What We Do
Sound Living is a boutique home builder led by respected, experienced directors who are personally involved in delivering high-quality, well-thought-out homes. We collaborate with an industry-leading team of consultants to provide homes that balance quality and affordability. These partnerships, combined with our expertise, ensure efficient design and construction across all developments.

How We’re Different
Unlike many other developers, Sound Living is a fully integrated development and construction business. This means we manage the entire process in-house — from concept to completion — eliminating friction between developer and builder. The result is a smoother, more streamlined experience for our customers, and greater accountability from us.

We are committed to building better, faster, and more efficiently. By having complete control over each stage of the process, we focus on the details that matter and continuously improve, delivering higher-quality homes at more affordable prices.

Materials and Design
We believe in building homes that last. That’s why we only use robust, high-performance materials like concrete, steel, block, and brick. These materials ensure long-term durability and reduce maintenance costs setting us apart from other developers.

Landscaping
A key feature of every Sound Living development is thoughtful, high-quality landscaping. Lush gardens and green amenity spaces are designed to enhance everyday living and foster a strong connection to the great Kiwi outdoors. We believe these natural elements are essential to creating vibrant, livable communities.
