Design Driven, Detail Focused

Each home we build is unique—designed to suit your site, your taste, and the surrounding Queenstown landscape. We work closely with some of the region’s top architects and designers to ensure your home not only looks exceptional, but lives well too. Whether you're building a lakeside retreat or a modern alpine residence, we ensure every detail is considered, from the foundation to the final finish.

Redefining the Building Experience

At ICENIC Builders, we’re committed to breaking the status quo often associated with the building industry—where poor communication, vague pricing, and inconsistent quality leave clients feeling uncertain. We do things differently. With a team of experienced professionals, Certified Builders NZ and Licensed Building Practitioners, we deliver with integrity, precision, and full transparency. You’ll have a dedicated project manager—like Dylan or Phill—who knows your project inside and out, supported by robust systems, a live client portal, and weekly updates. From budget accuracy to clear communication, we’re here to build not just homes, but lasting trust.
