Introducing David Reid Homes Whanganui and Manawatu

We're proud to announce that David Reid Homes is now building in Whanganui and Manawatū.

For those who've been waiting for a premium, bespoke building experience in this region - the wait is over.

Meet Shane Stone

Director, David Reid Homes Whanganui and Manawatū

Shane Stone is a well-known figure in the Whanganui building industry and a registered Master Builder since 2008. With nearly 30 years in the trade and over 100 homes built across the region, he brings a depth of local knowledge and hands-on experience that's hard to match.

"I've been building in Whanganui for coming up 30 years next year - with over 100 houses built." - Shane Stone, Director

Now joining David Reid Homes as franchise Director for Whanganui and Manawatū, Shane brings that same commitment to quality and client care to a new chapter - bespoke, architecturally designed homes for those who want more than a standard build.

What Makes David Reid Homes Different

Bespoke Homes, Built Around How You Live

Every David Reid Home starts with you. We take your ideas, your wishlist, and your vision for how you want to live - and design a home that brings it all to life.

From architects through to interior designers, the team has the skills and experience to create something that's genuinely yours. Every home is designed to suit your specific site - considering views, solar orientation, prevailing winds, slope, and privacy - and built with modern materials and construction technologies for long-term performance and energy efficiency.

Whether you're building on a lifestyle block, a rural property, or a residential section in the Whanganui and Manawatū region, the process is the same: your home, designed around you. From there, the team provides clarity at every stage - around programme, cost, and quality - so you can make decisions with confidence and plan your life around the build, not the other way around.

David Reid Homes works with clients who value quality, clear communication, and a builder who takes the time to get the details right. If that sounds like you - we'd love to start the conversation.

A National Brand. A Local Team.

David Reid Homes is one of New Zealand's most recognised residential building brands - and every franchise is built on the same principle: national strength, delivered locally.

Shane and his team - including Business Manager Jodi Bunker, Project Manager Josh Davy, Construction Manager Pete Connolly and Home Sales & Design Consultant Paula Jones - live and work here in the Whanganui and Manawatū region. They're invested in this community, they support local initiatives, and they're building homes for people right here. That local knowledge and accountability is at the heart of how every David Reid Homes franchise operates.
