T T Anne Boswell Taking the stress out of building The company specialises in residential transportable homes, producing two to four-bedroom homes ranging from 60 to 140 sqm. Building a new home is often regarded as one of life’s most stressful experiences, but Manor Build is proving it doesn’t have to be that way. From its purpose-built factory in New Plymouth, the company has spent almost a decade delivering high-quality transportable homes throughout the lower and central North Island, combining the quality-control of off-site construction with a customer-first approach that puts homeowners at the centre of every project. Despite its modern approach to building, Manor Build’s story stretches back more than 30 years. Originally established as Cedarlands, the business specialised in cedar lodges and cabins before becoming part of the Uniplan Group, manufacturing prefabricated buildings for the holiday park industry. After being purchased by a New Plymouth family, operations were relocated to Taranaki, and the business was rebranded as Manor Build. Today, the company specialises in residential transportable homes, producing two to four-bedroom homes ranging from 60 to 140 sqm. It supplies homes throughout the North Island, from Taranaki to the Waikato and as far south as the Wairarapa. Manor Build consultant Ryland Currie says constructing homes in a controlled factory environment offers distinct advantages: it delivers consistent quality, with every stage of the build closely monitored before the home leaves the factory. Weather delays are reduced thanks to the 4,000sqm weather-proof factory, with capacity to construct up to 70 transportable homes annually. One recent example of Manor Build’s work is a residential development in High Street, Waitara, where the company helped a client relocate to Taranaki to be closer to family. The project began with an empty section, after the previous owner’s home had been destroyed by fire. Rather than simply supplying a house, Manor Build worked alongside the client from the outset: researching the property, confirming services remained intact after the fire and preparing detailed costings from concept through to completion. “It was important to keep within the budget that was set,” Ryland says. “We put a lot of research and investigation into ensuring that requirement was met, and it all came together on time and on budget.” For the client, a transportable home offered several key advantages. The fixed pricing provided financial certainty, while the quality of the design and specifications gave her confidence in the finished product. Equally appealing was the build timeframe, with the home completed in around five to six months — significantly faster than many conventional on-site builds. The Manor Build team also carefully considered the home’s positioning on the site, maximising natural sunlight and taking advantage of the surrounding views. Most importantly, the client appreciated that the company took a holistic approach to understanding her vision. “It wasn’t about simply putting a house on a section,” Ryland says. “It was about understanding what she wanted to achieve and creating a home that suited both the site and her lifestyle.” Whether building family homes, rental properties, farm accommodation, holiday homes or small commercial premises, Manor Build’s philosophy remains the same. “Building someone’s home is something special,” Ryland says. “You have to take into account the emotional experience as well as the financial considerations.”
