Luxury home builder · Auckland, NZ

The award-winning custom home builder in Auckland for design-led, high-performance homes

Q: Do you build across all Auckland budgets?

Yes. Whether you're investing $500k, $1M, or $5M, our workmanship is identical. A larger budget means a larger home with more finishes, but the craftsmanship, attention to detail, and performance standards never change.

Q: What makes your homes "high-performance"?

We specify and install building systems that work in practice, not just on paper: meticulously fitted insulation, sealed building wrap, double glazing, no thermal bridges, and heat recovery ventilation. Your home stays warm in winter and cool in summer, with lower power bills.

Q: How long does a custom home take to build?

Every project is different, but we'll walk you through our scheduling week-by-week during your discovery call, so you can see exactly how your home will come to life, and plan around it with confidence.

Q: Is the discovery call really free? And is it a sales pitch?

Yes, it's free, and no, it's not a sales pitch. You'll speak directly with Ben Lewis, the owner. He'll answer your questions honestly, share design ideas, explain pricing, and give you criteria for comparing any builder, not just us.

Q: What happens after we move in?

Handover isn't the end. You're supported by our priority local Warranty and Fine-Tuning Programme, so any adjustments are handled quickly by the same team that built your home.

Custom homes built for comfort, performance, and everyday living. Well-designed homes built to last, with clear pricing and quality workmanship throughout.

How we deliver exceptional homes to life

Lewis Build and Alchemy collaborate from the very first conversation, so the home you imagine, the home you can afford, and the home we build are always the same home.

Product Features

Everything a truly high-performance
Auckland home needs.

It's one thing to specify high-performance products. It's another to install them properly.
Our in-house team does both so your home genuinely performs, day after day, winter after winter.

Meticulous insulation

R-rated insulation installed with zero gaps because a high spec means nothing if it isn't fitted right.

Sealed building wrap

Generous overlaps, taped joins, wind-tight performance, the quiet detail that transforms energy efficiency.

Double glazing as standard

High-performance glazing that stops heat loss in winter and keeps interiors comfortable through Auckland summers.

No thermal bridges

Engineered detailing that eliminates conductive energy transfer, reducing power bills and boosting comfort.

Heat recovery ventilation

Fresh, filtered air throughout your home without sacrificing warmth for better health, better sleep, and lower bills.

Design optimisation

Orientation, window placement, natural light and airflow, engineered to save thousands over the life of your home.
