How Utecture Sets Us Apart — And Why It Matters for Your Build

At Lewis Build, we don’t just follow industry trends—we set them. As one of the only building companies in Auckland using Utecture software, we’re proud to be leading the way with smarter, more transparent, and client-focused construction.

Utecture is cutting-edge technology that allows us to model your project in 3D, price it in real time, and collaborate visually with you from the very beginning. While most builders are still quoting from spreadsheets and two-dimensional plans, we’re offering a full virtual experience—before a single nail goes in.

Here’s how Utecture gives our clients a serious advantage—and why working with Lewis Build means working with forward-thinkers.

1. See your home before it’s built

Forget trying to imagine your home based on 2D plans. Utecture lets us build a complete 3D model of your project so you can walk through it, explore spaces, and make real-time changes with confidence.

We can adjust layout, cladding, cabinetry, flooring, and more—and show you instantly how it affects both the design and the cost.

2. Make smart design decisions, faster

Utecture connects the dots between design and budget in real time. Want to change your roofing material or explore a different kitchen layout? We can show you instantly how those changes impact your overall cost.

No guesswork, no vague allowances—just clarity and control, from the start.

3. Accurate pricing with live market data

Utecture uses up-to-date pricing data from suppliers and subcontractors, meaning you get an accurate, itemised breakdown of your project—right down to the last detail.

This eliminates the ‘guesstimates’ and underquoting that can lead to stress and blowouts later.

4. A better pre-construction experience

We use Utecture as part of our Master Builders Preliminary Agreement, which covers you from the initial consultation through to contract signing.

Instead of relying on back-and-forth emails or paper quotes, we use Utecture to create a collaborative, visual, and interactive process where you feel empowered every step of the way.

5. We’re leading the way in Auckland

Let’s be clear: very few builders in Auckland offer Utecture. We saw the value in it early and invested in it because we believe our clients deserve better. While others are still quoting the old-fashioned way, we’re bringing your project to life digitally—before it even goes to site.

It’s part of our commitment to transparency, innovation, and delivering a smoother, more enjoyable build experience.

In summary

Utecture isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s a total game-changer. It gives our clients confidence, clarity, and control from day one. And at Lewis Build, we’re proud to be one of the first in Auckland to bring it to the table.

Because when you’re building something as important as your home, you deserve more than guesswork—you deserve a builder who’s ahead of the curve.

Curious to see your project brought to life in 3D? Get in touch and let’s show you how we’re changing the building game with Utecture.
