Heritage Homes: Built on Tradition and Modern Excellence

Heritage Homes was founded in 2001 by Keith Mitchell, a 3rd generation Master Builder determined to preserve the craftsmanship of traditional homebuilding. Seeing the decline of fine artistry in modern developments, Keith pioneered bespoke character builds that seamlessly blend old-world charm with cutting-edge building techniques.

Now led by Keith’s son, John Mitchell—a 4th generation Master Builder—Heritage Homes has grown into a national market leader with award-winning builds recognised at the 2021 Master Builders Awards. Under John’s leadership, Heritage Homes continues to deliver custom homes that reflect the individuality of New Zealand families while maintaining a reputation for integrity, quality, and excellence.

With demand higher than ever, John is now inviting passionate Franchise Partners to join Heritage Homes and help expand its success nationwide.
