First home buyers
Your first home, without the first-home compromise.
A Paragon home is often the way onto the ladder that actually works — a warm, NZ3604-certified home for less than the equivalent build on site, on land you already have access to or are buying with family.
- Talk to us about a package built around your deposit and KiwiSaver
- Fixed pricing, so your lender sees one number and not a moving target
- Built to NZ3604, which makes a home far easier to insure and finance

Made in our workshop
We do not order the joinery in.
We make it.
Thirty-five years of building and joinery sits behind every cabinet, wardrobe and bench in a Paragon home. It is designed with you, drawn by us, and built on the same floor as the house it goes into — so the clever storage, the odd-shaped cupboard and the thing you sketched on the back of an envelope are not an upsell. They are just what we do.
It is also why our homes fit more into the same footprint than they look like they should. Nothing here came off a pallet in a standard width.

Fewer, better decisions
The decisions are already narrowed to good ones.
Most build stress is decision stress — four hundred choices, no order to make them in, and no idea which ones you can change later. We give you a short list at each stage, in the order the build actually needs them, with the ones that are structural marked as structural.
-
01
Shortlisted
Every finish on the list is one we already build with and already stand behind.
-
02
Sequenced
Decisions arrive when the build needs them — not all at once at the start.
-
03
Documented
Everything you choose is photographed and specified in a selection book before it is ordered.
-
04
Reversible, until it is not
We tell you plainly which choices lock at consent and which stay open.

Smart Build Version
A simplified 65m² 3 bedroom.
A leaner take on Model Three — same Paragon build, fewer decisions. A simplified three-bedroom build offering an affordable housing option for Kiwi families, with the same trusted Paragon build quality and NZ3604 compliance.
The Smart Build Version floor plan is shown in full above.
What’s included
- Pre-set three-bedroom layout

- Fully insulated and transport-ready
- Same build process and personal care
- Customisable joinery and finishes
What’s different
- Fixed layout — no structural changes
- Simplified design to keep cost and lead time down
Same hands, same care — every Smart Build Version build still comes direct from Luke and Troy.
Minor dwellings
The best granny flat on the property is the one that was never a shed.
A Paragon minor dwelling is a proper home — insulated, double glazed, NZ3604-certified, with a real kitchen and a real bathroom. It arrives finished, so the back lawn is a building site for days rather than seasons.
-
Family close, not on top of you
Parents, adult kids, or someone who needs help nearby. Their own front door, their own kitchen, their own life.
-
Income when it is empty
A warm, certified, self-contained dwelling rents. Very few sheds and sleepouts legally can.
-
It adds to the property
A second dwelling is valued as a dwelling. And if the family changes, the home can be sold or moved.
Minor dwelling rules vary by district. We will tell you what your council allows before you spend anything.
