We’re looking at building a guest cottage on our property and have been looking...

Hi Lottie, You’re right NBR article implies some problem, but other reports seem OK. But bearing in mind issues with other modular/factory type builds I’d be very cautious about how much you pay up front before delivery, and look carefully at contract regarding who owns partially built unit (or materials purchased for it) still in factory, if company folds before you get delivery.

Hi Lottie I would strongly suggest that you read the NBR article – you may even be able to contact the author for further information.

DO NOT BUILD WITH NOOK HOMES, LAW SUITS ARE BEING MADE AGAINST FRAUD, RECEIVING MONEY AND NOT BUILDING. I’m talking millions here. DO NOT BUILD WITH THEM

I couldn’t agree more, there is a litany of clients who have been left with incomplete homes, having paid out millions in advance to Nook Homes Ltd. Now the two owners Jade Stack and Brad Hollier have set up another company Arch Hive as shareholders and are exhibiting this new business venture at the Auckland Home Show this month. Nook and Arch Hive are to be avoided at all costs. Its disappointing that Nook clients are left significantly out of pocket, overcharged, ghosted and threatened and yet there seems to be no support mechanism for customers either legally (as this is both costly and time heavy) or through fair trade/consumer rights avenues. Its a warning sign that Nook have in business since 2018 and yet there are no testimonials, no magazine articles either architecture or interior design that celebrates a finished product and their website is mainly made up of CGI (computer generated images) rather than actual completed projects.
