Builders in Broadlands & Reporoa

HP Homes builds high performance homes on rural and lifestyle sites in Broadlands, Reporoa and the farmland north-east of Taupō. These open, frosty sites are where a well-insulated, airtight home makes the biggest difference: warm floors, even temperatures and low power bills, with no draughty rooms at the far end of the house.

Our Broadlands project

The Broadlands Home started with a family-first brief: how the family wanted to live in the house, day to day, for the next 30 years. Room-by-room orientation and thermal modelling locked in comfort before pricing; continuous insulation and MHRV were designed as one system; and the home was blower-door tested and the airflow balanced before handover. The result is a home that stays warm, quiet and comfortable through every Central Plateau season.

Building on rural Central Plateau sites

  • Exposure: open sites mean more wind and harder frosts, so airtightness and insulation matter more.
  • Foundations: an insulated slab stops heat escaping into cold ground.
  • Services: rural sites often mean tank water, on-site wastewater and longer power connections, all planned early.
  • Solar: open sites are well suited to passive solar design and PV.

Frequently asked questions

Do you build in Reporoa?

Yes, along with Broadlands and the wider area north of Taupō. See areas we serve.

Can a large rural home still be cheap to heat?

Yes. In a high performance home, size matters far less than how well the envelope is built.
