This custom new home build in Napier’s Meeanee area is a spacious, modern family residence designed for comfort, functionality, and style. Built by Drinkrow Homes, one of Hawke’s Bay’s leading design-and-build specialists, the home features four generous bedrooms, two bathrooms, and dual living spaces — perfectly tailored for family life. A separate gym and office wing with its own bathroom and private entry adds flexibility for working from home. High ceilings and oversized doors enhance the sense of space, while the fully tiled family bathroom, complete with a skylit double shower, delivers a true statement of luxury. This project exemplifies architectural home design and quality craftsmanship across Hawke’s Bay.
Constructed in the post-COVID period, this Napier new home build presented industry-wide challenges, including managing rising material costs, extended lead times, and limited subtrade availability. Careful budgeting and scheduling were critical as prices fluctuated and supply timelines shifted.
To stay ahead of the market challenges, Drinkrow Homes took a proactive approach — ordering key materials early, maintaining clear and consistent communication with suppliers, subtrades, and the client, and closely managing the construction schedule. Strategic planning and flexibility allowed the team to adjust timelines without compromising quality. Through disciplined coordination and well-established systems, this Hawke’s Bay new build progressed smoothly despite industry pressures, demonstrating the value of strong organisation and transparent project management.
The finished Meeanee Road new build in Napier is a spacious, modern family home that perfectly balances functionality and refined design. Every detail — from the generous layout and high-stud ceilings to the fully tiled bathroom with skylit double shower — reflects Drinkrow Homes’ commitment to craftsmanship and precision. The result is a bright, cohesive, and highly liveable home, delivered on time and to an exceptional standard despite challenging market conditions — another showcase of design-and-build excellence in Hawke’s Bay.
