Our Story
Our Story
Proudly family-owned and operated in Mount Maunganui, Mount Timber Homes was incorporated in 1991 and has been helping Kiwi families bring their homeownership dreams to life for over three decades.
Owners Bob and Kylie remain actively involved in the day-to-day operation of the business, working closely with clients and overseeing projects from concept through to completion. Since the beginning, we have been building homes right here in our Mount Maunganui yard, combining trusted craftsmanship with personalised service.
Over the years, we have built a strong reputation for quality supported by a long-standing team of skilled builders and trusted subcontractors who share our commitment to delivering exceptional homes. The result is a positive, family-focused atmosphere where clients feel supported and valued throughout their building journey.
Whether you're looking for a transportable home, a customised design, or guidance through the building process, our experienced team is always here to help. We invite you to visit our Mount Maunganui yard, explore our display home, and meet the team, or connect with us remotely from anywhere in New Zealand.
