Back in 2012, Transbuild started building small units between 40m2 and 70m2 and has now grown to a wide range of residential and commercial buildings.
Transbuild chief executive Sam Paterson said the business started out in Dent Place in Papakura, primarily building cabins and later moving sites as the business continued to grow. Now in 2025, it’s come a long way.
The current Sutton Road site in Drury sits on a 17,000m2 site with a purpose-built, undercover factory with 20 building bays and a large yard for finishing the homes or commercial units. The site also offers easy access to the motorway.
“We moved into this site about seven years ago so we could construct up to 180m2 buildings, allowing us to build much larger homes than we used to do.”
On November 1, Transbuild held an opening for its new show home, the 151m2 Ruapehu.
Visitors toured the show homes, saw the different stages of building, and enjoyed food and entertainment.
Sam’s favourite part of the Ruapehu is the kitchen and living space with its high ceiling and open design.
Working with Transbuild helps speed up your build, he said. The average build time is seven to eight weeks.
“The beauty of our approach is that while a home is being constructed in our factory, site preparation can happen in parallel. That’s a huge time saving, cutting months off a traditional build timeline.”
The company’s complimentary site check provides a swift evaluation to determine the suitability of your site for a Transbuild off-site manufactured home – before you commit to purchasing.
All buildings leave the facility fully completed with Council Code of Compliance (CCC), ensuring a seamless transition from factory to site. Transbuild has sent homes and buildings across the wider Auckland area, up to the Far North and down to Wellington.
- Transbuild is holding a Transportable Home Open Day on Saturday, November 29, from 10am to 1pm.
