When you’re planning a new home, every family member has a wish list…

A sunny spot for afternoon naps. Somewhere to leave muddy paws. A good view of whoever’s coming up the driveway.

At Fraemohs Homes Tasman, we love helping you think through the little details that make a house work for your family—including the four-legged members.

What would your dog put on their new-home wish list?

A great deal on land could be the start of something special.

There are some tempting opportunities in lifestyle land at the moment. If you’ve been dreaming of more space, country views and a home of your own, a well-priced block could bring that dream a little closer.

But not all land is equal—and the purchase price is only part of the picture.

It’s easy to fall in love with a patch of land, then discover after buying that it needs substantial earthworks, retaining walls, a long driveway or more expensive foundations. Power connections, water tanks and wastewater systems can also add up.

That doesn’t mean you should walk away from a place you love. It means understanding those costs early, so you know how much of your budget is available for your home.

We’re happy to talk through a potential site with you and help identify what needs further investigation before you buy.

Found your little piece of paradise? Let’s talk about putting a home on it.
A rural build comes with a few extra things to organise: septic systems, water tanks, driveways and power. We can help plan and coordinate those alongside your home, so they’re part of the conversation from the start.

Craftsmanship is in the details—and in the skilled hands of the people building your home.

At Fraemohs Homes Tasman, we draw on a Scandinavian design and craftsmanship tradition that began in 1968. Our builders carry that care through to your home, bringing out the natural beauty of timber and making every detail count.

Hi, we’re Kathy and Andy, the local owners of Fraemohs Homes Tasman. Based in Ruby Bay, we help people across Nelson, Tasman and Marlborough turn their ideas into homes they love.

We’re drawn to the things that make Fraemohs special: timeless Scandinavian design, beautiful timber and warm, comfortable spaces that feel good to live in.

Just as important to us is getting to know the people we’re building for—how you live, what matters to you and what you want from your new home.

Building starts with plenty of questions, and we’re always happy to talk them through. Whether you’re considering a full build, exploring a kitset or simply gathering ideas, we’d love to hear what you have in mind.

Imagine planning your new home from overseas… with this view to look forward to. 💙

Our client first contacted us in mid-May while living and working overseas. Since then, through phone calls, emails and video chats, we’ve worked together to bring their new solid timber home closer to reality.

With building consent approved, today marked an exciting milestone: their home began manufacture in the Fraemohs factory!

This beautiful site will soon be home to warm timber walls and many happy memories. We’re delighted to be helping make it happen.

Thinking about building in Nelson, Tasman or the Marlborough Sounds while you’re living elsewhere? We’re happy to talk through how we can help.

At Fraemohs Tasman, we can help plan your off-grid build and organise the services that make it work, from solar and battery storage to water tanks and wastewater. We bring those conversations into the planning early, alongside the home itself.

Tell us about your piece of land and the way you want to live. Let’s work out what’s possible.
