Who We Are

Barry Rowe has been in the building industry for over 40 years.  Early on in his career, he recognised an opportunity to create a quality built cottage – at an affordable price point – which ended up proving incredibly popular.  Barry has been able to build relationships with top tradespeople who understand the concept of cost-effective builds.  Recently he paired up with his nephew, Jonathon, and together they created “A House” out of Geraldine, Canterbury with the hope to get more people into homes.
