concentrated on cottages and farm style homes and we are pleased to advise that we have expanded into villas and Californian bungalows to meet the varied needs of our clients. We believe that the villa represents the charm and elegance of old New Zealand and this will always hold good resale value. Our clients have told us that it is easy to on-sell one of our homes, a fact we are proud of.

Testimonials

"We built a David Wraight Cottage some 4 years ago. David and Kirsty made the experience of building stress free and very rewarding. They are a great team to work with and we are very pleased with the results. Our cottage has been admired by many and we have found it easy to live in and easy to care for. Our cottage felt like home from the day we moved in. We have no hesitation in recommending a David Wraight Cottage as your next home."
