Some homes we have built

  • “Building with Aaron and Nikki from David Reid Homes was an easy process which ended in us achieving a dream home that exceeded our expectations. They paid attention to the small details which resulted in a unique and high quality finish. The builders were helpful and friendly and communicated with us every step of the way. With the fixed price contract we had no nasty surprises with the build cost, giving us peace of mind throughout the building process. We would definitely recommend David Reid Waitaki to anyone looking to build!”

  • “Aaron and Nikki were our first choice when it came to building our first home.  We loved the David Reid designs and we found the perfect one to suit our family.  We were not able to be onsite much due to the distance, but Aaron was great at keeping us in the loop and helping us make decisions.  The workmanship and finishing was of a high standard and we could not be happier with the finished product.  We had put the pressure on to be in by Christmas and we were!  From start to finish we found Aaron and Nikki amazing to work with and it was exciting watching the progress of our home come together.  We can’t thank you enough for making the build such an enjoyable experience, with a brilliant end result.”
