Your energy bills will be reduced. Concrete has a unique property called ‘thermal mass’. This prevents major temperature fluctuations within the home.
Superior in strength, concrete homes are shown to have the highest resistance to earthquakes and unpredictable weather patterns.
Concrete is naturally waterproof, very airtight and shown to better withstand leaking and flooding.
As the leaders in concrete construction, Compass Homes build cost effective homes for a price you can afford, using a technique that compares favourably with other building techniques.
Superior in durability the lifespan of a concrete home is typically 200–300 years.
Concrete walls contain no organic material so they won’t support the growth of mould or mildew. Concrete also doesn’t have any toxic preservative chemicals.
Concrete creates a robust, secure living environment and is naturally fire resistant. Unlike wood, concrete resists fire.
A solid concrete home is on average 60% quieter. Being so dense, concrete naturally limits the conductivity of sound, making it an excellent sound barrier.
Concrete needs minimal maintenance. An annual soft wash is all that is required to maintain the quality exterior finish.
Using the Compass Homes process and technology, the time to erect a house from a section of bare land to completion, is dramatically reduced.

“We’ll get you home”
Top 5 Reasons why you
should finance
with NewBuild
Build your new Compass Homes for as little as 5% deposit
1. You can build your new home with a lower deposit
Not only does the Reserve Bank exempt building from any lending restrictions, you may be able to purchase both land and build packages with as little as 5% deposit. If your builder does not have the perfect house and land package for you, we can guide you to create your own tailored package with the same low deposit. You can even use your eligible Kiwi Saver to make up part, or all of your deposit. http://www.newbuild.co.nz/fina...
2. Make no interest repayment during your build with a “Client Turn-Key” construction loan
NewBuild offers all the benefits of a turn key loan - where you pay your deposit up front but do not start your loan repayments until you move in. But unlike a standard turn key, your land developer is paid up front, your builder is paid progress payments, and you own the land and build should anything go wrong. The combination of construction loan and turn-key loan is safe and simple.
The hardest part of building is where you must make rent and construction mortgage payments during your build - but you don’t have to with NewBuild.
3. Your loan is fully managed from start to finish
NewBuild has been around since 1999, and we know the pitfalls. We can guide you through the entire process, from land purchase to hand over and beyond. NewBuild acts as your “Finance Project Managers” ensuring the right funding is made to the right people at the right time. NewBuild charges a management fee of $1,000 but we do not require multiple progress valuations which makes our fees similar, and sometimes less expensive, than a standard construction loan.
4. Your NewBuild Loan is bank funded at bank rates
Your loan is a standard bank loan through Sovereign/ASB and your interest rates will be very competitive (they will often discount your rates considerably from those advertised).
While no “construction” margin is added for any NewBuild loan, loans with less than 20% deposit/equity will incur a low equity margin
5. We will include Contingency Reserves in your loan
Your loan will be structured to include sufficient reserves to cover your interest repayments and up to 5% additional reserves to cover unexpected costs or upgrades during your build. Every cent of the reserves you don’t spend belongs to you at the end of your build, so you have peace of mind that you will not run out of money through your build.
