Award-Winning Custom Home Builders in Wellington & Kāpiti
For over 20 years, David Reid Homes Wellington has been designing and building some of the region’s finest custom architectural homes, trusted by discerning clients who value quality, innovation, and expert project management.

Experts in Building on Wellington’s Unique Terrain
Wellington’s rugged terrain and steep sites require a building partner who understands the region’s complexities. With decades of experience, David Reid Homes has a proven track record of creating stunning homes that are both functional and beautifully tailored to each site. Whether you're planning a hillside retreat or a city-fringe sanctuary, our expertise ensures your home is designed to suit your land and lifestyle.

Flexible Design & Build Options Tailored to You
While we offer a curated selection of pre-designed architectural home plans, many of our clients prefer to engage our Design & Build service. Working with our network of architectural and design professionals, we create homes that reflect how you want to live. Our early involvement in the process helps ensure your vision is feasible from both a design and cost perspective, allowing you to move forward with confidence. 

Transparent Pricing & Full Project Management
From the very first consultation, we provide realistic cost expectations and help navigate essential early-stage processes such as resource consent. All builds are delivered under a fixed-price contract, with the peace of mind of a Registered Master Builders Guarantee. Our end-to-end project management ensures a smooth, stress-free experience from design to handover.

Award-Winning Quality and Craftsmanship
Our homes consistently win recognition in the Master Builders House of the Year Awards, a testament to our commitment to excellence in design, construction, and client satisfaction. We hold ourselves to the highest standards because that’s what our clients expect and deserve. 

Now’s the Time to Start Planning
Thinking of building next year? The earlier we begin working together, the more refined and tailored your design will be. From first concepts to consent-ready drawings, we help you prepare for a seamless build process with no surprises.

Meet Our Team

  • “We enjoyed building with David Reid Homes as it was a fixed price contract and we weren’t in for any surprises. The quality of the house and our experience went so well the first time that five years later we have just completed our second home with the team.

    We are very happy with our second home, which was a slightly more complicated build due to it being on a hilly site needing retaining walls."

    Dr Giresh & Sathna Kanji, Strathmore
  • “Day by day we watched as DRH Wellington built our new home. The planning and effort that the team put in meant that it was plain sailing for us. And in the end, a home perfectly designed and built for the way we live. We love coming home.”

    Chris Lee & Karen Mitchell, Karori
  • “Building with David Reid Homes we felt reassured that we had a guarantee, and the professional project management team were always responsive to any issues that arose throughout the build.  We appreciated the advice given around dealing with council, neighbours and other contractors.The project was delivered on time, which was a big issue for us as a family, and within a fixed and transparent budget."
