Building where you need it.
The West Coast of the South Island can be an inhospitable place to build in. Extreme weather events and temperature fluctuations are the norm when building in the Westland area. Fairmaid Builders have had years of experience in just these types of conditions and whenever we quote a build, we take this into account.
Whether building a new home for yourself or a herd home for your cattle, off the main road or in the high country, we get the job done.

Building a new home
Building the home you desire can be an intimidating experience. With that in mind we do our best to guide you through the entire building process step by step. We will discuss your plans and lend our years of experience when needed to make sure you have a home you can sit in and be proud of.
Based on those plans, we’ll provide a quote for the building work and most importantly, a realistic timeframe in which we can complete your home. Realistic timeframes are important as all building work on the Coast is affected by our weather. We do our best to account for stoppages due to extreme weather so we can deliver on time.
Herd Homes
A HerdHomes® Shelter is a covered area in which animals can relax, be fed, and lie down in comfort – all with a built-in and sustainable effluent system. It has many vital benefits for both farmer and herd – specifically increased animal welfare, reduced environmental impacts, increased milk production and a reduction in fertiliser costs.
Farming practices have changed a lot over the past decade. This HerdHomes® shelter system combines the best features of traditional stand-off areas, feed pads, and loafing areas into one innovative farming solution
