Creating well designed, healthier, more sustainable homes.

Welcome to Whio Homes, a family-run construction company based in Canterbury.

Our mission is to introduce kiwis to a more sustainable way to build, creating not just structures, but beautiful, healthy, sustainable, comfortable homes that you will love living in.

Fuelled by our discontent with the quality of housing available to New Zealand families, we have embraced a build healthy approach that prioritises efficiency, premium natural materials, and a commitment to delivering the highest quality. The result? Your dream home, impeccably designed, exceptionally efficient, and a joy to call your own.

Our passion for better living and a healthier planet, led us to join forces with Forever Breathe™, offering you a sustainable and natural pathway to attain the Kiwi dream – a beautiful, efficient home that lowers the cost of living and leaves a lighter footprint on our precious environment.

Welcome to a brighter, greener future with Whio Homes!
